Snaz

Snaz is a beggar living on the streets of Britain. However, despite the fact that his life had led to such a place, he tries to take it with humor and get money by telling jokes, instead of begging.

Snaz didn't talk much about his past when found on the streets in Ultima VII, only cryptically hinting that life had been unfair to him by becoming a poor orphan in his childhood. He offered the Avatar to tell him/her jokes for one gold piece each. He had quite a number of different things to joke about: the Fellowship, Lord British, Weston, Mages, Sullivan and Gold Coins.

Surprisingly, he gave the Avatar, after telling the joke, some rather interesting insights on each of these things, hinting that he was way smarter than he let on. The only one with no clue was the gold joke, where he simply dropped the coin on the ground to create a sound, until the Avatar would stop paying him -exactly what he actually wanted to accomplish- and then declaring that he/she had won insight.
