Gate Guard (Serpent's Hold)

Two guards stand watch over the gates to Serpent's Hold during Ultima IV.

Description
The sentries at Serpent's Hold's gates were huge hulking men, who ardently followed their duty to guard, watch and protect their castle. They would ask the Stranger if they had come there to learn of the Principle of Courage and would welcome the hero to the keep should the Stranger reply that they were. Should the Stranger claim otherwise, they would jokingly say that the hero should become a guard themselves.

Trivia

 * In the Nintendo remake of Ultima IV, a gate guard can be identified with a ranger in the training room, who similarly asks the Companions if they had come there to learn Courage. A valiant aswer would improve the virtues of Valor, Spirituality and Humility, but the wrong answer would reduce them.
