The Merchant (a.k.a. Ankh[1]) is the owner of the Costume Shop in Part Time UFO who sells Jobski different outfits that modify their appearance and enhance their abilities in jobs. Costumes sold by Ankh can be bought with money earned through completing jobs and are required to complete some Feats of Glory. Ankh also sells the Plane Ticket, which is required for Jobski to visit Treasure Island. Ankh speaks to Jobski with a significant rasp, pronouncing the "s" sound as "sh". An example of this is her dialogue "I can't shell anything to the Earth shpecies." As you can probably infer, she meant "I can't sell anything to the Earth species."
