Tax Collector

The Tax Collector is an NPC that taxes your other NPCs to gain coins for you. Every minute (or in game hour) every NPC that has a house will pay taxes, which the Tax Collecter will gather. If you talk to him he will give you the money he has gathered so far (he can gather up to at once). You can use the Enchanted Sundial to gather tax money faster.

To get this NPC, you must find the Tortured Soul enemy in the Underworld and throw Purification Powder on him. Once he has been converted to the Tax Collector he will continue to wander around the Underworld until there is a house available for him to move in to.

Trivia

 * The NPC is most likely a reference to a fictional character named Ebenezer Scrooge, who also wears a top Hat, has mutton chops, and has a hunched back, and also has a very hostile and grumpy attitude towards most people, and is also greedy. However, this miser seems to have refused to change...
 * He could also be a reference to Mr. Scrooge's business partner, Jacob Marley, as you find him in the underworld wrapped in chains.
 * The Tax Collector's potential names are all the names of well-known U.S. Politicians, most of which were at one point president or vice president.
