Nelson

Nelson is a scholar in Moonglow, who works in the Lycaeum. He also is the twin brother of Brion, the orrery keeper. He also is a very calm man.

The Avatar met Nelson in Moonglow in Ultima VII, where he was a great source for information of all kind. He later directed the Avatar to Jillian in the Lycaeum, who could give the answers concerning the island of Ambrosia.

After the destruction of the Black Gate, Nelson also dwelled on mystic arts, beside his other activities, while growing himself a beard.

One year later, in Ultima Underworld II, he too attended the festival in Britain, and was imprisoned into Castle Britannia by the Guardian's Blackrock Dome. Nelson however stayed calm, while researching the nature of their prison, telling his findings the Avatar. However, just when Nelson had found the solution to the problem, he was murdered by mayor Patterson, who was an agent of the Guardian, with a dagger into the back. The Avatar avenged him on the spot, killing Patterson.
