 While producer David Mullich (qv) was away on vacation, the team  got hold a photo of Mullich wearing a floppy medieval hat that had  be taken for use in a  _Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor (1999) (VG)_ (qv) cut  scene, and inserted it into HOMM3 as a new hero named "Sir Mullich"  with the following description: "Generally stoic, Sir Mullich is  prone to spasmodic fits of uncoordinated excitement believed to  intimidate his troops into working faster." When Mullich returned to  work and discovered this in the game, he decided to let it stay.
