Banner carrier

The Banner carrier is an Imp holding a banner, which you can summon with Calling beads. In order to get these beads one must defeat a champion in the Champion's Challenge minigame in the Champions' Guild.

The banner shows an image of any champions you've defeated, or the number of champions you've defeated in Roman numerals. The Banner carrier's examine text changes depending on what banner he is wielding. To change the look of your banner, talk to your Banner carrier. You can choose from the number of champions you have defeated, or the head of the champion you have defeated.

Note: Killing the Leprechaun Champion will not get you the Calling beads to summon this NPC, as the Leprechaun Champion is just a teaser for the real work.



Trivia

 * This is the first follower outside of a quest who runs with you.
 * Although the Banner carrier follows you, he is not classed as a pet or familiar. As such, he will not appear in the Summoning interface. However, you will not be able to have a pet follow you or summon a familiar until you've dismissed the banner carrier.
 * If you call your Banner Carrier, it shows a Leprechaun on the banner for about 1 second.
 * There was a bug where if you faced the Grand Exchange booth and summoned the imp, he'd appear inside the booth with the Bankers and Grand Exchange clerks. He could not move unless you moved away so far that he re-appears next to you. This has been fixed.
 * After a couple seconds of standing in one spot, the Banner Carrier appears to check if you are still in front of it.
 * The Calling beads do not need to remain in your inventory after calling the Banner carrier for it to continue to follow you.
