Lady Tory is a very special woman. She is a Druid with empathic powers, who can feel and react on the feelings of the people around her. This is why she works as a counselor in Serpent's Hold. She has one son, Riky. She had been heartbroken when she met the Avatar in Ultima VII. Her son had been abducted by harpies, and she feared to never see him again. The Avatar killed the Harpies at the Shrine of Honor, and returned Riky to Lady Tory, who was eternally grateful for this rescue. She left behind her son, now an orphan.
