Captain Elad

Captain Elad is a sailor in Buccaneer's Den in Ultima VI.

When the Avatar met Captain Elad at the 'Fallen Virgin' tavern, Elad was a broken man who was trying to come to terms with the loss of his ship the 'Theodosia Marie'. Captain Elad told the Avatar that he had been sailing off the coast of Bordermarch, when a large earthquake struck the island, causing it to sink beneath the waves. Captain Elad was one of the few men lucky enough to escape the whirlpool that formed when the island sank, dragging the 'Theodosia Maria' under. The event so scarred Elad that he had claimed to have stopped drinking, although the Avatar thought he saw Elad sometimes taking a sip of ale out of the corner of his eye. He seemed determined to become a more honest person after his misfortune, so he asked the Avatar for the mantra of honesty, so he could pray at the Shrine of Honesty.
