Sir Richter

Sir Richter is the blacksmith and second-in-command of Serpent's Hold in the time of Ultima VII. A hard working man, who has come under the influence of the Fellowship.

Sir Richter was at first unfriendly when the Avatar met him in his workshop. Richter soon apologised, explaining he had recently been fooled by the fake Avatar Sullivan. When asked about the other people of the fortress, Richter revealed that he had absolute loyality to Lord John Paul, but had some doubts about Sir Horffe's discipline, although he couldn't pinpoint what felt wrong about him. He also revealed Lady Tory's empathic abilities, and that he had a huge crush on her.

Sir Richter felt that it was their job to give a good example and protect the people of Britannia from the wild beasts. However, when asked about the Fellowship, he only parroted the usual propaganda speech, something that didn't fit with his character.

When finally asked for help in the case of the vandalized statue after talking with Denton, Richter gave the Avatar some bloody stone chips that he'd found at the crime scene, hoping they could be helpful.

Trivia
