Heywood is a tall ghost who haunts the ruins of old Magincia during the time of Ultima IV.
Description[edit]
Heywood, like many of the restless dead in Magincia, would counsel the Stranger to avoid Pride, claiming that shame forever followed it. Should the hero ask the apparition about the mantra of Humility, as advised by Casperin, the spirit would recommend to seek out Faultless, that the mantra of Pride might first be learned. Heywood would then ask if the Stranger was proud, and would rebuke the hero should the response prove insufficiently humble.[1]
The soul of Heywood was eventually laid to rest upon the fallen city's resettlement, commemorated in New Magincia's cemetery with a gravestone the returned Avatar could find in Ultima V.
Trivia[edit]
- Answering Heywood's question "Art thou proud?" affirmatively will cost the player five points of Humility. Answering it negatively will result in a gain of five points of Humility.
- Heywood loosely quotes the Book of Proverbs when it claims that "Pride goeth before, shame cometh after!"
- In the Nintendo remake of Ultima IV (Japanese original), Heywood can be identified as a ghost in the nearby building. This character was removed in the English localization.
