Braccus is one of the Xenkan Monks of the Serpent Isle and mainly responsible for the gardens. He appears in Ultima VII Part Two.
Description[edit]
Many of the other monks of the island thought of Braccus as a strange eccentric - even by their standards - but his knowledge of plants was unmatched. Even Thoxa mentioned this in her notes. Braccus was present on Monk Isle, when the Avatar met him. Even though he spoke of various spiritual things, he told the Avatar that the Xenka's prophecies were not his to talk about. He even claimed that he was above such a thing like a name.
However, he did come in handy in the Avatar's quest for fresh Mandrake Root for Fedabiblio in order to get a replacement spellbook, as it was Braccus who explained where to find fresh ones and he always watched the salt tides. Talking later to him revealed that the tides were right and the Avatar could harvest the roots from the swamp north of the monastery. Additionally, Braccus offered the Avatar his reserves of dried roots. While they were of no worth to Fedabiblio, they were perfect for spellcasting.
Lore[edit]
| “ | And dear Braccus - several on the isle think he's crazy, but I found his company charming and his knowledge of the local plants quite fascinating. He told me about the berry bush on the isle. Its berries are very nutritious and are good to take on long trips. I hope that I shall see them all again some day but I know that the journey ahead of me is dangerous. – from Balancing the Scales (Ultima VII Part Two)

Trivia[edit]
- Braccus' visage is that of Ultima VII Part Two programmer, Jeff Wilson. Wilson also appears in Ultima VII as the actor, Jesse.
- Since Braccus won't tell his name, it can only be discovered indirectly.
- Braccus confuses his and Miggims home. The dried Mandrake Roots Braccus offers the Avatar are actually stored in Miggim's hut rather than in Braccus' home.
