Vividos

Vividos is the prime pupil (and only pupil) of the Necromancer of Pagan, Lothian, at the time of Titan's End, living on the Cemetary. In contrast to Lothian, Vividos is a bright and open personality. This reflects in the fact that he was very eager to give Bentic all the needed information about Necromancy for the Book Chronicle of Pagan.

When the Avatar talked with Vividos in Ultima VIII, he revealed that Lothian was dying because of sickness and old age, and he needed to find the Ritual Dagger to send her to Lithos. Sadly Mordea had taken it away and Vividos had no idea how to get it back. The Avatar brought the dagger back to the cemetery just in time for the ceremony, and Lothian passed away, making Vividos the new Necomancer. Vividos took the Avatar as his pupil, seeing his/her great talent, and sent him/her on the journey to the ancient Necromancers and the Lithos.

After this, he ordered the Avatar to inter Lothian so that he/she could become his prime pupil. Then he sent him/her on the journey to the birthplace of Moriens. That done he commented that the Avatar would have years of apprenticeship ahead.

Trivia

 * Vividos actually is a victim of the story cuts in Ultima VIII. Originally, Lithos sent his undead to Tenebrae after the Avatar took the Heart of Earth, and Vividos openly accused him/her of being responsible for it.
