Suddenly he starts to move quicker, as if looking for something in his pockets. I can only see my own faint reflection in the semi-transparent visor of his helmet. The man takes a step in my direction and pats me on the shoulder.


The Protagonist will gain reputation with him for each survived night, depending on the Hideout (later Hideouts give more Reputation), which can be used to buy items from him. It is possible however, for him to appear on the morning of day 1, if the protagonist visits the Wolf's Camp (Dry Meadow) and speaks to the Wolfman on day 1. The Trader will appear at the Protagonist's Hideout every morning, beginning on Day 2. The Protagonist appears to know his face, and indeed, the Trader will treat him well, almost like an old friend. His headgear is so heavy that all of his speech is muffled, so he communicates with the Protagonist through body language and writing on the glove of his left hand. Another sack, containing his trade goods, hangs from his back.

He is a man standing at roughly the same height as the Protagonist, with a large helmet on his Head, covered by a large sack worn like a hood. The Trader is the person who saves the Protagonist from the Doctor, during the Prologue.
