Okay, i tried guildwiking it and trying to find it in here but either I just can't remember the name or no one has ever seen it o_o
But while doing the Ironfist primary quest (with Corsair Invasion in the list as well), my boyfriend and I came across this random NPC near the edge of the water close to where the group of corsairs for Invasion were (across the giant head statue). His name was like Bahlket or something like that and when I talked to him he prompted me with a dialogue that sorta went like "What am I doing out here" and such and you have button to click and then it ends with something like bowl and water (I wasn't really paying attention >_<). When I clicked on him again the speech bubble appeared and it was like "You have no importance to me."
I wish I had gotten a screencap, but my boyfriend can testify. I went back in there with him to finish Invasion after doing the Ironfist one. This time I had the War Preparations quests on my list. But when we went to find him, he wasn't there o_o I don't know if it was because of the War Preparation quests or not, I'll go back in after finishing this one.
But if anyone knows about this dude please tell o.O

You sure your not mistaken? Maybe you encountered a bug or something, that is his only known location.
If he really was in that other location, maybe it was just a odd bug.

Maybe, but then I went to zehlon reach and scoured that whole area. I didn't see him. I searched there on my sin and all the setup for the master quests were like there (like the Voices one) but I wasn't able to do them, like they weren't offered.
I don't know if that would affect it or not, but he was definitely not there when I mapped that whole area. I had left it unmapped since I wasn't that big on the mapping so I could easily tell where I had been even with the dots.
Edit:
And I'm sure I'm not mistaken o_o like i said i was with my boyfriend and he went up to him as well. And I even wrote his name in the chat log so I could reference back (unfortunately it had cleared by the time i was able to do so) but i definitely remember it being like Bahltek and I was actually pretty close in my guess with Bahlket. That's how my boyfriend remembered as well.
I remember being all "wtf o.o" about it cos I definitely did not remember that npc being there and I've been through that area already with my dervish

I've found him yesterday in Fahranur, the first city explorable area :
But I totally forgot to take screenshots of what he said.
That's only when I finished to talk to him that I remembered this topic (
)
So I wanted to go back there with my character to take screenshots of our conversation...he was gone.
Same with other characters I have.
That's really weird...this NPC talked about a mysterious artefact he was looking for, that he was an alchemist, and that he doesn't need my help.
Is it a clue for a future profession in guild wars?

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME!
I can't find him in the keys on ANY of my characters after talking to him and he was talking about a bowl with water of some kind. And then afterward he said i wasn't of any help and not even important (*Hmph* >>)
this NPC really IS mysterious o_o

=HT=Ingram
I am wondering if this has anything to do with Admiral Saidon the Eternal from Fissure of Woe Coast line... hummm... could that be the ghost ship he is talking about? Is it possible the Corsairs have a Rift into the mists as well? hummm Chapter 4 anyone? Don't you just love teasers in chapters? lol

I've found him in another place !
I was playing with my warrior (the same character that met him yesterday...see my previous post), but this time this NPC was in "Lahtenda Bog" explorable area:
I spoke to him, but this time he said something different than yesterday:
As you see, there is no "button" to click to continue his dialogue (yesterday he told me something completely different, and I had to click on a button several times to read all that he had to say).
And if you click again on him...
Hmmm...

Looks like a broken quest to me - by talking to him you move him along to the next step where by the looks of it you have to meet him somewhere else!
Either that or ANet are messing with your head!

well i wanna know where to go from the keys o_O I'll have to try and find him in one of those places o.o...
but i wonder where the starting place is? If there is even one to begin with o_o
what's also weird is that it's a one time only deal, like you can't view him in the same spot with your other characters. so if you talk to him on one char in the bog, you won't be able to on the rest of your chars o_o
i say we form a giant search party >O *not really* xD
Edit:
And yeah, that lost shot is what he said to me to end it too so that's DEFINITELY him!
Is it okay if I rename the thread slightly so that if any other people have noticed they could post something about it?

i read the dialogue and that's definitely different from what Niuk posted and from what i read from the keys o.o weeeiiiird
Edit:
and btw, this is total speculation and other people have pointed this out, but with that dialogue that you put up on guildwiki, it really does sounds like something for the fourth campaign o.o

This is turning into a Druid's Overlook thread - there's no bug and there's no broken quests. He's just an interesting part of the game, nothing more.
lennymon
perhaps being a high level lightbringer would make you 'important anough' to warrant speaking with? Or some other title...
Laenavesse
It possible, but I don't know o.o I only saw him on my ele when she was still on the island and have yet to find him on any other char.
I just think it's fun to try and find the person. But you have to wonder if he appears only on the island or if he can be found on the mainland. So far there have only been reported sightings of him on the island though.

hmmmmm....I remember an NPC talking about that bahltek guy in the desolation
maybe I'll check it out later.

I found him twice yesterday, while questing with a new character. First time was in Zehlon Reach, very near the Suspicious Hermit and his pet (and what's up with those two as well?).
Then I saw him in the First City later. I'll have to keep an eye out for him in the Bog and Keys when I get there.

