Captain Fox is a sailor in Buccaneer's Den in Ultima VI.
Description[edit]
The Avatar met Captain Fox, captain of the Silken Stag, at The Fallen Virgin tavern in Buccaneer's Den enjoying a drink or three. He boasted that his ventures had taken him throughout Britannia, and that in his spare time he took the opportunity to create paintings, a number of which decorated the walls of The Fallen Virgin. When asked about the gargoyles he expressed respect for their hardiness, believing that Captain Johne had descended into the Underworld to seek the gargoyles, but had fled from the first one he encountered.[1]
Trivia[edit]
- Captain Fox is modeled upon Richard Fox, an Amtgard player who, as Nithanalorn Draconis Dignitatis, founded the Grand Duchy of Barad Duin,[2][3] which provided a source of inspiration for many Ultima VI characters via the participation of writer David Shapiro (Dr. Cat) and artist-writer Manda (Penumbra). Fox, an artist in reality, was commissioned by Richard Garriott in the mid-1980s to paint a portrait of the Ultima creator dressed in Lord British garb,[4] and is also said by Candice in Ultima VII to have his works featured at the Royal Museum.[5]
