Salkind

Salkind is Mordea's seneschal and a very slimy and arrogant man.

The Avatar got a first impression of Salkind's character in Ultima VIII during Toran's execution. Speaking to him later, it became pretty clear that Salkind was extremely arrogant and saw everyone other than the Tempest below himself. He was also revealed to sexually harrass Aramina. Some time later he discovered Bentic's research into the royal linage and ordered him executed and Devon arrested, so that Mordea's secret (and his job) would stay safe. After the Avatar had spoken to Devon and asked Salkind, the seneschal told him/her to consult his logbook for information.

This proved to be an error, as the Avatar used the entry about hidden research to search for and read Bentic's conclusions. Just when Devon was about to be executed, the Avatar revealed the truth that Devon was the true Tempest. Salkind slipped when saying that he had locked the book securely away, confirming accidently to everyone that it was true.

He begged for Mordea's forgiveness, but she gave him none, slammed a dagger into his chest and then casted him into the sea to be eaten by Hydros' minions.
