Gheed

"Good day to you partner! I'm Gheed and I can already tell that I'll be your best friend in this forsaken camp. A spare weapon, some gold, a small gem, is all I want in exchange of the equipment you'll need on whatever quest you might undertake. Now, now, now...Don't be shy. All of my items are guaranteed for life and come with a two day warranty!"

- Gheed

Gheed is a traveling merchant. He is a large blonde man with a bushy mustache and beard. Though he gives off a jovial manner, a calculating glint can be seen in his eyes. Necromancers are the bane of his life, but for anyone else, he'll greet them with a warm smile and a firm handshake.

Gheed is willing to buy and sell almost anything. He has a strict "no returns" policy.

Biography
Gheed traveled to many places and dealt with a variety of items. In 1264, he was travelling east with Warriv He was present in the Rogue Encampment after the Sisters of the Sightless Eye lost their monastery to Andariel. As demons roamed the forests as well as the monastery, he remained in the camp, providing services to a group of heroes, hoping to eventually reach Lut Gholein. Apart from Charsi, few, if any of the encampment's members had any love for him. Charsi trusted him to the extent that she was willing to let him hang onto her gold, unaware that Gheed was intentionally telling her of adventure so that she wouldn't notice how much money he was making by selling his wares to the Rogues. Many of the Rogues detested him, but Charsi's affection for him prevented Kashya from chucking him out.

At some point, Gheed lost his fortune. His daughter, Kadala, considered him to be a "great man."

Diablo II
Gheed appears in Diablo II as a character located in the Rogue Encampment. He sells items and provides gambling. He's greedy, opportunistic, and cowardly. Most of the Rogues have no love for him (in the words of Kashya: "Gheed is a pig. I was tempted to throw him out of the camp many times."), with Charsi being the only exception who takes comfort in Gheed. Gheed says he keeps Charsi's prices low by filling her head with stories of adventurers and he is secretly raking in all the cash. Gheed bears a special hatred towards Warriv, and will often make snide remarks about him. In Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, a unique grand charm titled Gheed's Fortune derives its name from the NPC. It adds to the player's percent chance of finding magical items, increased gold drops, and reduced vendor prices.

Gheed also seems very wary of the Necromancer who shows up at the camp. It can be inferred that Gheed has encountered necromancers before, though it is unclear if his fear is derived from anything a necromancer did or simply a fear of his craft.

At one point, he also says he is going with Warriv's caravan to Lut Gholein, but does not appear there in Act II. He stays at the Rogue Camp, and if the player returns from a later Act, he would complain that he is unable to sell anything since the rogues started moving back into the monastery.