After speaking with the tread op, I have reopened this and deleted all the off topic babble
Please remember the main focus of this thread is speaking about the NPC called Bahltek, who now has a GuildWiki page.
There is some rumors floating about chapter 4 which sent this thread off topic, so please don't get into that again.
Currently it unknown if this NPC is just random, or maybe part of a quest that was never added ingame.
We don't mind fun speculation on the forums, but please remember if things start to go widly off topic with people just coming up with all sorts of ideas not related to the NPC or just plain silly rumor spreads the thread maybe closed again.
Even the op has agreed to this.

*nodnod* Thank you again, RTSFirebat.
So if anyone spots him ANYWERE on the continent of Elona, or if another NPC makes any reference to Bahltek or whatever he says, please put up any screens or anything to help further flesh out that GuildWiki page ^^ It is tempting to post speculations connecting the NPC to the fourth campaign, and as long as they are directly tied to what Bahltek says and consequent posts don't draw off to talking about Chp. 4, then those *should* be okay.
But for right now, lets just focus on getting the information and finding out where Bahltek appears and what he says.
Thank you again ^-^

I tried finding him last night with two Tyrian born characters, and he never spawned.
So.... to all those who have found him....Where was your character born?

SirErnieMacGloop
I have found him in all four known locations on Istan with my Tyrian born warrior.
In Zehlon Reach he faces to the North, out to sea.
In Fahranar he also faces to the North, towards the flooded room where the Apocrypha spawns.
In Mehtani Keys he faces SouthWest out to sea.
In Lahtenda Bog he also faces southwest.
Here is a pic of the direction he faces:

I couldn't find him until I did them in order: Zehlon, Fahranar, Lahtenda, Mehtani.
FYI: My girl carries all the Gwen quest items, and Bahltek did nothing unusual.

Well Elona is south of tyria...so I wonder if he's looking toward tyria when he's looking north.
don't know where cantha is in terms of direction from tyria or elona so that mysterious southern direction could be for either chapter four or cantha..or he just likes looking at water o_o
@Carinae: i'm not sure if there is an order because I first spotted him in Mehtani on my ele. of course i had *been* to those places before that but I never talked with him. But then again, my ele is Elonian.
I couldn't find him on my sin in Zehlon though o_o

Hmm, I vaguely remember encountering this guy on one of my toons who's progressed through the game. Interesting.
Maybe he would reveal more information to someone who has a Spearmarshal title, or Holy Lightbringer, or koabd. I wonder if a different dialogue would trigger if an "important" character engaged in a conversation with him, with one of the aforementioned titles active.

Ahh, This is strange. Many things relate to lore. I wont spread rumors though, that would be unnecessary.
I have a feeling we wont be seeing the last of him...

Carinae has Spearmarshall, KoaBD, and R6 Lightbringer. She paid him a visit yesterday in Zehlon, and he didn't do anything different.
Spearmarshall was her active title.
Nada.

Nada. I went out to Zehlon as well, with the KoaBD title active, and had the same happen, nothing special. I imagine the same results will probably yield for a Holy Lightbringer.
Well, that was a bust.

So... after the progression on the island (all four sightings), has anyone checked to see if he'll show up on the mainland? Perhaps there's a sighting sequence beyond the four.
Laenavesse
Well I finally took screens of the dialogue that I got from the Keys [yes i finally found him again with my Monk >_<!] But obviously order does not play a role since i haven't encountered him in any other places. I'd post screens but the dialogue is already on guildwiki.
the only thing guildwiki doesn't show is the map to where he is..which i did take a screen of cept i forgot to do it on the big map xD;; oh well.
and if he DOES show up on the mainland...aieee that's a lot of ground to cover
Edit:
i was reading the thread on GWOnline about Bahltek (though i started it first :P interestingly enough the title of the thread is "Mysterious NPC" xD) and they went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay deep into it o_o i had to stop though cos it really started going into the lore of world(s) of GW o.o

I agree that order doesn't matter. I thought it might because he wouldn't appear for my monk until I tried them in order. When I did that he appeared consecutively at each of the latter spots.
However, Carinae visited him out of order in Lathenda Bog yesterday, after 94874639 runs out there looking for him, he finally appeared. Car has never found him in Faharnur. This time she had R6 LB active, again nothing different.
Visitation Order - nixed
Titles - nixed
Gwen items - nixed
You know, he rarely spawns....maybe we should record the times he has appeared. Maybe he only appears at certain times of the day.

Hm, well thanks to my screencapping and wonderful "Date Modified" information, I caught Bahltek at the keys on Monday at around 11 P.M. Central Time. I haven't tried looking for him at the other places..mainly because the only other "map" to him was Faharnur I think.
SirErnieMacGloop
Has anyone checked his reflection in Mehtani Keys?
Laenavesse
uhm...well from my screens it seems normal to me, well as normal of a reflection as you can get in the water
After looking through my screens i noticed that in the Keys, by the spot where he is, there are two ships: the one in the water that's just floating and the one that ran aground and is where the corsairs our.
the one in the water looks pretty "ghostly" if you ask me: the sails are ragged, the colors dulled, and it just looks old.
but that's just me. probably a normal corsair ship but meh iunno. there's a piece of the Jade Sea with the broken ship and if you think about it, the Jade Sea is more of a mirror sorta...but iunno. He's talking about mirrors and water and raah
