Merchant – Resident Evil 4

The most mysterious character in all of gaming, the merchant just wants to sell his wares, even if all the residents of the sleepy European village are infected with a horrifying disease. He pops up frequently along Leon’s journey, always with a healthy supply of guns and ammo for sale. He never removes his face mask or actually helps out in the fray of battle, he just drones on in his raspy voice and keeps Leon well armed.
