(RL counterpart: Chuck Bueche)

Lord British' court jester who appears in some parts of Ultima series (at least U4, U6 and U7BG, I'm not sure of other parts and I've played less of them...).

He has a rather strange sense of humor. ("What did the duck say to the Avatar? 'Ankh Ankh!'" (U6))

However, he serves as the source of important hints. Of course, sometimes the clues can not be easily extracted from him - threats of violence against his person are not enough to make this jester serious. For example, in Ultima VII, getting an important hint from him requires playing "the Game", which seems to have an entirely backwards logic - and the hint comes on a scroll that describes how to keep the Avatar occupied for hours and hours and...

I'd say he's an amusing character... if he happens to be talking to someone else.

First made in 1921, Chuckles are a colorful, sugared jelly candy. They're fat free and come in five flavors: Cherry, Orange, Lemon, Lime and Black Licorice. Chuckles are Kosher and contain corn syrup, sugar, modified food starch, natural and artificial flavorings, and artificial colorings (includes Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 40, and Blue 1).

Originally, Chuckles were manufactured by Hershey Foods Corporation and in June, 2002 Hershey put Chuckles up for sale along with some of its other non-chocolate candies. Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. puchased Chuckles along with a number of other non-chocolate confections and has incorporated it into its product lines.
