Hofa

Hofa is a character unique to the Super Nintendo port of  Ultima VII. He is a guard at the House of Games in Buccaneer's Den, protecting the door which leads to Hook's quarters.

Description
Hofa would have little to say to the Avatar until the hero possessed the blackrock cube, whereupon the normally tight-lipped guard would be coerced by the artifact's powers to allow the hero passage into Hook's chambers.

Trivia

 * Hofa's portrait is identical to that of a generic guard from the PC version of  Ultima VII.
