Hans



Hans is an NPC found in the courtyard at Lumbridge Castle in Lumbridge. Before the update, he was walking at the same place at the Lumbridge Castle stairs,since the update he walks now everytime around the castle. His right-click options are "Talk-to", "Work-for" and "Examine". When spoken to, Hans says, "Hello. What are you doing here?" The player is then given three options: or
 * "I'm looking for whoever is in charge of this place,"
 * "I have come to kill everyone in this castle!"
 * "I don't know. I'm lost. Where am I?"

By asking the first question, Hans responds by telling the player about the Duke, and that he can be found in the study on the first floor.

By choosing the second response, Hans backs away, and the words "Help! Help!" are displayed above his head, as though he is using the in-game chat tool. Plus, if you walk up to him after saying this, he will continue to flee.

By choosing the final response, Hans will tell the player that he/she is in Lumbridge Castle.

Hans also plays a role in a couple of treasure trail clue scrolls, one being an Anagram(Snah = Hans) and the other is a cryptic (which also has "Snah" in it).

Hans can also be spoken to by selecting "random contact" on the NPC Contact spell. If Hans is contacted, the player will humorously say that they are a knight coming to kill everyone in Lumbridge Castle, to which Hans will panic.

 * Hans is attackable in RuneScape Classic. His combat level is three.
 * Hans was the first NPC created by Jagex
 * When selecting the option "I have come to kill everyone in the castle", you will not be able to talk to him for 3-4 seconds.
