Hoffman is the leader of [[Elder]]'s merchant guild. He is the first person to greet the El Search Party after being informed by [[Hagus]] of their arrival. Inviting the El Search Party to his home, he sits them down for a cup of tea. Hoffman informs the group that Banthus has been performing similar heists in surrounding towns as well. He also expresses concerns about the local military's actions, given the increase in bandit activity. As an initiation of trust, Hoffman tasks the El Search Party with reclaiming stolen supply from the bandits posted by [[Wally's Memorial Bridge]]. Despite gaining his trust, he is still reluctant to provide information without getting something in return.

As a merchant, he puts trust above all else and tasks the team with recovering lost goods in the [[Shadow Forest|Shadow Forest]]. The increase in unrest in the forest reminds Hoffman of the Great Monster Outbreak from thousands of years ago. Suspicious that the Demon World might play a role, he investigates the Dark Wizards. With the help of [[Luichel]], they have a tip on where to find Banthus. He enlists the help of [[Lenphad]], who also grew increasingly suspicious of the increase in bandit activity and the lack of action by Wally's guards. Their suspicion was right as Banthus had been working with [[Wally]].
They infiltrate the castle through the [[Underground Waterway]]. The El Search Party are spotted and a full scale assault commences, an attack from within while the villagers stormed the then unprotected gate. The operation was a success with little casualties. [[Wally]] had escaped with the El and Hoffman deduces that Wally's most likely destination was the [[Bethma]] Valley, both as a good hiding place and as an ore rich mining destination.
