Lord Thibris

Lord Thibris is a retired soldier of Atarka and the nominal ruler of Killorn Keep.

In his time as active soldier, Thibris was quite dangerous. Indeed, it was him who single-handedly won the campaign on Rhiannon by killing the leader Praecor Loth with a single, well placed arrow. However, even Thibris grew older and when his active time as a soldier came to an end, fate was less kind to him. Thibris was proclaimed the ruler of Killorn Keep, but this post had no power at all. He basically was just there as the " nice story-telling uncle", who would entertain any visitors and had little to say in the administration of the castle.

Meeting him in Ultima Underworld II, the Avatar listened to Lord Thibris' story of the Loth campaign and got many hints about the Tomb of Praecor Loth and the mighty Horn of Praecor Loth hidden within it (for example, Thirbis talked about the eight map parts). Lord Thibris also mentioned the Guardian's interest in the Horn, which made the Avatar realise that he/she should better secure it.

When the Avatar later killed Relk in combat, Lord Thibris wrote it off as a mere accident.

Trivia

 * "Lord Thibris" is of course an anagram of "Lord British", since Thibris is British's twisted mirror-image.
 * Interesting: Thibris looks a lot like the Lord British of Ultima IX.
