Transcript: Jude

Jude is a man living in the Poor House of Minoc during Ultima IV.

Description[edit]

Jude was a ragged shadow of a man, who desperately sought peace for having used the evil Skull of Mondain. Should the Stranger ask him about his sins, Jude would initially refuse to speak of his crime, although once the hero learned more of the skull from the Cap'n of Buccaneer's Den, more direct inquiries could be made of Jude. Eventually, Jude would confess to having invoked the powers of the skull, and would beg the hero to find and destroy the damnable artifact, revealing its location at P'F" M'F," once the Stranger agreed to cast it into the Abyss.[1]

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Nintendo remake of Ultima IV (where most character names were omitted and dialogue was significantly modified), Jude can be identified with the tinker in the same building. He apparently swapped role with Ragnar: instead of revealing the skull's whereabouts, he hints at part of its effect.[2]
