Desbet

Desbet is a wingless gargoyle and the secretary and bodyguard of the current king of the gargoyles, Vasagralem, in Ultima IX.

Prior to Ultima IX, he and Vasagralem went into exile, after the Gargish race fell to pride and moved to an Underwater City. Later, his master sent him out to find the thief of the purple codex lens, a task in which he seemed to have succeeded, as the lens was later found in Vasagralem's possession.

The Avatar encounters him in Yew after the destruction of the underwater city and Raven's  trial and imprisonment in Dungeon Wrong. He blames the Avatar for having fulfilled his role as The False Prophet with the destruction of his people. When shown the queen-egg, he realizes that there was still hope for his kind, and allows the Avatar to speak to Vasagralem.

 * Desbet translates roughly to "Little Fall" or perhaps "A Little Way Down" in Gargish.
