Lord Zhelkas (meaning "Iron Helm") is the ruling King of the Gargoyle population located on Serpent Isle in Ultima VII Part Two. The Avatar met him at the eastern drawbridge of Furnace when trying to find the way back to the mainland. Lord Zhelkas was mistrustful against humans, since the knights of Monitor were actively hunting them, but had been told by the Great Earth Serpent (although he didn't know that) to trust the Avatar and help. He went on to bemoan that the knights only wanted to spill their blood and had no desire to let them live in peace.
