Uri Molotov is an NPC encountered in Treasure Trails when completing emote clues. To summon him the player needs to perform a specified emote in the right location while wearing, or sometimes not wearing, certain items. He will reward the player with a Scroll Box or Casket, along with a humorous quote. What he says has no bearing on the treasure trail, and is only there to make him seem more mysterious and spy-like.
