Transcript: Leof

Leof is the farm hand of Vigil in North Britanny during the events of Ultima V.

Description[edit]

At first when meeting him on the fields, Leof was of little help, only talking about his crops.

However, after talking with Thentis, the Avatar met the Resistance cell at midnight at the well, and after telling Leof the password, he became very helpful and told the Avatar that the Shadowlords had to have a focus of power. He advised the Avatar to seek Sir Sean in the Lycaeum and ask him about the keep of Stonegate.[1]

Trivia[edit]

  • Leof mistakenly states that the Lycaeum is on Dagger Isle.

Ultima V: Lazarus[edit]


This is an Ultima V: Lazarus-related article or section. The information within may not apply to Ultima V or other Ultima games.


When the Avatar first met Leof in Ultima V: Lazarus, the farmer pretended to be a simple, kind man, who spoke well of his companions Vigil, Thentis, and Joshua. He claimed to understand little when the Avatar used the Resistance password 'DAWN'. Leof later proved himself to be a shrewd and astute man who merely played the fool, when the Avatar met him at the North Britanny well at midnight.[2]

When the Avatar reached the well at midnight, the hero was inducted into the Britanny North Resistance branch by Vigil,[3] who along with her companions, recalled the tale of the their encounter with the Shadowlords near Stonegate.[4][5] They told the Avatar how they met Sir Sean of the Lycaeum on the shores of Lost Hope Bay. Sir Sean spoke of how he encountered the daemon Balinor guarding the entrance of Stonegate, and was unable to overcome the creature. Vigil and her companions sought to escort Sir Sean to Stonegate, but on the way were overcome by a feeling of darkness, and shortly after this met with Sutek the mage. Sutek was fleeing Stonegate, closely followed by the Shadowlords. Thentis, Leof, and Joshua chose to try to waylay the Shadowlords while the remaining adventurers fled, but were unsuccessful. The Shadowlords ignored the three men and attacked the fleeing group, with only Sutek, Sir Sean, and Vigil surviving the encounter. After this tale, Thentis interrupted Vigil to tell the Avatar that Sutek had had been in contact with him, and the mage had discovered how to slay the Shadowlords. Sutek asked for the Avatar to meet him on a small island to the south of New Magincia.

After this tale, if the Avatar talked to Vigil's companions, they all told the hero that their leader had been shaken by her experience with the Shadowlords, and was no longer as active against the Oppression, although they all still trusted Vigil's abilities. The hero could choose to waylay this information to Vigil, inspiring her to take an active role against Blackthorn once again.
