Groldek

Groldek is an arch-mage working for Blackthorn in Ultima IX.

His motives are unknown and actually next to nothing is known about him. At orders of Blackthorn he'd invaded the ruins of Serpent's Hold to get the Bell of Courage. He also seems to be rather arrogant, as he thought of the Avatar as overrated. He was proven wrong when the Avatar killed him without much problem.

Trivia
The only REALLY interesting thing about this throw-away character is a major difference in what he looks like in the American and the European version. As shown in the pictures, the difference is astounding.
