Mythran

Mythran is a wise scholar and mage. He lives within the Ether, around the world of Pagan. Thaumaturgy is his chosen field of magic.

The people of Tenebrae always wondered what the old man actually did on the Plateau. This mystic atmosphere was only helped by his extradimensional house in the Ethereal Void. Mythran helped Bentic to write the passages about magic in the Chronicle of Pagan, also adding the story of Ultima VII to the part about Britannia.

In Ultima VIII the Avatar visited him in his house. Getting many good information from him, he/she received a Recall Item and the offer to learn Thaumaturgy, the magic of the ether, from him. Mythran also sold the Avatar a special magic scroll. Mythran taught the Avatar everything he could, before being shown the Tongue of Flames. Knowing that this was the solution to leaving Pagan, he taught the Avatar the needed spell.

Trivia

 * In the German translation of Ultima VIII, Mythran is translated as "Mythian".
 * Since Shaana visits him regularly (obviously by the way of teleporting), it is speculated what her connection to him is. Either his daughter, or a learner of magic. It has been hinted she's his grand-daughter
 * The Zealan Ceremony Shield in his house hints that he is a Zealan.
 * Mythran will give the Avatar a red potion every day, if asked.
 * Attacking him will result in a instant death (And Mythran says he hates to do that, even feel "what a pity").
