Xela

Xela is a fighter in Serpent's Hold in Ultima V: Lazarus.

A Knight of the Order of the Silver Serpent, Xela helped protect Serpent's Hold from Blackthorn's blockade along with her partner Gabrienne. Xela was vehemently opposed to the Oppression, and believed Gardner's vision that someday Lord British would return as the ruler of Britannia. A proud member of the Order of the Silver Serpent, Xela told the hero how in the past her compatriots had roamed Britannia righting wrongs, but now many had returned to the Keep to protect it from Blackthorn's advances, and was determined to maintain the bastion of Courage with her life.

Xela admitted she was not the easiest person to get to know, and most people did not like her when they did, but had been traveling with Gabrienne for a number of years, and joked that she had been unable to shake her, recommending the hero ask Gabrienne about her Avatar stories. The warrior was unwilling to talk about her past, only that she wished to redeem herself for past sins, and was unable to return home.
