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. | Hoffman is the leader of [[Elder]]'s merchant guild.

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]]. | ||
When it came time to storm [[2-5|Wally's Castle]], Hoffman suggests against a head-on approach and asks for [[Luichel]]'s help once more to infiltrate the castle. During their encounter with Banthus in the [[2-3|Underground Waterway]], they discovered Banthus had been augmented with machines. | When it came time to storm [[2-5|Wally's Castle]], Hoffman suggests against a head-on approach and asks for [[Luichel]]'s help once more to infiltrate the castle.
