Humphrey the Hoarder is a representative for the Gold Hoarders on Sanctuary Outpost.

Humphrey is prone to outbursts whenever his greed gets the better of him.

Official Description

Humphrey the Hoarder represents a Trading Company known as the Gold Hoarders, and his avaricious attitude perfectly encapsulates that group's ideals. Like his fellow Gold Hoarders, Humphrey possesses a skeleton key capable of opening the many sealed chests to be found stashed or buried around the world. He will, somewhat reluctantly, offer a cut of the value of any chest a pirate brings his way.

Some of the chests that the Company seeks are cursed, making them dangerous to handle, and Humphrey is not immune to their ill effects. His many years as a Gold Hoarder have left much of his body covered in a distinctive golden sheen, which he views as a badge of honour and sign of prosperity.[1]

Dialogue

If coin is what you seek then Humphrey of the Gold Hoarders is listening.

 
Gold Hoarders? I like the sound of that! How can I get my hands on some gold?

By listening carefully.
Out there are chests of gold to discover, but they're ingeniously locked.
Yes, LOCKED!
LOCKED AWAY FROM FILTHY, GREEDY GRABBING HANDS LIKE YOURS!
Ahem...
Find the chests and return them to us and we'll see about giving you some coins.

How does your company work, Humphrey?

We hold the only key that can unlock the chests of gold.
I know what you're thinking.
BUT IT WON'T WORK!
YOU CAN'T OPEN THEM! YOU CAN'T DESTROY THEM!
Yes, well...
Bring us the chests and we'll share the riches inside.

What is an Emissary? (After 2.0.14)

If you truly love the Gold Hoarder life, gathering chests and counting your gold, then you should become one.
You'd get to represent us on the seas and earn more for showing your dedication, though it comes with a price.
Oh yes, loyalty to the Hoarders always has a price... hmm. But that was another life.

What else can you offer me? (Before 2.0.14)

Who could ever want more than the splendour of gold?
MADNESS!
SHEER LUNACY!
Sorry....
Perhaps our wondrous trinkets may be of interest? Gilded shovels and compasses that shine like the sun!
Prove your worth by increasing our fortune and we'll consider your right to owning them.
