Pthuner
Pthuner is a mysterious entity that comes from an unknown plane. He is not a hostile entity in the slightest, and although he appears to be human or metahuman, he is the furthest thing from it. He is a friendly creature whose only interest is selling people goods that they might not otherwise be able to get his hands on. Typically, he seeks out travelers, seeking to give them the items they need to progress onward in their journey. He possesses a unique knowledge of the dangers of the area around them, and he appears out of nowhere, randomly, looking to sell the goods he has to offer.
He is an honest merchant, and one that doesn't have high prices. His prices are often extremely fair, if not a price that would make one feel like the deal was a "steal" rather than an actual purchase. The items that he will sell to the traveler(s) come from his own pocket dimension, where he seems to have limitless possibilities. It is unknown what Pthuner does when he is not present, however he seems to have just the right gear for those who ask. His approach to the business is simple:
Ask for what you're potentially looking for, and he will see if he can meet, if not exceed that standard. Often times, he sells equipment or attire that possesses some sort of unique attribute, rarely with a negative one due to his honesty. He doesn't like selling curses to travelers who he views could potentially be tired and desperately need help. He has a good judgement, however, on the travelers that have ill intentions, who he will sell items that could harm the user, but this is uncommon. He appears unbiased, acting only on the fact that he could lose business if he let some travelers with malice pass on with equipment that will make them stronger.
Because he is friendly, nobody knows if he has any real powers other than extraplanar traveling. He has never engaged, and never will, engage in combat. He typically appears within buildings or caves or other places of refuge for travelers, making it convenient and less likely to leave them at the threat of being attacked while they do business.
Should you encounter the random merchant, you would be one of the lucky ones, or you must be on a great task that he has acknowledged. He does not appear for everybody, adding to his enigmatic behavior.
