The tramp is a poor, penniless human who can be found in south-east Varrock. Upon speaking to him, he will ask the player for money, giving the player options to donate money to him (one coin) or to refuse, resulting in the tramp shouting phrases such as "I hate [player name]!" and "Don't ask [player name] for anything - he's/she's/they're stingy!" This also happens when you don't have any money and explain this to him.

Varrock is also home to Charlie the Tramp, a tramp who begins the Shield of Arrav quest by informing the player of the Black Arm Gang. He also asks the player for money, though does not shout anything out when a player refuses to give him money.

Trivia

  • Angering the tramp by not giving him any money when he asks for some is an easy task in the Raging Echoes League.
  • Some of the tramp's dialogue is inspired by a real-life encounter that Mod Ash had with a particularly tenacious panhandler.[1]
