Voltaire and Deady

Voltaire is a singer in AdventureQuest Worlds.

History

The players met Voltaire and his teddy bear sidekick Deady when he takes them on a cruise to Skull Punch Island in search of the Cursed Guitar of Skull Punch Island. After fighting past some Undead Pirates, a Braken, Fishbones, and the Beast of Pirate's Bay, the players find the Cursed Guitar of Skull Punch Island. The Cursed Guitar of Skull Punch Island required the right spell and when it was said wrong, it turned Voltaire into the giant Undead Voltaire. After being defeated, it regress back to Voltaire.

Voltaire then returned for a concert for a concert in Battleon where Deady sends them to Skull Punch Island to reclaim the top hat that was surging with cursed energy.

In a ghost story told by Ranger George Lowe, he called in Voltaire to help Twig with his nightmares. Voltaire and Deady then knock the players out which sends them into Twig's dream where they have an encounter with Twiggy Krueger. After George Lowe in the form of the George Lowe-Viathan was defeated, he assists Kimberly Freeman and Artix into taking George Lowe away.

Voltaire later returned to help fight the forces of the Necrus Lord Krom Wrath and his Necrosian forces from the planet Necronus in order to keep them from stealing the Vorutanian Key Blade. After fighting passed the One-Armed Bandit's gang and getting off the Ghost Train, the player, Voltaire, and Deady arrive at the sunken ship from Vorutania and discover Lord Krom Wrath's army at the ship with Lord Krom Wrath in possession of the Vorutanian Key Blade. After fighting through the Necrosian Soldiers and Necrosian Walkers, the players swipe the Vortuanian Key Blade from Lord Krom Wrath who reveals that Deady is actually Urkor Malravenous. Deady assumes his true form of Urkor Malravenous to fight Lord Krom Wrath who summons Yaharneth to reclaim the Vorutanian Key Blade. While One-Armed Bandit arrived to settle a score with Voltaire, the players fight Yaharneth and defeat him. Lord Krom Wrath orders his army to retreat while Voltaire emerges upon being beaten up by One-Armed Bandit. Voltaire then lets the player keep the Vorutanian Key Blade as Deady shows them how he makes sushi.

The players use the Bloody Deady chant to summon Voltaire and Deady to Little Etherstorm when the tinker Kierk's robotic daughter Amira 2.0 goes berserk upon Little Etherstorm's king trying to claim her for his bride. With the aid of a unicorn wrangler named Andrew Huang, the players perform a ritual which involves dipping a black unicorn into a volcano to create a fire-elemental black unicorn which helped to prove instrumental in defeating Amira 2.0. Using the Vorutanian Key Blade, Voltaire restores Amira 2.0 to normal as he plans to hold on to the black unicorn that he created.

When the Sleezter Bunny arrives at the site of the crashed Necrosian Invasion ship and leads the Bunny Minions (which were created using the Necrosian Clone-o-Mat 3000) in a plot to take over Lore for his master, the players join forces with Voltaire and Deady in order to stop the Sleezter Bunny (who is also an enemy of Deady). The players fight Bunny Minions in order to forge some disguises for the infiltration. Once the disguises are made, the players infiltrate the crashed Necrosian Invasion ship to confront Sleezter Bunny. Upon the players defeating Sleezter Bunny, the players and Deady question Sleezter Bunny on what is in the large egg. Sleezter Bunny states that he doesn't know and that he was following orders from his master. Deady then rips off Sleezter Bunny's head and puts it on in order to find out who Sleezter Bunny's master is. Upon contacting the nearby orb disguised as Sleezter Bunny, Deady tells the players that the Beast Maker is Sleezter Bunny's master and creator alongside the other horror movie matinee rejects. Upon informing this to Voltaire, he tells the players that Beast Maker is more stupid than Sleezter Bunny. Voltaire tells the players that they should deactivate the giant egg timer and the Clone-o-Mat 3000. Voltaire tells the players and Deady that he sifted through the wreckage and found a Necrosian Mantis Ray. While the players and Deady try to stop the giant egg from hatching, Voltaire plans to improve the Necrosian Mantis Ray to destroy the giant egg once and for all. The players collect spare parts for the Necrosian Mantis Ray, obtained a map of Sleezter Bunny's lair from one of the Bunny Minions, and disabled the Clone-o-Mat 3000. While the players work to disable the egg timer, a Bunny Minion mistook Deady for Sleezter Bunny as Deady claims that the players are the Egg Repair Person. After Deady sends the Bunny Minion on his way, the players deactivate what was the plug the Egg Timer only to discover that the plug was for the coffee maker. The giant egg hatches into a giant undead bunny. Voltaire arrives with a tricked-out Necrosian Mantis Ray where the Unicorn Shields tripled the capacity of the Necrosian Mantis Ray with additional firepower donated through the power of the Vorutanian Key Blade. The players pilot the upgraded Necrosian Mantis Ray while being advised not to turn on the windshield wipers and the radio at the same time. The players managed to damage the undead bunny monster. So the players turn on the windshield wipers and radio which shorted out enough to destroy the monster as the players land near Voltaire and Deady. Deady notices that the monster's rabbit feet are still around stating that they should be good luck. As the player apologize for the loss of the Vorutanian Key Blade and the Unicorn Shields, Voltaire states that it's a small price to pay for saving all of Lore and that they might show up again sooner or later. The Beast Maker is not pleased with Sleezter Bunny's failure and is planning to keep a closer eye on the players.

