Borne is the commander of the Prison Tower on Tarna, and a really nervous Goblin. Borne had gotten strict orders from the Guardian to keep the Blackrock Gem safe while waiting for an appointed inquisitor to arrive to interrogate Bishop. Borne was also under pressure from Mors Gotha to produce more Fraznium gauntlets. However, when the Avatar spoke to him in Ultima Underworld II, he made the fatal error of confusing the Avatar with the inquisitor. Thus Borne called the Avatar as Lorca Batan, name of the actual inquisitor. When Garg was freed, Borne was killed.
