"Goldo Golderson... Now there's a name that's just asking for trouble." — Gnarl
Goldo Golderson is the ruler of the Golden Hills and king of the Dwarves. He represents the sin of greed.
History
The Wizard told Goldo that he could have all the gold he ever wanted, since no one would deny him as a hero.
Rollie,Goldo's pet and ultimate weapon
, and has let his desire for wealth take over all other aspects of his life. His greed goes as far as to retrieve the expensive wedding gift he gave to Sir William after his wedding was called off. He also invaded the Evernight Forest to kidnap the elves, so that he could force them to mine for more gold. According to Gnarl his mother is Goldie Golddigger (who favours older dwarves) and his cousin is Golden Goldeater (the dwarves do not like to talk about him).
Overlord
He battles the player in his 'pet' steamroller called Rollie in the Royal Halls of the Golden Hills stronghold. Upon meeting Goldo, he retreats behind a door further into his stronghold, only to emerge in Rollie, and attacks the Overlord. After Rollie is defeated it explodes and Goldo leaps out vulnerable to attack and when hit, also explodes. His crown and battle axe can be picked up afterwards. It should be noted that if you just stand next to Goldo after you defeat Rollie, he will swing his axe at you, which can injure the Overlord.
Later it is revealed that he is holding both a large haul of gold and the last of the elven women in a store room behind the area where he is battled.

Trivia
