What's up with Voldo from Soulcalibur?

Published Aug 14, 2026, 7:58 AM EDT Voldo. He's been in every Soulcalibur game, wiggling and gyrating his way into our hearts. But what's his deal? Voldo stands out next to the grim, stoic guys of fighting games. He's got grace, he's got slippery, slick moves, and more often than not he's covered in fishnets, leather and spikes. Pat traces Voldo's design through history, to post-World War 2 leather culture and up through the early days of wrestling. So, what's up with Voldo? A lot, but we'll walk you through it. #voldo #soulcalibur
