Personality: Volke is a man of few words, as he tends to only speak when ordered to or if the situation calls for conversation. That however all depends on what situation he deems is worthy of his opinion. Despite being one who chooses not to speak he has no problems with being part of the crowd and is mostly always seen with one. He is also very stubborn and strict when it comes to his duties as a Leuitenent which in turn pushes lower ranking members and women away.

History: Volke was born into a small family in the western rukon district. He and his five siblings were always seen together whether it was playing games, or being scolded, they stuck together like glue. Volke was always the roudy one of the bunch as he would pull the others into situations where they were sure to get scolded, but this never bothered him. His way of thinking soon changed a few years later when a random exploration to the outskirts of the Rukongai ended the wrong way. He and his siblings were drawn into a trap by a few hollows that had snuck into the soul society. He alone survived the attack when shinigami came to his aid, but lost his sight and careless attidute in one blow.
After several years of despair and mental therapy he entered the Shinigami academy as a way to atone for his siblings deaths. His sight did little to hinder his progress through the academy as his other senses had become so highly tuned that he can read letters written in ink by the way the ink travels. His skills in stealth and agility earned him a instant position into the stealth forces even before graduation. Though he refused the instant promotion at first he soon began to realize that more men and women were on their way to passing him and gladly accepted the position. Some more years passed as he trained withen the Second division and the Omnistukido, his skills growing everyday. Every mission, every battle, every neardeath experience built his menatl and physical skills to their peak and he soon became the Lueitenent of the Second division.
His duties after his promotion were harsh, much harder then he thought they would be. Each day was a battle to the death as he trained his squad, as well as being challenged by his Captain. After several bouts between him and his superior, she deemed that he had improved greatly, even enough to surpass her. So one day she relinquished her title of Captain only to pass it down onto Volke, a role that he vowed to uphold to the best of his abilities in honor of those who had beleived in him.
