The Storekeeper

From Monkey Island wiki

The Storekeeper keeps a close eye on his unwanted patron.

The Storekeeper is equally cranky in the Special Edition.

The Storekeeper is a cantankerous clerk who owns a shop in the village on Mêlée Island. He is constantly away from his desk, often visiting the Sword Master, on whom he has a crush. He is one of the few people on the island to know where she lives; she is aware of his crush but is annoyed by his many visits and always rebuffs him.

The Storekeeper has a rude and insulting manner towards customers; he calls Guybrush names like "weasel-boy", "cheapskate" and "fancy-pants" and tells him that his breath stinks. He has a sixth-sense for shoplifters and tends to return just as his wares are about to be stolen. The Storekeeper will extend credit of up to five thousand pieces of eight to customers with a regular job, although this is refused to Guybrush who must procure the credit note through other means.

Appearance

The Storekeeper has a wild and unkempt look with his grey hair and a beard poking out at all angles. His somewhat hunched back causes him to walk with a cane. He is aged eighty-three. Despite appearances, though, he's a fast walker, making it a challenge to keep up with him when he goes to visit the Sword Master.
