Osman

Osman is a NPC who can be found outside of the palace in Al Kharid. He calls himself the "Spy Master of Al Kharid".

Main appearances in quests
He is a main character in the Prince Ali Rescue and Contact! quests. He also rewards players with thieving experience in exchange for Sq'irk juice, which players can obtain in the Sorceress's Garden activity. He also makes an appearance in the first cutscene in the Recipe for Disaster quest. He is not involved in the quest thereafter, because he falls victim to the ScapeRune random event just before the Culinaromancer's appearance. (Osman was supposed to be involved in the quest as yet another person for the player to save, but delays in implementing the quest prevented this.)

Simon Templeton says that Osman is a slippery customer.

Keris replacements
Replacement Keris daggers can be bought from Osman for 20,000 coins after having done Contact!, if a player should lose the one you initially picked up at the end of the quest.



Trivia
It is much more likley, however, that Osman is somehow related to Sennliten's heir Osmumten, or even descended from him himself.
 * Osman may be a reference to the founder of the Ottoman Empire.
 * After Contact!, Osman's trousers appear to be torn.
 * During Contact!, Osman is "replaced" (The NPC's name is still "Osman") by "The Man who is Not Osman", who is identical to Osman in every way.
 * During Contact!, it is revealed that Osman has extremely high strength, when he hits a plague locust with 270 using a steel scimitar.
 * When talked to he appears to be wearing Ahrim's Hood
