Iolo FitzOwen [yoh-loh] is a recurring character. He first appears in Ultima I, and is one of the companions of the Avatar, and a native of Earth. Iolo is well known both for his talents as a bard and as a bowyer. He is also the husband of Gwenno (a practiced tinker, bard and scholar) with whom he composed the popular ballad, "Stones" —a reminiscence of Stonehenge which is known to be among the favorites of Lord British.
