== Story ==
=== {{hota}}{{-wh}} ===
Aided {{Hn|Solmyr|0=}} in attempting to trap {{Hn|Kilgor|0=}} before he was rescued by {{Hn|Dargem|0=}}. According to Dargem, Sir Mullich is no longer allowed to ride in jousting tournaments, so that others would have a chance to win.

{{H4Story|Knight|Mullich is a stoic, disciplined leader who keeps a keen eye on everyone under his command. He is highly respected for his experience and ability to encourage each man to perform beyond even their own expectations. But when he joins his men in a tavern, his quirks become all too apparent after a tankard or two.}}

== Trivia ==
* Introduced in {{ab}} as a replacement for [[Lord Haart]], who is canonically killed at the end of [[Song for the Father]], and also available in {{sod}}.
* Sir Mullich's name and portrait are based on [[David Mullich]], the project manager of the development team in {{homm3}}.<sup>[[Greg Fulton/Fanstratics Newsletters/9#Behemoth Cave Interview (part 2 of 7)|1]]</sup>

== {{hota}} ==
In {{hota}}, {{h|Lord Haart|0=}} replaces Sir Mullich by default. This is for game balance, as Sir Mullich's [[speed|speed bonus]] was considered extremely strong.

Sir Mullich's portrait was touched up. The original one was based on a real-life picture of David Mullich and suffered from poor quantization to the game's palette, causing visible posterisation and color banding.

Unlike creature specialty speed bonus of other heroes, Sir Mullich specialty does not affect the hero's movement points in the adventure map.

{{user commentary|
Sir Mullich is arguably one the best heroes in the game as his specialty gives all creatures +2 to speed, and speed and initiative are key features to win a battle.

In addition, starting with Advanced Leadership gives all creatures +2 morale, further increasing total effective movement and giving extra opportunities to attack more.

If Sir Mullich manages to acquire [[Cape of Velocity]], [[Ring of the Wayfarer]] and [[Necklace of Swiftness]] artifacts, the speed of all his troops is increased by +6. Combined with (expert) [[Haste]] or [[Prayer]] almost any creature can move across the entire battlefield in one combat round.
