Alkor

"Potion dealer who would rather be somewhere else. He is pleasant, but seems distracted, perhaps even bored- always reading a book and mumbling strange words."

- Character description

Alkor is a potion-dealer who resided in Kurast.

Biography
By 1264, Alkor was already a model of old age, with a balding head, flowing grey beard, and a gnarled old staff. He reeked of unwashed sweat and "other odors best left unsaid."

As Kurast came under assault by demons, Alkor had good business with Asheara, who 'bought' a "potion of manliness" from him every week." He had no such luck with Natalya, however.

When a group of heroes came to Kurast in pursuit of the Dark Wanderer, he aided them in their goals.

In-game
Alkor is an NPC from Diablo II, Act III. He is an alchemist, similar to Lysander in personality and wares. Alkor's shop is at the top of the map, where he sells various potions. He is also very fond of necromancers. Apparently, he has a number of odd potions, claiming that Asheara is a good customer as she buys a "potion of manliness" from him every week, although the latter is most likely Alkor's rude sense of humor.

He also claims to have a library of tomes. The pharmaceutical tomes would make sense for an alchemist, while the rest concern religious texts, which explains why Alkor is familiar with Lam Esen's Tome.

Trivia

 * Alkor has a very strong Indian accent, making him rather unique and raising questions as to where Indian accent exists in the world of Sanctuary.


 * Alkor's line "I hope you don't object to my badgering the witless" is a pun on the legal concept of badgering the witness.
