Rankin

Rankin is the branch leader for the Fellowship in Moonglow in Ultima VII. He is quite a egotistic man, acting suspicious. He actually becomes a murderer and is revealed to be a dangerous man.

Rankin hadn't the job for too long by Ultima VII, since the branch in Moonglow was relatively new, and had only few members. Rankin however, was very a very self-serving man, as Baleina, the treasure master of the branch, pointed out. Money vanished, and she suspected Rankin behind it. After the Avatar told that Rankin, he wanted the Avatar to deliver a bottle to her. Baleina died when smelling at it! Rankin played the innocent, "wondering" what could have happened to cause this.

But with the Cube, the truth came out: Rankin actually murdered her to erase his tracks, so that no one could find his dirty dealings and theft. It wasn't revealed however, if he was also involved in the Fellowship's true purpose for the Guardian.

Still, for the murder on Baleina, he was most likely arrested after the dissolving of the Fellowship, and put to justice for it, which most likely was death.

Trivia

 * Rankin hasn't many scruples. If the Avatar denies the delivery of the bottle, he kills Baleina in the night, and hides the body, acting innocent and "wondering" where she could be.
