Thariand

Thariand is a librarian in the Lycaeum.

The Avatar met him during Ultima VI. Thariand was really proud of having recieved the blue star of Nicodemus, a true accomplishment for a mage, giving him/her rough directions to where said mage lived near Yew. However, he was not pleased with his progress, remarking that if he could learn all the books in the Lycaeum, he would be the mightiest mage of all Britannia. Thariand was also responsible for the books of the Lycaeum, but his system of keeping the books apart in a catalogue was so complicated, no one understood what the hell it all meant.

Trivia

 * His total nonsense in the book catalogue is probably a jab at the difficult to understand systems in real-life libraries.
