Derek the Bard

Derek is a young bard staying at Empath Abbey during Ultima IV.

Description
Derek was in the midst of playing newly composed songs at the Abbey at the time of the Stranger's pilgrimage there. Should the hero commune with the being known as Life that rested enshrined within the keep's grounds, they would know to ask the young musician of the Candle of Love. If thus asked, Derek would inform the Stranger that the candle was hidden in a secret location near Lock Lake.

Trivia

 * In the Nintendo remake of Ultima IV (where most character names were omitted and dialogue was significantly modified), Derek can be identified with a bard in Cove who has the same role of completing the information about the Candle of Love.
