So... Who exactly is The Merchant.

[Potassium Protector]

I know that I could look at the Wiki but I wanted to get the general idea from the community first before I were to go searching on my own. Let me hear what you think!

[LXT]

I think it’s that boulder punching guy.

Not sure in this one but in the OG he's Luis Serra's grandfather. There's an obscure note in the OG about it that is hard to find which has been cut from the remake.

Lot of things have been cut, some stuff to be sold as DLC like Separate ways.

I guess in this case it doesn't matter because it was just one note - most likely they forgot about it .

But yeah, in the OG at least he is Luis grandfather.

Where at in the 2005 version is the note.

Pretty sure its in the shed where you get the first medallions. There's a note written by Luis about his grandfather smuggling weapons using secret underground tunnels to get around. (it doesn't explain how he make it to Rambo Island) but it says there's all these secret tunnels Ramon and Saddler don't know about.

It's one of those - blink and you miss it - moments but the note is definitely in there somewhere.

Not necessarily smuggling; the note written by the Village Chief says that Luis' grandfather "used to hunt in this region," and that Luis is likely evading Los Illuminados by using the secret passages used by his grandfather.

It's also sadly one of those rather brilliant Easter Eggs/theories that got cut out of the Remake lore-wise, as we're told in this game that Luis' grandfather was burned in his house (the implication being that he had been infected by Las Plagas after failing to kill an infected wolf out in the wild).

It's been years since I found it - not since the Game Cube actually I just haven't bothered with all the notes again when it came out on Wii and PC.

In the OG he has those red eyes so he could be a zombie too I guess. In the new one they give him that purple anti-zombie lamp to explain why he doesn't get attacked.

It was kinda funny finding it in the OG because when he used to wander off (never explained in the OG) I just assumed he was going to get bullets from his grandfather LOL.
