Tholden

Tholden von Bazillius is the mayor of Britain and the chancellor of Lord British in Ultima VI.

An extremely busy administrator, he tried to make time for talking with the Avatar in Ultima VI. He revealed that he longed for his younger days when he was a carefree adventurer known as 'The Werecat of the Winecellar'. Despite this, he was quite pleased to assist Lord British in keeping Britannia running smoothly. He appeared to be living with Kytyn at this time.

Upon being asked, Tholden told the Avatar that he had entrusted the Rune of Compassion to the Bards at the conservatory of Britain. Asked about the mantra, he said that the bards knew that as well.

During the Black Knight's reign of terror in Ultima: Runes of Virtue II, Mayor Tholden was briefly imprisoned within the Cavern of Hatred, until being rescued by one of the Avatar's companions.
