===Personality===
Polo is loud (due to his inability to understand the concept of volume) and eccentric, sometimes unable to control his mouth. His deafness causes him to be heavily dependent on Marco's sign language, as well as reading peoples' lips. According to Marco, he hates being left out of conversation.

==History==
===Background===
Polo, along with his friend [[Marco]], are well known [[Goblin]] mercenaries. They had killed hundreds of people, including 451 [[Elf#|Elves]]. They are also known for their "special move": Shooting themselves out of a Cannon and destroying wherever they land. It was during one of their "special moves" that Marco and Polo suffered an accident, resulting in Marco going blind and Polo going deaf. Despite their handicaps, they continue to be exceptional mercenaries for hire.

===[[The New Crew]]===
[[Marco]] and Polo are first seen being recruited by Captain [[Merci]], who, while hesitant, accepts them aboard the [[Bocoe]] after hearing of their achievements. Marco regales him with a sprawling narrative, explaining he and Marco's story, however the bored Merci simply leaves for [[Pier-17]] along with the rest of the Tavern. Leaving the two alone in an empty tavern.On board the ship, the two are asked to participate in [[Rick Snot]]'s favorite board game, Unforgotten Realms. They play alongside [[Cain]], Patches, and [[Ladyir]], where they role-play as a group of elves going to kill an island of skeleton zombie janitors. Ladyir is appointed party leader, but after much threatening from Maelstrom, Rick caves and lets him be leader. Cain is appointed first mate. The party enters the island, however Cain being scared of skeletons, Rick reverses roles. Instead having the party be skeletons out to kill an island of Elves in order to steal a ruby Patches starts questioning why they are taking the ruby as they come upon it and they elect not to pick it up. A dragon comes down and defeats them ending the Meta level game. Cain then bites off Rick’s entire arm causing Merci to run over and deal with it telling him that they can get him a new arm.

Reaching the Island of [[Laeyuleaugh]], [[Merci]] decides the men need inspiring, so he calls upon [[Jo Krysstal]] to sing them a rousing chorus of "Fuck the Kobolds" before getting to work. Marco and Polo are sent to attack the castle at the top of the island where they will find the key. Merci tells them to just find the key and not worry about the elves unless they start to attack while he watches the door. Marco and Polo buckle and completely destroy the first room making a cleric run in. Ladyir does to help the goblins. Rick runs to the lake and summons a frost elemental. Cain destroys two book cases making two Sunswords notice his presence. Fenris is summoned via whistle. Marco attempts to see Fenris’ max stamina however; he cannot because he is blind. Cain throws his puppy at Fenris who pretty much eats the dog. Rick sends his frost elemental to go attack Fenris, and refers to his Urealms Dungeoneer Encyclopedia to see what he can find out about the current situation - Finding that Fenris creates sun tiles wherever he walks, and standing on them will cause them to explode and give the sun clerics enough energy for a bonus action. Fenris runs at Rick, but gets momentarily stuck in the door, unable to reach him.

Marco and Polo continue to attack the elves while Ladyir runs ahead to search for the key and then shields himself from attacks. Rick begins unloading all his spells into Fenris. He then refers to the encyclopedia once again, finding out that Fenris has 200 max stamina, and is able to regenerate stamina. Ladyir finally finds the key and notifies everyone in the house he’s got it. Everyone finds their way out of the house except for Merci who is captured.

The remaining party members, (Excluding Jo and Maelstrm who are nowhere to be found,) enter the [[Bocoe]]. McCoy, being the first mate, is now the captain and orders them to head for open sea. However they are soon overtaken by the Sunsword War Gally. Very clearly outnumbered, McCoy orders his men to defend the ship to their last and leaves his Dog to steer the ship. Despite [[Phineas]]' pleas that they need to surrender now. Marco and Polo prepare for their special move by loading themselves into a cannon and basting aboard the other ship. They untie [[Merci]] and tell him he needs to go, Merci stays where he is and tries to explain that fighting is futile. Soon McCoy too takes this advice and surrenders. But Marco and Polo, knowing that Goblins are not kept in the [[Silver Mine Mountains]], kept fighting. [[Virgo Sunsword]] begins to slowly walk to the duo. Drawing his sword, ready to execute the two. He however is pushed out of the way by Cain, hoping to have one last meal before Prison. Cain reaches for the tasty goblins, but just as he does the two slip and fall off the edge of the ship.

===Fate===
It is implied that he, along with Marco, were able to make it back to the Bocoe. Their fate after that is unknown.

==Trivia==
*Polo's name, along with [[Marco|Marco's]] is a reference to the game ''Marco Polo'' as well as the famous explorer, Marco Polo.
*Polo's original name was Alex.
