Ben (U6)

Big Ben is a lumberjack in Yew in Ultima VI.

Big Ben was a giant of a man whom the Avatar met just outside of Yew. In the past, Ben entered and won a wood chopping contest sponsored by Lord British. After his victory, Lord British tried to recruit Ben into the military, but Ben refused to join. When the Avatar met Ben, Ben was worried that Lord British would send men to try to force him into the military.

Ben sold the Avatar a freshly cut yew log, that the Avatar used to create a set of panpipes.
