Treasure Hunter (Skyrim)

The Treasure Hunter is a dead NPC that one can find in a random event somewhere in Skyrim, lying on the ground in the middle of an area. They will often have a small sum of gold, a set of fur armor (often without the helmet), and a note that reads:
:I'm close to finding the [Enchanted Item]. I've tracked it down to [Cave or location]. It's apparently guarded by a [Creature/NPC].
Reading this note activates a miscellaneous quest to explore the location given and retrieve the item on the note.
Treasure Hunters can also be found alive in small groups, searching for loot in different locations. They turn hostile if the Dragonborn gets too close (trying to protect their soon to be found loot). They can then be killed and no bounty will be incurred. Usually there is some treasure nearby, such as a chest.
If the Dragonborn manages to speak to a live Treasure Hunter before turning hostile they will act as a merchant with dialogue similar to that of a hunter. When in the merchant menu the Treasure Hunter's inventory will appear empty, and if the Dragonborn sells any items, they will not appear on the Treasure Hunter's side of the inventory.
