Efram is the provisioner of Britain in Ultima VI.

Description

Efram was a gruff, direct man with little interest in conversation. When the Avatar tried to talk with him, it soon became clear that the provisioner just wanted to know if the hero would buy something, or not. However, his selection was quite good.

The Ultima 6 Project

In The Ultima 6 Project, Efram was much expanded on. He told the hero that he ordinarily stocked plenty of dynamite, but recently he had gotten low because his friend Adan had purchased most of it. Adan had worked a deal with Terri at the Royal Mint to supply them gold from Despise and have the mint waive the ordinary 10% tax charged to exchange for coinage. Efram was worried about his friend, because Adan had not checked in for some time and Efram had recently outfitted another individual headed to the dungeon. At the provisioner's request, the Avatar could head to the dungeon in search of Adan.

Should the hero delve into the depths of Despise, the body of Adan would be discovered, slain by another adventurer, who was a greedy rival for the gold. This rival was killed by the beasts in the dungeon. The Avatar could report this grim news back to the devastated shopkeeper either right away or after allowing Hermione to copy the maps in Adan's journal. In the first case, Hermione would deny the Avatar entry into the guild. Efram, after getting these bad news, needed some time to collect himself.
