Adan

Adan is a dead miner found in dungeon Despise in The Ultima 6 Project.

Description
Adan was a longtime friend of the Britain provisioner Efram and had, previously to the events of the False Prophet, found a huge vein of gold deep inside the dungeon Despise. Being honest anf humble, Adan resisted the temptation to claim all the gold for himself and instead made a deal with Terri at the Royal Mint. He would supply the gold for coinage and in return the mint would free him from the usual 10% tax for gold exchange. Additionally, Adan did cartographing work for Hermione of the adventurers guild to map all of Despise.

Adan couldn't have known that his activities would arouse the interest of a greedy rival, who came to be interested in the unusal amout of explosives Adan was buying from Efram. So pretending to be an associate of Adan, he tricked Terri in telling him about the gold. The rival made short work of Adan and caused his death in the dungeon - only to find his own death in its depths.

Eventually, the Avatar got from all three people in Britain who had a stake in this the quest to find Adan. After finding his body on the third level of the dungeon, the Avatar brought back the gold to Terri, and the maps to Hermione. Last, the hero gave Efram the bad news about his friend.
