Menion

Menion is a trainer and a weaponsmith in Serpent's Hold during Ultima VII.

Description
Menion was a quiet man, and after becoming the castle's trainer he had become somewhat aloof from the other denizens of the keep, withdrawing from his former friend and sparring partner, Sir Pendaran. A strong and well muscled fighter, Menion tried to emphasize physical strength and accuracy in combat to his students, and worked to design and forge weapons which could withstand the rigors of his techniques.
