Pepper

Pepper is a warrior bard residing in Britain during Ultima IV.

Description
Described as a "spicy" woman, Pepper could be found near the arms dealers of the city, and would enigmatically hint to the Stranger that those of her profession were usually well-informed. After hearing a tip from the beggar, Sprite, the hero would seek out Pepper's advice as to finding the Rune of Compassion, which she would reveal lay at the end of a hallway somewhere within Britain.

Trivia

 * In the alleged journal of the Avatar discovered by historians Robert DeMain and Carlotta Stein, the hero mentions that they sensed Pepper had been awaiting them, as if expectant that she would play a part in their quest.
 * In the Nintendo port of Ultima IV, Pepper is absent, with an unnamed  ranger giving the hint as to the Rune's location (now located at the foot of Britannia Manor's stairs) in her stead.
