'"You look harmless. ...We should fix that. Luckily for you, I just happen to be a weapon master!"'

—Opher during first meeting
Opher is a vendor in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. A monkey-like creature, he is a combat expert who teaches Ori new moves and upgrades old ones, for a price. He wields a wooden staff as a weapon.
Overview
Opher is first encountered in Inkwater Marsh. After the player's first purchase, he can be found in Wellspring Glades, mentioning a library in The Wellspring which he would like to visit. Next time he is found at the entrance to The Wellspring, as well as in the library. He also rescues Ori from the Stink Spirit. After that, he stays in Wellspring Glades.
Come to see the view? Splendid, isn't it! The Wellspring in all her magnificence! A whole generation of Moki have come and gone since the old mill's wheels last turned. And they say an impressive library sits within--
What's Shriek doing all the way out here !? Something must have stirred her from her roost. Some threat, perhaps? Not you, surely. You look harmless. ...We should fix that. Luckily for you, I just happen to be a weapon master!
