![]() The Skull of Mondain, when wielded, had the power to instantly destroy all enemies on the battlefield, but at great sacrifice to the bearer's karma. However there was no public knowledge of the other two until they revealed themselves to the world, unleashing their own reigns of terror in Ultima II and Ultima III, respectively. These three together formed what became known as the Triad of Evil. This unholy union would later result in the birth of their progeny, the entity Exodus. Perhaps more than any other villain in the land, Mondain's death had a number of lasting impacts upon Sosaria.ĭuring his reign of terror, Mondain had taken the enchantress Minax as an apprentice and consort. He remained there until the Stranger from Another World (later to be known as the Avatar) located a time machine, traveled back in time, shattered the black gem, and ultimately defeated the sorcerer. To protect himself from assault, Mondain secreted away one thousand years into Sosaria's past and established his stronghold there, rendering himself effectively invincible. Using his newfound powers Mondain released his wrath upon the land, allying himself with all manner of evil beings and setting them upon the good folk of Sosaria. The dark magics now woven into this black gem helped ensure Mondain's desire to live forever, thus earning it the name the Gem of Immortality. Mondain turned the magic in the gem upon itself, twisting it into an evil artifact of darkness. Once he imparted these plans upon his son, Mondain instead slew his father in his sleep and stole from him a magical ruby gem that harnessed the power of the sun. His father, a powerful and well respected wizard, witnessed this behaviour and planned to send him away to be educated in virtue. He found solace in hunting animals solely as a means of confirming his power over life and death. As a young boy, Mondain was often subject to fits of rage and depression. Mondain was the second son of the wizard and king, Wolfgang.
