Ormus
Background
Ormus is a rambling and half-mad old sorcerer, but there is information and truth in what he says. He proved lucid enough to use the Skatsimi dagger as part of a ward to protect the docks from the half-sentient, encroaching jungle.
Unbeknownst to himself, Ormus is looked over by the Viz-Jaq'taar, who looks upon him with some suspicion. An agent of the Order called Natalya is known to have said: He seems to champion the cause of good, but who knows what shadow lurks within his soul? [1]
Diablo II NPC
Ormus gives a couple of quests and quest rewards, and in D2X he is the most popular NPC merchant in Act Three, simply because he is the closest to the waypoint and Town Portal locations, and thus the most convenient to trade with.
His wares are less popular to purchase, but he is the classic magical potion seller, and his inventory includes a few types of armor, along with staves, wands, scepters, scroll and tomes, and mana and health potions.
