Judge Dryden

Judge Dryden is a corrupt judge and head inquisitor in Yew, who is in league with the Oppression, in Ultima V. If the Avatar isn't careful, he will arrest him/her in no time, since Dryden also gathers confessions, and can see him/her fast as guilty.

The Avatar, after getting a hint from weapon maker Tactus, met Judge Dryden to learn more about the Oppression. Mentioning Tactus was they key to it. Dryden, pleased with this, sent the Avatar to Flain in Skara Brae, to join the Oppression.
