Role Helping players by selling supplies on his carriage

Hobo is a character in Guts & Blackpowder. He appears to be a Cossack soldier and is presumably living homeless (is the hobo) in Saint Petersburg due to his name, which basically means "a tramp".

Hobo's personality is joyous, frequently laughing and making sarcastic remarks even during the zombie apocalypse. He is also seemingly persuasive, managing to get the artillery brigade to help the players and also technically convincing the players to buy items from him. Based on him being called the "Deranged Hobo" in the credits and scrapped lore about him massacring the survivors of Berezina, he is likely also mentally unstable and unscrupulous.

His appearance consists of a papakha (with a Cuirass underneath), brown clothing, a bearskin hat, a glove on his right hand, and a cross necklace on his neck. He has short grayed hair and a thick beard. He only speaks in russian and broken English

Hobo is encountered in Saint Petersburg, riding his carriage and waiting for the player to lower the bridge. He sells items to the players that can help them during their battle. He will also give players tips and inform them of incoming waves, such as warning them of a large number of Zuirassiers..
