Merchant



The Merchant is a strange hooded man who aids Leon during Resident Evil 4 by selling weapons and healing aids. He has a strong British South Country accent and his reasons for being in the region are unknown. He appears to be infected with Las Plagas because his eyes glow red at times, but yet is one of a select few who aids Leon in the game. How he became a Ganado is not known but he may have been infected with the other villagers but the Plaga would have failed to control of him. According to examining his weaponry, he has enough artillery to "start a small war", another questions how he could get so much weaponry, suggesting a third party was involved with him. Also how he carries all these weapons in his cloak is a mystery. It is also questionable if there is more than one as you can easily kill him. He says things when you buy and sell things, like "Ha, ha, ha, thank you" (when you sell him something), or "Stranger! *laughs* What d'you need that for? You goin' huntin' an elephant?" (if you get The Handcannon). "Stranger... Stranger now that's a gun." (Chicago Typewriter). He is always around a flaming blue torch (except for once, late in the game).
