This command looks up live BDO player data from external APIs — not CoGM's internal gear database. It shows guild membership and history for any player, not just CoGM users. Family names are region-scoped (one per region: NA, EU, SA), so a family name uniquely identifies a player account on that server.

What's displayed

Family name

The player's account name

Current guild

Guild they're currently in

Guild member count

Size of their current guild

Guild history

Previous guilds tracked by CoGM

Profile data

Class, level, and other public profile info if available

Private profile note

Shown if the player has a private adventurer profile

Family names are region-scoped

In Black Desert Online, family names are only unique within a region. A family name on NA is different from the same family name on EU. If you need to look up a player from a specific region, use the optional region parameter.

Troubleshooting

"No player found"

The family name doesn't exist on that region, or the BDO API returned no results. Check the spelling and make sure you're searching the right region.

"No guild shown"

The player may not be in a guild, or their profile is set to private. CoGM will show guild data from its tracking pool if available.

Wrong region result

Specify the region explicitly using the region parameter: NA, EU, or SA.
