The real question here is that is there smut of him?
it's implied he's either a los illuminados double agent/ former los illuminados.
A man has to make a living, even if he's a man with a weird bug inside him

>doesn't make any sense
And Las Plagas made sense? The giant animatronic midget robot made sense? The Indiana Jones trolley ride made sense?
The merchant had every right to belong, get the fuck out of here.

RE4 was not meant to be taken seriously

My friends and I always called him the Dirt Merchant.
>>322188456
Pretty sure its soft confirmed he had a master Plagas like Saddler or Salazar or Krauser. Hence why he could do whatever he liked and didn't lose control.
>>322188862
Las Plagas didn't make any sense, no, but it at least had explanation and full backstory.
Still no explanation for teleporting cockney hunchback

Where? Besides his obvious Plagas eyes and free will?

I'll take a weird explanation for a protagonist to get his gear rather than a random "buy/sell screen" in RE5, fuck that shit.
I don't think he was ever really "there".
He's just a non-canon gameplay element.
The merchant is voiced by the same guy as Leon.

he's one step ahead. i mean if you want to make sense of him and not the rest of the game then you're barking up the wrong tree. otherwise, that's the explanation. you fight an army with these weapons so he must know where caches are. that's about it. a better explanation is "it's a video game."
