Johannes von Mueller, known variably as the "illegal merchant", "dealer", "smuggler", and a multitude of other names, is an NPC merchant found on the Isle of Rupert, spawning in either the northern cave of Nigel's Cove, the cave in Eskimo Point, or in the Glacial Caverns. Unlike most other merchants, along with a selection of weaponry, Mueller also sells a handful of illegal items which, though legal to purchase, cannot be stored in a bank or sold to a legal merchant. Mueller's location typically rotates between half an hour to an hour to any of the three locations[1]; this location will remain consistent across all servers of the Isle of Rupert, meaning players cannot server hop to find Mueller at a specific location if he is not already there.
His name and his spoken dialect indicate that he is of German origin, describing himself as a "Frontier Spezializt" and questioning if he might write a book about his endeavors one day. He has a clear anti-Saint Lawrence Company viewpoint, as when asked to show his shop, he states that the Governor will be missing the items sold from him.
