Volteeg's story, book by book

    His single cookbook entry, about missing someone and doubting survival is worth it, stays with Carl during a hard moment.

    Source: Book 5, ch. 47

    His interlude tells his story: a pet whose owner Mistress Henspar died on the seventh floor, he took a deal on the tenth floor and later returned as a mercenary tank commander in Faction Wars.
