Strategy
The Crestfallen Merchant is slow and wields a cumbersome weapon. These traits make it fairly easy to strafe him and hit him with fast attacks before getting out of the way, as well as making him a good target for ripostes.

Backstory
His armor and imposing stature suggest that he is one of the fabled knights from the land of Berenike. Although this is only speculation as he readily admits to murdering other Undead before they become Hollowed in order to pilfer their equipment, thus it's also as likely that he's just a very large man who has killed a warrior from Berenike and took to wearing their armor. His dialogue reveals a very pessismistic and guilt ridden personality, he will often encourage and praise the players efforts while condeming them as futile. His erratic and murderous behavior can be taken as signs that he's well into becoming Hollowed himself.
