Boydon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boydon was a character in the computer game Ultima VII Part II: Serpent Isle.

Originally an assistant to the wizard Erstam, Boydon's head and other body parts were magically removed in one of Erstam's experiments. As a mission in the game, the Avatar must teleport to an island to obtain a phoenix egg, which is the catalyst of the experiment to rejoin body parts into a single Frankenstein-like being.

The player may choose to have Boydon join the party, and Erstam will grant permission. Other characters will complain of the smell. Boydon is an extremely strong character, however if killed, he cannot be resurrected. His living disembodied head will then continue to converse with the Avatar.

If the Avatar wishes to keep Boydon during the quest to find Batlin, it's best to leave him right after Selena and his guards are killed, coming back for him later. If kept in the party when Batlin is found, his body will be destroyed.
