Hardluck

Hardluck is Empath Abbey's Court Jester in Ultima V.

Upon identifying himself as such to the Avatar, he broke into a short jingle that, if properly analyzed, will reveal that Blackthorn is not the true villain behind the recent events; he, like everyone else, is merely trapped under the control of the Shadowlords, and is the one chosen to do their bidding.

Lore
''Blackthorn once was a good ol' man Upon good principles he would stand But then came the Shadowlords, full of evil Blackthorn's soul they came to steal All at once the Tyranny began All because of Fate's dark hand!''

- Hardluck's song, Ultima V
