This article is about a character from Ultima VII. For the Ultima VI character, see Mole (U6).


Mole is a retired pirate living on Buccaneer's Den in Ultima VII.

Description[edit]

Mole was given his name due to the fact his mother birthed him in a cave, although he would claim there was a longer story behind these circumstances. For a sizable portion of his life thereafter, he lived as a pirate in the company of Blacktooth, sharing treasure, misfortune, and wenches, as the two of them raided their way across the Britannian seas. Around the time of the Avatar's return, however, the middle-aged sailor had settled into a life on land and joined the Fellowship, a move that put him at odds with his former brother in arms.[1]

Speaking to Mole, the Avatar could learn that the former pirate was embittered over his falling out with Blacktooth, and that he had regarded the man much more highly than he did his current comrades in the Fellowship. He seemed unaware that "old Blackie" missed him deeply as well and that his former companion genuinely desired that they reconcile. Should the hero discover his former shipmate's feelings and relay them to Mole, the ex-pirate would be happily surprised and vow to soon make amends with Blacktooth.[2][3]

Lore[edit]

I would say most of them here on the island have become, what do they call it, "enlightened." Those who do not belong offer no hassle. Well, Blacktooth does. He was once partner to Mole, but that was before Mole joined The Fellowship. I expect that has something to do with it.
