Filbercio

Filbercio is the Mage Lord of Moonshade. A very complex person, he is both cruel and a weakling at the same time.

During his whole life, even before becoming the Mage Lord, Filbercio had lots of affairs with many women -one of the Rotoluncia- something that became even worse once he had risen into his place of power. No one dared to say anything against him, since everyone that crossed him was thrown into the Mountains of Freedom.

Prior to Ultima VII/2, Filbercio had dropped Rotoluncia -with whom he'd been back together for some time- as his mistress, to instead favor Frigidazzi. A move that earned him Rotoluncia's anger. During that time he also was responsible for the banishment of the mage Ensorcio and mere days before the Avatar arrived, he'd Stefano thrown into the Mountains of Freedom after he'd crossed him one time too often.

The Avatar met him during a formal dinner, which got busted when first Rotoluncia tried to attack the Avatar and then Pothos had to give him the bad news of no more Blood Moss being available, news which Filbercio acknowledged with much anger.

The Avatar learned much more about him after Rotoluncia had abducted one of the companions. While Filbercio gave the Avatar the hint to search Rotoluncia's mansion, his growing whining on how no one seemed to appreciate his hard work and his casual mentioning of his many affairs shed some light on his character, before he gave permission to search the mansion. Old letters found there revealed him to also have a jealously problem and being a whiner (he asked Rotoluncia to come back to him).

After the search failed, he directed the Avatar to the island retreat. Filbercio revealed the original reason for the retreat, although he made it sound like it was solely Rotoluncia's idea, while the letters spoke a different language. His skitting around the issue what exactly they did there and his retreat showed him to be weak and insecure under his tough-man exterior. Later, Fibercio was not amused when catching the Avatar with Frigidazzi and, after a mock trial, banished the hero to the Mountains of Freedom.

Filbercio was last seen alive in his dreams, where he was tortured by Ensorcio. On that occassion, he revealed a horrible fear of the man. Days later, Shamino the Anarch invaded Moonshade and usurped Filbercio's position by killing him.
