Lieutenant Vittek

Lieutenant Vittek is an unseen character in Ultima VIII referenced only via his written correspondence with Mordea, in which the two discuss a misplaced artifact known as the Skull of Quakes (evidently having been entrusted to the lieutenant). Although the skull is later recovered by the Avatar from the Shrine of the Ancient Ones, Vittek's fate subsequent to this exchange of messages is unclear.

Vittek to Mordea
''Most Honorable Lady Mordea, I have heard that the Skull of Quakes has been removed from the Upper Catacombs. I had believed that it would be safe within the Catacombs, for it is the only place it is used. Pray tell me, my Lady, what do you suggest I do about this situation? I have heard rumors that it presently may be within the Shrine, but I have grave doubts about it. I await your swift answer and am assured of your graciousness in this matter.''

Mordea's Reply
''Lieutenant Vittek- See that you meet me at the Docks as soon as you can. I have a solution to the missing Skull of Quakes dilemma.''

-Mordea

Trivia

 * Lieutenant Vittek is named after Ultima VII Part Two and Ultima VIII developer Mark Vittek, who is also honored with a gravestone in the cemetery alongside those of his fellow team members (a recurring Easter egg in the series, beginning with Ultima V).
