Lord Robert

Lord Robert is a stately baron who, during the time of Ultima IV, ruled Empath Abbey with his wife, Lady Marcy.

Description
Lord Robert could be found within the court of the Abbey alongside his lady, and would direct questions regarding his domain and its devotion to Love to her, if asked. Should the Stranger have been advised by Brother Zair to seek out Robert and the other leaders of the three keeps that the hero might learn the Word of Passage, they could ask the castellan and he would reveal one of the word's three syllables - 'amo.'

Trivia

 * Lord Robert's counterpart in reality is likely Robert Garriott, Richard Garriott's older brother.
 * In the alleged journal of the Avatar discovered by historians Robert de Main and Carlotta Stein, Lord Robert is described as being an older man with a careworn visage projecting an innate sense of kindness. The Stranger remarks that the Lord has an appearance reminiscent of Lord British - perhaps referencing Lord Robert's basis on Richard Garriott's real world sibling.
