King of the White Dragon

The King of the White Dragon once was the ruler of half of what now is the Serpent Isle.

The King's daughter Beatrix was Shamino's love, but after he was unable to return due to the world being thundered apart, Beatrix died of a broken heart shortly after Ultima I. Broken by grief over her death, the King went mad, and in the end murdered everyone in his castle. The reputation of his ghost was so horrible, the Goblins evaded the Castle of the White Dragon at all cost because of fear.

In Ultima VII/2, when the Avatar tried to enter the castle, the mad ghost appeared, trying to kill him/her. After a hard battle, the King of the White Dragon was finally released from his neverending madness.

Trivia

 * The King can be met in Ultima I, but thanks to the primitive game mechanics, he had no real dialogue.
 * The states of his madness and the bloody slaughter can be read in books in his castle.
