Zellivan

Zellivan is the mayor of Jhelom in Ultima VI.

Description
Zellivan was a brave and noble warrior who had seen many battles during his life, and now acted as mayor of rowdy Jhelom. He was more than happy to discuss his many exploits with the Avatar, and told the Avatar that many of the brave and boisterous citizens of Jhelom congregated at the Sword and Keg in the evenings to tell their tales of valor. Zellivan confided in the Avatar that he grew up in Britain by the sea, and it was the lure of the waves that eventually brought him to Jhelom. During the most recent earthquake, a large tree branch had fallen upon Jerris, and Zellivan personally helped lift the branch while a guard pulled Jerris out from underneath the branch. This act so impressed Jerris, that he became determined to join 'Zellivan's Stalwarts'.

Zellivan told the Avatar how the tournament he held for the Rune of Valor was won by Nomaan, but that a rat had stolen the rune when Nomaan dropped it after drinking prodigious amounts of ale.

The Ultima 6 Project
In the Ultima 6 Project, the Avatar could learn from Sir Cabirus of the Knights of the Crux Ansata and meantion them to Lord Zellivan. Zellivan offered the Avatar that it was possible for them to join. He wanted as proof of bravery that the Avatar would find the shield of a knight who had been killed in dungeon Destard. After finding it on the second level and returning it, Zellivan allowed the Avatar entry into the order.

Runes of Virtue
In Runes of Virtue II, Zellivan assured the hero that only a blade could harm a cyclops, yet, despite knowing their one weakness, the mayor of Jhelom chose to employ only his bow when confronted by the Black Knight's cyclops. Even though this weapon proved fruitful against the knight's dreaded trolls. The hero eventually recovered Zellivan from deep within the bowels of the Cavern of Cowardice, who rewarded the hero with the Rune of Valor.
