Gwillim

Gwillim is a herdsman on Pagan living in Herdsman's Valley.

The Avatar met him in Ultima VIII after having heard about a supposed ghost in the Valley from Orlok. At first they spoke of his job, his son Cyrrus, and his wife Corinth. When the Avatar mentioned the ghost, Gwillim reacted poorly, calling the whole thing a sham ending their conversation.

Only after the Avatar had talked with Corinth about the ghost did Gwillim reveal his reasons for being so aggressive. His brother had actually died in an encounter with the ghost. Gwillim tried to dissuade the Avatar from seeking the ghost, but revealed the cave location, and hinted that the seemingly mad fisherwoman Kilandra, who was said to talk to fish, should know more.

Gwillim also mentions having previously visited the plateau, suggesting an alternative route to Mythran's home than the ghoul-infested cavern the Avatar employed, or perhaps the meek sheperd was more powerful than he pretended.
