Not to be confused with the Wise Old Man, Odd Old Man, Mysterious Old Man and the Strange Old Man.
The weird old man is a man gone insane outside the Kalphite Lair. His origins are unknown, but he found the Kalphites and warns adventurers of the dangers he encountered.
If the player has already gone into the Kalphite hive (or into the Kalphite Queen's lair, unknown at which point it changes) he will simply say "No thanks, I dont want any" when spoken to.
Trivia
- His words "The horror! The horror!" are a reference to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
- When asking the natural historian in the Varrock museum about kalphites, it is heavily implied that the weird old man's name is Iqbar Ali-Abdula.
