Ultima VII

Forskis is a wingless gargoyle who serves as Hook's assistant in Ultima VII.

Description[edit]

Little is known about Hook's companion, save that he helped in the executioner's grim work. The Avatar met the gargoyle but once, within the inner sanctum of the Fellowship's stronghold alongside the other members of the organization's inner circle. It was here that Forskis met his end, as the hero, in self-defense, slew those who would enable the Guardian's arrival.

Lore[edit]

Hook is known to be an extremely dangerous killer, a pirate who left his own band of scalliwags to become a freelance assassin for whomever might meet his price. It is believed that he is linked to at least fourteen murders in Britannia. All of the victims had been mutilated with a sharp object believed to be the handiwork of a hook-hand. It is not known where Hook resides, but many believe he has a secret hideout on Buccaneer's Den. His most recent sighting confirmed that he is travelling with a warrior gargoyle named Forskis.

Trivia[edit]

  • Forskis roughly translates to "Strong Tearing" or "Mutilation" in Gargish, perhaps an ominous indicator of his role in assassinations. Danag (if asked about him in the presence of the blackrock cube) will incorrectly cite his name as meaning "henchman."[1]
