Lachtopher

Lachtopher wanders the northern part of Lumbridge, usually outside the General Store. He is the good-for-nothing brother of Victoria who once lived on the east side of the River Lum until goblins invaded his house.

Attack of the goblins
Lachtopher is a brother of Victoria. He lived on the east side of the River Lum until goblins attacked Lumbridge, forcing him to move to other side of the river. Because Victoria's mother always taught Victoria to be understanding and kind, she decided to take Lachtopher into her house for a couple of weeks. He has stayed there ever since.

Learning the Ropes
Lachtopher claimed to be super-brave if you talked to him during the short-lived quest version of the tutorial. He had tried to borrow some money from Sir Vant, but was turned away. Lachtopher thinks that Sir Vant is unreasonable and is certain that he has lots of gold obtained from all the monsters that he has killed.

Current
Lachtopher has lived in Victoria's house for quite a while now and shows no intention of leaving, or even finding another place to stay in.

He occupies the ground floor of Victoria's house.

He is the person referred too in the recent Cryptic Clue Fest's clue 1.



Trivia

 * On the first day RuneScape HD came out, most of the new NPCs in Lumbridge were unable to speak or have any dialogue when you talked to them. Speech was added the next day.
 * Lachtopher lived on east side of the River Lum but was forced to move by the invading goblins. It is presumed that his house was closest to the border gate of Al Kharid. The other one was most likely house of Lozar, due to the population of goblins in that house.
 * At the end of the dialogue your character will say: "I think I'll call you Lazy Lachtopher from now on." However, your character will not call him that.
 * He may have been placed in the game by Jagex as a method of showing new players that begging isn't a good way to make money, as they may face criticism.
 * His name is a pun of "latch off her" to say that he uses his sister's belongings instead of gaining his own.
 * Jagex may have also put him there to satirize players that beg.
