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 villian behind the recent events, but as another that is trapped like everyone else under the control of the Shadowlords and the chosen one 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
