Peg Leg Joe

Peg-leg Joe is a man who'd lost one of his legs, therefore being forced to use a cane.

Prior to Ultima IX, mayor Aidon's policy meant that he was expelled from Britain and had to live in the swamp-flooded Paws. However, despite being a cripple, Peg-leg Joe had learned how to use his cane as a weapon, a secret he was willing to share with the Avatar for a small donation, when he visited Paws.

Later, when mayor Aidon came to Paws in search of his daughter Maribeth, he was attacked by a giant Rat, but was saved by Peg-leg Joe, who killed the rat with his cane. Being saved by the very same cripple his policies had declared useless made Aidon, together with the horrible conditions, re-think his policy.
