Odd Old Man

''This article is about the Old man which start the Rag and Bone Man + Fur 'n' Seek quests. For other uses, see Old man.''

The Odd Old Man (real name: Archibald Paldock) starts the Rag and Bone Man quest and, afterward, the Fur 'n' Seek quest. He collects bones, furs, teeth, and similar items for what was previously an unknown purpose. The bone sack on his back appears to talk to him and tell him what to say. He says he works for the Varrock museum, bringing stuffed creatures to put on display, but his phrasing suggests he is misleading the player, to hide the real reason why he wants these items. After completing the wish list from the Fur 'n' Seek quest, it is revealed that the old man had found the remains of a powerful, undead, mind-controlling Skeletal horror and carried them in the sack on his back for over 10 years.

The Odd Old man gives you either a Bonesack or Ram skull helmet when you have completed the Rag and Bone Man quest, and enhances them after completion of the Fur 'n' Seek quest.