Following Sleezter Bunny's failure, Beast Maker takes matters into his own hands causing the players to work with Voltaire and Deady to stop the Beast Maker. In Lore, the players fight Flabberbats and Whablobbles in order to get the Shadow Key to the Shadow Gate leading to the Neverworld (the home of nightmares in the Shadow Realms). When the players, Voltaire, and Deady enter the Neverworld, they find that the Beast Maker has left for Lore and that he didn't take all of his creatures with him. The players end up fighting Beast Maker's Spid-Squiders, Snackistopheles, and Fishizzles. After solving the riddle, the players enter Beast Maker's lab where Deady unknowingly activates the machine that clones Beast Master's experiments. After taking out the cloning machine' Generator, the players look for Voltaire's Commander of Unicorns Shield in the Beast Master's kennel. Then the players free the creatures from their cages and lure the creatures to the main hall with kibble and even bring those who couldn't be lured out to the main hall. After besting the Beast Maker, the players get the Commander of Unicorn Shield from Voltaire and reflects the sunlight towards the Beast Maker and his creatures. Beast Maker vows to collect monsters and make Lore his. Deady makes a wager involving Sleezter Bunny's head and tail with Beast Maker where if Deady wins, Beast Maker and his creatures go back to the Neverworld. Beast Maker states that if he wins, he'll get all of Lore. Voltaire tells the players that something good is going to happen by how innocent Deady looks. Sleezter unknowingly knocks himself and Beast Maker back into the portal to the Neverworld. When the player asks Voltaire if the Commander of Unicorn Shield can help shield Lore from the Neverworld, Voltaire and the players use the Commander of Unicorn Shield to seal the entrance to the Neverworld.

Voltaire later helps the players collect the pieces of a treasure map that leads to the Chumbeard's treasure, they obtain the services of a Gargoyle Bat called Hargoyle as they set off for treasure. Just then, Voltaire's ship are attacked by Vampirates (a race of vampire pirates) and Creepy Bats. After encountering the Vampirate Captain Von Poach, the ship is pulled underwater by the Bracken Kraken. Voltaire has the air for the airtanks collected from the Stranglerfish, fight off the Vampirates and Murderaconians, and defeat the Bracken Kraken in order to unsink the ship. Upon getting back on course, the players and Voltaire arrive at Mystery Treasure Island. While Voltaire, Deady, and Hargoyle hold off some of the Vampirates, the players look for the treasure. Upon finding Chumbeard's treasure, Captain Von Poach arrives with a plot to claim Chumbeard's treasure and Hargoyle. After defeating Captain Von Poach, the players discovered that anyone who opens the treasure chest will be doomed to a life of exact opposites. This causes Captain Von Poach's loot to turn to candy and Captain Von Poach to be turned into a Gargoyle Bat who falls in love with Hargoyle. Unbeknownst to the players and Voltaire, Deady manages to find the map to the real buried treasure.
