Alastor Gordon

Alastor Gordon, commonly known by his alias, Lord Whitsaber, is the honorable mayor of Trinsic in Ultima VI and formerly one of the ten pirates of Hawkins.

Description
With dark origins as first mate to the dreaded pirate Hawkins, Alastor Gordon sought the life of an honest man after the death of his captain, eventually moving to Trinsic and adopting the pseudonym Whitsaber. There, after many years, he rose to the office of mayor, helping to administrate the daily affairs of the walled city. Upon their meeting amidst the Gargish incursion on Britannia, Lord Whitsaber graciously provided the Avatar with the mantra of Honor, as well as pointed the hero to the corresponding rune, which sat atop a pedestal in the center of the city.

While in search of Hawkins' treasure map, the Avatar learned about Whitsaber's buccaneer past from Sandy, a local cook and himself a former associate of the notorious corsair. Confronted with his sins, Whitsaber begged the Avatar to keep this matter silent, and after doing so, granted the hero his piece of the treasure map.

Runes of Virtue II
During Runes of Virtue II, Lord Whitsaber is kidnapped by the Black Knight and imprisoned within the Cavern of Dishonor. Upon being returned to his home, the mayor rewards the hero with the Rune of Honor.

The Ultima 6 Project
In The Ultima 6 Project, Lord Whitsaber readily agreed to Baden's plan to free the city from the Gargoyle threat. He told the hero to inform all townsfolk about the plan before putting it into action.

Trivia

 * As with some of his past crewmates, Alastor Gordon appears to be the satirical namesake of a senior employee at Electronic Arts during the game's development—in this case, chief creative officer William "Bing" Gordon.
 * In Ultima VII, there is a street in Trinsic named Whitsaber Road, after the former mayor.
