Ferryman
From Editable Codex
The Ferryman of Skara Brae is met in Ultima VII. A mysterious and scary looking, yet peaceful entity waiting for people to use his services.
The Ferryman was summoned by Horance when he called the dead of Skara Brae some time after Ultima VI. Since then, he would stay at the Ferry Station at the Misty Channel, to bring people from and to Skara Brae for a small fee. The Avatar met him in Ultima VII, and used his services. The Ferryman however, was unable to make the final sacrifice, to his sadness.
For the magics that summoned him bound him to Britannia as well, he would be there for until the end of time, unable to find peace and being indestructible. At least in the newly-rebuilt city of Skara Brae, he would have much company, people to brighten up his up to now lonely existence.
[edit] Trivia
- Even Armageddon won't destroy the Ferryman, and he will react quite annoyed to the Avatar after it (what do you expect, now he will have no one to speak with!).
- It surely is no coincidence, that the Ferryman looks exactly like the Grim Reaper.
