Gwillim

Gwillim is a herdman on Pagan, living in Herdman's Valley. He's married to Corinth and the father of Cyrrus.

The Avatar met her in Ultima VIII after already having heard about a supposed ghost in the Valley from Orlock. At first they spoke of various things, like his job, his son Cyrrus and his wife Corinth, before the Avatar mentioned the ghost. However, Gwillim reacted rather bad. He called the whole thing a sham, before leaving.

Only after having talked with Corinth about it, did Gwillim reveal his reasons for being so agressive. His brother had actually died when encountering the ghost. Seeing that he couldn't get it out of the Avatar's head to find the ghost, Gwillim told him/her where the cave was and gave a hint that the seemingly man fishewoman Kilandra, who is said to talk to the fishes, should know more about the whole thing.

The Avatar then better left the disturbed man in peace to his herding of the Torax.
