The Old Man

The Old Man is a character in Baldi's Basics 1 1/2 who debuted as one of the first characters of said series. The Old Man is also known as The Mustache Guy in some areas. He is always located in a random faculty room. Before The Adequate School he would always stay in 1 large faculty room.
==Description==
===Current===
The Old Man is an elderly man that has both 2D and 3D visual features. The Old Man has a entirely three-dimensional head with white hair and a large white mustache, hence his nickname, "The Mustache Guy". The Old Man is always seen with a neutral expression on his face, and he wears circular glasses that do not appear to be connected in any visual way. The rest of his outfit and body parts are drawn. He is seen wearing a gray sweater, blue pants, and orange shoes. 
The Old Man is seen hunching forward as if he was trying to do something with his hands. He always holds a wallet in his right hand, and a dollar bill in his left hand. His wallet is entirely dark green with a darker "$" symbol in the center to represent a dollar bill, and the dollar bill in his left hand appears to be in the process of being withdrawn from or inserted into the wallet. 
=== Previous===
The Old Man's previous design has similar characteristics to the current one, though there are a few exceptions. His old sprite was created with a more crude style, featuring a lower-quality image of his head, as well as visual elements like his wallet and outfit that lacked black outlines. Additionally, he appears taller and skinnier, and his hair is more white than gray. His arms are also bent slightly differently, and he is depicted wearing brown shoes instead of orange ones.
==Mechanics==
When the game starts, he will spawn in a random faculty room doing nothing. Every exact minute, he will say his catchphrase, and can be heard from afar. When interacting with him, the player's screen will become slightly dark, and a UI screen will show up including a list of 4 item options the player can choose from. For every game run, there is a slim chance that an item in the shop will be tinted red, which signifies that that item is out of stock. Every item costs a single dollar with no tax whatsoever. The rest is self-explanatory. If the player has enough money to purchase their wanted item, they will pay for it; otherwise, nothing happens. After the player has selected "Yes" in the purchase confirmation screen, the shop screen will disappear.
If the player tries to select an item from the shop that is tinted completely red, the confirmation screen will not appear, and the Old Man will say that the item that the player is trying to purchase is out of stock.
If the player has bad luck, the Old Man will become bankrupt, and his shop inventory will be empty for the duration the player has said bad luck, preventing the player from purchasing anything from his shop. Alternatively, if the player tries to purchase an item whilst their inventory is blocked, the shop screen will close, and he will decline the player's purchase, saying that their inventory is messed up at the moment, and to return to him when their inventory is available for usage again.
== Trivia == 
*He is one of the longest surviving characters of the entire BB 1 1/2 series since the very first game. 
**Ironically, his nickname "Old Timer" references the fact that he existed ever since the very first game released.
*Like ProtoPenny, and David, his old office poster was made in GIMP rather than Paint.NET. This was because TOQ did not really know about Paint.NET while he was creating the office poster for the character.
* Prior to The Renewed School, If the player tried to buy an item that was out of stock (The item was fully red), then he would say that he could call Gifttany to deliver the item the player "has an inclination for" to them. He also stated that there iss a 66% guarantee that the delivery would be successful. If the player answered yes, they would risk doing the delivery method and the shop screen would disappear. Otherwise, nothing would happen yet again.
**The developer used 66% instead of 67% because the number 66 is referred to the number 99 rotated 180º. 
***This actually turned out to be a typing mistake that TheObliviousQuail made while making newer voicelines for The Old Man.
*He is a member of the school faculty, which may explain why he always spawns in only faculty rooms.
*He is not related to Victor despite their appearances and popular belief.
*The Old Man is married to an unseen wife that has yet to be discovered.
*According to the developer, The Old Man uses the sentence "harem harem harem" instead of an actual laughing sound effect because he was too lazy to find one during the character's development.
*In Baldi's Basics 1 1/2 New Year Special (Currency & Math Update), all of The Old Man's voicelines were converted into .ogg files to make space for other in-game files.
*The Old Man is presumably the oldest character in the entire franchise, in age terms. His office poster's description saying that he has been selling commodities for over 99 years hints at and furthers this claim 
**The number 99 in his office poster also adds to the appearance of said number in the Baldi franchise.
*For the first time ever, The Old Man received a brand new design in The Spectral School V2.
*Canonically, The Old Man has a Roth IRA retirement plan because he does not want to worry about paying huge amounts of money after he retires.
