==Background==

Ogden had owned and been running the [[Tavern of the Rising Sun|Rising Sun Inn and Tavern]] for almost four years before the [[hero]] who later destroyed [[Diablo]] arrived. He purchased it just a few short months before everything started to go sour in [[Tristram]], possibly from [[Baerna]], on of the previous owners of the Rising Sun.

He and his wife [[Garda]] did not have the money to leave as they invested all they had in making a life for themselves in [[Khanduras]]. He was considered a good man with a deep sense of responsibility by [[Deckard Cain]] who lived there at the time.

==In Diablo I==

Ogden gives new characters his standard "thank goodness you've returned, my friend" speech, and then fades into irrelevance. He is not a [[merchant]], so does not buy or sell anything, but gives a quest reward for one quest in singleplayer, {{iw|Ogden's_Sign Ogden's Sign}}.

If the [[heroe]]s in [[Diablo I|Diablo]] ever slept or ate, he'd be a lot more useful.
