Hiner

Hiner is a shop owner who appears in Gate of Guidance (B-4). When you first speak to him, he will inform you that the shop is not open. After speaking with Fobos, he will begin to sell his regular inventory. After defeating three Guardians, you will receive a Xelputter message from Fobos indicating that another Ankh Jewel is available.

Glossary Entry
''Hiner obsessively observed a giant called Argos who would appear aboveground, at the village. However, he gave up his observation point to the philosopher Alsedana. Now Hiner has teamed up with Fobos to open a shop located in the ruins.''
