- A seemingly friendly spirit in Pumpkin Jack.
Description[]
A dark and lanky individual, wearing a top hat of sorts and a large scarf to cover his face. He carries a coffin on his back and holds a whip in his right hand.
Story[]
First seen next to his carriage, he greets Jack with a friendly chuckle. He seems to know Jack well as he and his wife, The Ghost Witch, discuss his legends of trickery and malice as a pass-time.
He believes he can help Jack on his quest to defeat the Wizard, claiming his wife can make a powerful concoction that may aid in his journey. He offers his flying horse in return for helping him find the ingredients she needs for it. Jack will meet him several times on his trek across the The Cursed Swamp, slowly leading him to the Ghost Witch.
Becoming a Flying Horseman[]
The Merchant lends his Horse to Jack in return for doing a favour. It knows the way well.
After mounting the horse, it will start charging forward, it needs to be guided by Jack so it will not run straight into any walls or trees, also commanding the Crow to destroy the loose wood to make way for the Horse.
Though it is a flying horse, it will still fly low enough to trip on wooden planks. Jack will need to command it to jump over them or otherwise take severe damage.
