| Arturos |
Arturos is a self-proclaimed "king of the gypsies" who is encamped north of Trinsic with his companions, Andreas and Wanda.
When met by the Avatar, Arturos announced that his name meant "foolish monkey" or "he who sells cheese," depending the translation, but insisted that the hero could call him "Uncle Arthur" if so desired. He denounced Zoltan, another man claiming the title of "king of the gypsies", as an impostor.
The charlatan also claimed that he was able to tell fortunes through the use of the tarot, although his readings seemed to be little more than literal interpretations of the pictures on each card. His divination came across vague and bore little, if any, relation to the hero's current adventures. If given the chance, Arturos would take the opportunity to put his arm around the Avatar - which later elicited comments from Shamino that the hero might want to check their coin purse.
The Avatar eventually learned that Arturos had a piece of the treasure map of Hawkins which he had reportedly stolen from Sylaina Moorehead. The clownish man, seemingly unsure of the map's significance, offered to sell the piece for a sum of one hundred gold pieces.
