'''Ali Morrisane''' is a greedy, cunning and (in)famous [[Pollnivneach|Pollnivnian]] merchant who is always on the lookout for new business opportunities. He is located on the market in north-eastern part of [[Al Kharid]] not far from the cactus patch. He will often sell useless junk to players for about 10 coins each without the player's consent.

He was born in [[Pollnivneach]] and is prejudiced by the citizens of [[Al Kharid]] because of this. His known family members are his nephew Ali Baba (who may not actually exist) and his young son, [[Farid Morrisane|Farid]], who works at the [[Grand Exchange]] in [[Varrock]]. He wrote a very basic guide on how to kill things, which can be read in the [[Varrock]] dummy training area by the east bank. It is also said in [[Postbag from the Hedge]] that he drove [[Lesser demon]]s from unknown parts to [[Crandor]]. Despite owning a small stall, he seems to be very rich, employing many people and devising large schemes and scams that make him richer. He has a cousin by the name of [[Alex the Brave]].

Appearing harmless, Ali is a brilliant businessman who crosses all limits when trying to achieve his goal. After having an adventurer settle a feud between bandits and Menaphites that follow [[Amascut]] in his home town, he "invites" a number of his nephew's acquaintances to Al Kharid to set up business. In reality, this farmer, tailor, smith and guard (Ali, Ali, Ali and Ali respectively)'s jobs are to threaten all of the town's shopkeepers, or rather, anyone who offers services or goods for payment, to join Ali's chain of business or have theirs taken down. Nevertheless, the shopkeepers of Al Kharid continue to live their lives naturally, knowing that [[Hassan|Chancellor Hassan]] has put [[Osman|Spymaster Osman]] and the Elite Guard on it. When asked about it, Ali denies involvement and promises to have a talk with the Alis, explaining their behaviour by claiming they are simply enthusiastic from the move.

==Shops==
{{main|Ali's Discount Wares}}

Ali owns a shop of general stock that functions like an ordinary [[general store]], though players can only sell back the items he carries, unlike general stores. Players can buy [[Desert robe|desert robes]] here.

[[File:Ali Morrisane stall.png|thumb|right|Ali Morrisane Stall (after [[Rogue Trader]]).|240px]] After the completion of the [[Rogue Trader]] activity, he expands his shop to sell:
* [[Runes]], supplied by [[Aubury]] in [[Varrock]]. Originally, runes could be obtained here slightly cheaper than normal, but since the inception of the [[Grand Exchange]] and personal stores there is little or no point to buying runes here.
* Unique clothing, including [[Menaphite robes]] and [[Desert outfit]]s, supplied by [[Siamun]] in [[Sophanem]].
* [[Blackjack]]s (both offensive and defensive).

'''Note''': Each time the player talks to Ali Morrisane, he will try to sell the player something. If you fail to resist, some unwanted junk may appear in your inventory and you will lose about 10 coins. However, some of these items may be sold back to Ali Morrisane to obtain a profit.

==Rogue Trader==
{{main|Rogue Trader}}

Once [[The Feud]] quest has been completed, Ali Morrisane will need the player's help once again. He wants to expand his business, and will require the perseverance of the player to deal with various suppliers all over ''RuneScape''. One part of this activity includes a sudoku-style puzzle, which increases the types of runes that can be purchased. When the GE was instituted, the cost of runes were greatly increased and it is now rare to see players playing the puzzle or purchasing runes from Ali.

==Trivia==
* He has numerous aliases including Dr. Ali, who sold fake artefacts to the [[Varrock Museum]].
* During the party in the [[Ratcatchers]] quest, he is one of the party goers.
* He also authored the Combat Scroll found in the building next to [[Varrock Museum]].
* His skin appears much less tan in his [[chathead]].
* He is the author of the [[Book o' piracy]].
