The character first appears in the second book of the series, *The Wolf’s Heart*, published in 2015. Voolutoitel is a mysterious and enigmatic figure who plays a significant role in the lore and political intrigue of the series.

Voolutoitel is described as a powerful sorcerer and a member of the ancient and secretive order known as the *Voolutoiters*, a group of scholars and mystics dedicated to preserving forbidden knowledge. Unlike traditional warriors or rulers, Voolutoitel operates in the shadows, often serving as a mentor or guide to key characters. Their true origins and motivations remain largely ambiguous, adding to their mystique.

The character’s name is derived from Finnish mythology and language, with "voolutoitel" loosely translating to "whisperer" or "one who speaks in riddles."

Voolutoitel’s influence extends beyond mere advice; they are believed to possess deep connections to the supernatural forces that shape the world of the series.

Voolutoitel’s appearance is rarely described in detail, reinforcing their otherworldly nature. They are often depicted as an elderly figure with a calm, detached demeanor, though their true age and physical form may be illusions. Their knowledge of ancient texts, forgotten languages, and hidden magic makes them a pivotal figure in the series’ exploration of power, destiny, and the balance between order and chaos.

While Voolutoitel’s exact role varies across the series, their presence underscores themes of hidden wisdom, the cost of knowledge, and the blurred line between guidance and manipulation. Fans of the series often speculate about their true allegiance, whether they serve a higher purpose or act purely for their own ends. Their character remains one of the most intriguing elements of *The Chronicles of the House of the Wolf*, inviting readers to interpret their significance within the broader narrative.
