Some Merchants seemed to be actively working with Smugglers in the Canyons, as they were found in a Smuggler's Warehouse and Smugglers in the area were also neutral to them in that area. Merchants could also be found imprisoned in cells inside a Sarafan gatehouse,[4][7] or restrained as Chained humans in other gatehouses[Blood Omen 2]. Other Merchants could be found wandering the Canyons (without Carts) or huddling by fires[Blood Omen 2] (these Merchants are apparently looking for something which appears seasonally in the Canyons)[8]
Merchants are labelled as "mrchnt" in debug messages[Blood Omen 2], but they are given a variety of less precise names in scripts, including "Man",[8] "Fisherman"[6] and "Prisoner"[7]
Minor character Turo, seen at the start ofChapter 7:The Canyons, has a Merchant NPC character model[Blood Omen 2]; given their role as 'fishermen' (see above), Jack and Plunkett, the unseen and missing NPC's in the Wharves, could be considered to be 'merchants'.[9]
