Caradon

Sir Caradon is a paladin in Serpent's Hold in Ultima VI.

The Avatar met young Sir Caradon in Serpent's Hold recovering from battle against the gargoyles. Sir Caradon told the hero his gruesome tale of how he and ten companions tried to free the Shrine of Honesty from a group of gargoyles, but just before charging the group of gargoyles, Sir Caradon saw them drink something from a small vial. Empowered by their magical draught, their foe fought like cyclones, and Sir Caradon's captain ordered him to return to town for help when only the two of his companions were left standing. Sir Caradon returned with more men just in time to see the gargoyles throwing the last of his companions' bodies into a large fire to ensure they could not be resurrected. The gargoyles then immediately fell over dead.

Trivia

 * Caladon claimed to have fought Gargoyles near the Shrine of Honesty just outside of Yew, so he must be more injured than he realized because Yew and the Shrine of Honesty are on opposite ends of Britannia.
