The Merchant From Resident Evil 4

The Life of a Merchant
The Merchant is the very reason Leon S Kennedy has survived his intense adventure going through villages, a castle, and a military established island. Little is known about the Merchants connection with the los illuminados other than the fact that he escaped from them and has already suppressed the parasite within him completely proving he has absolute control over his body. He works in mysterious ways having his own hidden armory of weapons to sell and even hosting a shooting gallery game to see who is skilled enough to win his bottle capped voice acticated action figures. It is said that the Merchant had perished within the islands explosion.

Multi-Universe
The Merchants death has proven to be false as he was saved at the last minute to dragged into the multi-universe in a flash of light, there the Merchant establishes his armory within certain areas out of villain reach to continue to supply weapons to the heroes of this newly formed universe.
