Sir Pendaran

Sir Pendaran is a knight of Serpent's Hold at the time of Ultima VII.

Description
Should the Avatar speak to Pendaran, they would find that he bore a deep-seated resentment about the inadequacies of Britannia's government, feeling that Lord British and the Great Council had been failing to protect the interests of the populace for some time. Discontented with the ruling parties of the realm, he had joined with the Fellowship, and was hopeful that the organization could help to provide the security the government did not.

Should the hero be investigating an incident in which a statue of Lord British had been been vandalized in the keep's commons, they could eventually follow the trail of evidence back to Pendaran's beloved, the Lady Jehanne, who would tearfully confess that her lord was the culprit. When confronted, Pendaran would initially be angry, misogynisticly berating the hero for trusting the word of a woman, but would eventually come to admit his guilt, and would vow to do penance for it.

Trivia

 * Sir Pendaran's real world counterpart is Ultima VII designer, Brian Martin, and Lady Jehanne is based on his wife, Pam. The two respectively participate as Pendaran Glamorgan and Jehanne d'Avignon in the Society for Creative Anachronism's barony of Bryn Gwlad, where Richard Garriott has been known to assume the persona of  Shamino Sallé Dacil.
 * In the SNES Port of Ultima VII, Pendaran will prove immediately contrite upon being confronted with his crime, and will promise not only to repair the statue, but to look after it for the rest of his life as though it were his own.
