Captain Johne

Captain Johne is a captain and a very powerful mage at the same time.

His ship, the Arart, was swallowed by a whirlpool prior to Ultima V, and he was partly responsible for the freeing of the Shadowlords, because driven nearly insane by the shards, he murdered his friends with them, and from their blood, the Shadowlords arose, leaving him alive with his guilt. When the Avatar found him in the Underworld, he was all to eager to join to redeem himself and destroy the Shadowlords.

By Ultima VI, Johne had build a house down in Hythloth, studying the Gargoyles and teaching Beh Lem English. He had sent the Silver Tablet to Mariah so that the humans could understand the motivation of the Gargoyles, but had no idea what actually happened to it. John begged the Avatar to help the Gargoyles, and thaught him/her their language.

What happened to him after that, is unknown.

Trivia

 * Johne is really powerful in Ultima V, so it is a good idea to find him under the dungeon Despise.
