I recently learned that there's a guy in Texas who calls himself "Iolo" who is known for making high quality medieval replica crossbows.

I learned a long time ago that with the older Ultima games Richard Garriot modeled all the characters after people he knew. He was also into elaborate fantasy and role playing for a really long time.

Did Richard Garriot know this Texan Iolo, and was that person the basis for Iolo from Ultima? Does anyone know?
