The Merchant

The Merchant is one of The Old Ones, and, like the others, is shrouded in mystery. Appearing as a dark skinned witch doctor, this is a guise under which he operates a voodoo shop, wearing nothing but ragtag clothing. However, whenever he has a customer for his true purpose, he takes on much swankier clothing, complete with a tophat. 
As his name implies, The Merchant is a dealer of goods, extremely rare and nigh if not outright impossible to obtain goods. He has the ability to seemingly be able to acquire anything, regardless of what it is, or its location. While in return, he demands something of equivalent value, this has on one occasion been relative, as he traded something virtually impossible to obtain in exchange for something as simple as an enchanted crown. Distance and location is seemingly irrelevant, as seen when he somehow acquired an Elemental power from a completely different world who's said elemental power had no current host. His power is so vast that even someone like Mileena considered him to be something akin to a god.
Due to the extraordinary nature of his commerce, gaining access to his shop for the purpose of his true power, is extremely difficult for those who do not know. Hidden on every continent in the world is a lone, inconspicuous stone. To be transported to his shop, one must find this stone, and turn it over three times.
It has been heavily implied by CoCreator Zylo that one of The Merchant's abilities comes from the fact that he is self aware across the multiverse; While there is a version of him in every reality, they are all aware, and have commerce with each other. This was all but proven true when Archerios traded some of his blood to resurrect Vries, as when Mynna asked what he intended to do with it, he responded by saying they had nothing to worry about, because its fate was "not in this universe".
