Buford T. Allman is a minor character in Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven. He can be encountered in his home in New Sorpigal.
Buford sells membership to the Element guild for 100 gold. The guild will teach players basic air, earth, fire, and water magic for a fee, as well as sell them the spells of the respective schools.
In addition, Buford is the questgiver for the Kill the Queen of the Spiders quest. The town is periodically plagued by giant spiders, and he hopes that killing the queen spider in the abandoned temple will make the problem go away. If the party kills her and brings her heart as proof, he will reward them.
