Trent

Trent is the dead blacksmith of Skara Brae and the husband of Rowena.

Trent had been a peaceful man, but when Horance's dead killed Rowena while trying to bring her to Horance, he became mad with anger. Hating Horance with his whole heart, he tried at Mordra's orders to finish the Soul Cage, but the fire killed him. However, he didn't even notice that he was dead now, continuing to work on the cage in his hate, without ever making progress because of his hate.

Meeting him in Ultima VII, Trent was very rude to the Avatar while telling him/her the story of how Rowena had been abducted and killed by Horance's creatures. He was unable to be of any help, until the Avatar showed him Rowena's ring. This finally broke the spell of hate and the relief that Rowena still loved him gave him new hope. With the Avatar's help (he/she brought Trent a metal bar) he finally finished the cage, doing his part for the Liche's destruction.

Later, after the Liche was destroyed, the Avatar returned Rowena to Trent. He and Rowena after that never wanted to part again.

So it was only consequential that he denied the final sacrifice. When the Well of Souls was later destroyed, his soul escaped to the void, finally at peace.
