Ansikart

Ansikart is a winged gargoyle running a tavern in Vesper during Ultima VII.

Description
Ansikart (Anti-Dry-Master in gargish) was one of the few persons in Vesper who seemed to escape its suffocating aura of racist hatred, and perhaps it was because of this quality that he had won out over the despondent Aurvidelem as leader of the gargishcommunity. While he despaired at the intolerance mankind chose to visit on his people, he did not appear to return it, and praised those such as  Lap-Lem who managed to return it with patience and understanding.

Despite having such a comparatively enlightened viewpoint when contrasted with most Vesperians, Ansikart admitted the the tensions of the segregated town had worn heavily on many gargoyles, and would describe how Aurvidlem had sunk into depression, and how the brothers Anmanivas and Foranamo had become so incensed that the populace had banned them from crossing into human half of the settlement. He would also speak briefly about the sage Wis Sur, who had been stripped of his sanity by the seeming "death of magic."

Should the hero end up killing Anmanivas and his brother in self-defense, Ansikart would mourn their loss, lamenting that an incident such as this had been long in coming.
