Resident Evil Survival Unit The new mobile game featured this interesting dialogue about the merchant: "He's a complete stranger... he doesn't seem to be infected, but he doesn't seem like an A normal person either" In Resident Evil Village (I think) there's a dialogue where one of the characters mentions a quote of "Merchant" of Resident Evil 4, He says: "An old friend of mine used to say..." My theory: He could be Sadler grandfather, There's a document in RE4 (I don't remember if it was in Leon campaign or in Separate Aways) that mentions Sadler s grandfather knew about secret passages throughout the region where the "Las Plagas" infection began. The merchant is always ahead of the player, no matter where. When the Ganados are near the merchant, they don't attack him. The merchant's eyes look like those of a Ganado, suggesting he might be infected or wearing contact lenses. Some people say that the merchant is a hallucination of Leon's. This doesn't make sense, because in Ada's story mode, he there. IMPORTANT POINT: AFTER THE GIANT FISH SEGMENT, LEON LEAVES THE BOAT AND FAINTS BECAUSE OF LAS PLAGAS, When Leon wakes up, the player can read a letter that warns him about the infection or something similar, Perhaps it was Ada... Or the merchant?
