Dufus

Dufus is the apprentice of the sorceress Temme in Farthing.

Meeting him in Ultima V, Dufus spoke of how he was really proud of being her apprentice, hoping to be a mighty mage one day. He mentioned that Temme knew many great spells, something that the Avatar would ask her later about. Also Dufus mentioned that Seggallion had an interesting Spyglass, with which he would study the stars at night, suggesting to ask the lord about it.

Ultima V: Lazarus
Dufus proudly told the Avatar he was apprenticed to the mage Temme in Ultima V: Lazarus, saying he was lucky for the opportunity to live on Farthing and learn from such a talented magician.

The young apprentice enjoyed his life on Farthing, but felt that it was sometimes a lonely existence with no other boy his age around. Still, he was glad to have the company of Quintin, the castle cook, enjoying talking to the man and eating his victuals. Dufus was enraptured by his talented master Temme, and bragged to the hero that she was the greatest mage ever, even once killing a giant rat with a single spell. Dufus also felt the castle's lord, Seggallion, was a good man, and remarked how he had once used the lord's spyglass to gaze at the stars, thus making everything seem much closer.

Dufus would also reveal he was caught in a mess he'd caused with Temme's equipment, noting that he had mistakenly given Temme her notes for the Vanish spell when asked for paper to use, and the spell components had been lost. The Avatar could either help remind Temme of the correct formula for her spell, thus keeping Dufus' secret, or could let Temme know of the young apprentice's mistake.
