Bob the Beggar

Bob the Beggar is a sickly little man who, during the time of Ultima IV, resides in the Poor House.

Description
Should the Stranger speak to the ailing Bob, the supplicant would beg for money that he might have his terminal leg rot treated. Should the Stranger have (or claim to have) no funds to bestow upon the poor beggar, Bob would kindly invite the hero to beg at his side.

Precisely what Bob's leg rot comprised of or how it might be treated, given its terminal status, has never been fully explained.

Trivia

 * In the Nintendo port of Ultima IV, Bob resides in Britain and appears to be uncertain as to precisely what his purported ailment is, claiming in the same breath to have the bubonic plague, leprosy and terminal leg rot.
