The Bandit is an NPC vendor that provides a plethora of weapons and accessories that tailor to the Rogue class.

The Bandit will move into an available NPC house if the following conditions have been met:

• There is an empty house.
• Skeletron has been defeated.
• The player has at least 1 in their inventory or personal storage items (such as the Piggy Bank). (This condition will not be required if the Bandit has moved in before on that world)

When threatened by enemies, they will defend themselves with the Cinquedea.

Refund

When the player selects the Bandit's "Refund" option after reforging at the Goblin Tinkerer any number of times, the Bandit will return 1/5 of the money spent on those reforges. The Bandit can only return the money spent on reforges, and only in that world. The Bandit has three unique quotes when using this option.

When refunding:

• "Want in on a little secret? Since [Name of Goblin Tinkerer] always gets so much cash from you, I've been stealing some of it as we go. I need you to keep quiet about it, so here."
• "Hey, if government officials can get tax, why can't I? The heck do you mean that these two things are nothing alike?"

If no refund is available:

• "Sorry, I got nothing. Perhaps you could reforge something and come back later..."

Quotes

Interaction Quotes

Anytime: "Anything is a weapon if you throw it hard enough." "That's your chucking arm? You need to work out more." "Listen here. It's all in the wrist, the wrist! Oh, forget it." "Eh you know how it goes; steal from the rich, give to the poor, but I do take a cut of the profit." "Snakes! Why does it always have to be snakes!" "It's super nice you know, to just have everything you want. Some people never got that luxury." "It's not stealing! I'm just borrowing it until I die!" During night: "Hm, the stars are too bright tonight. Makes sneaking around a little more difficult." "You think those stars that fall occasionally would make good throwing weapons?" During a Blood Moon: "Oy, watch where you're going or I might just use you for dart practice." "Bet you'd look good as a pincushion, amiright?" "Zombies don't dodge very well. Maybe you'll do a bit better." "Hey, careful over there. I've rigged the place. One wrong step and you're going to get a knife in your forehead." During a Party: "Where is my party hat? Well, I stole it of course." If the Bandit's name is Laura: "The nice thing about maps is that I can track anything that has fallen." If the Bandit's name is Penelope: "Imagine how fast you could throw if you just had more hands." If the Bandit's name is Rowan: "Usually I only think of animals as food or target practice, but dragons are an exception." If the Bandit's name is Valerie: "I also take food for currency." While in the Jungle: "I'd rather not be here. This place has bad vibes, y'know? It brings back some unpleasant memories." If the Player has the Bone Glove in their inventory: "Wouldn't be the first time I used remains as weapons." If the world is in Hardmode: "All sorts of new weapons to be found and looted. Get to that, and I'll share some of my collection too!" "There's so much scrap around this land with valuable parts to them. Makes you wonder who could afford to leave em all around." "Crypts, tombs, dungeons, those're all just treasure troves to me. The dead are dead, they've got nothing to do with it." If the Moon Lord has been defeated: "If you find anything cool, make sure to drop by and show it to me, I promise I'll keep my hands off it." "So many new things to steal, I can't think of where to start!" "If I end up angering some deities or whatever, would you mind taking the blame for me?"

If the Merchant is present: "Don't tell [Name of Merchant], but I took some of his stuff and replaced it with Angel Statues." If the Brimstone Witch is present: "Hey, hey, has Calamitas seriously moved in here with us? Why???" If both the Arms Dealer and Nurse are present: "Don't tell [Name of Nurse] that I was responsible for [Name of Arms Dealer]'s injuries."

Happiness Quotes

When homeless: "You have a place to bunk? Sleeping on the ground makes me stiff and sore." When far from home: "I need to get back to my secret cache! What if someone got their hands on it while I was away!?" When in a sparse area: "Less people makes getting away with certain things easier." When overcrowded: "I don't like this, too many possible eyewitnesses." "Being around this many people makes me think I'M going to be robbed." When in the Desert: "I know that a lot of wealthy traders come through the desert at times. Makes it a great spot to nick their goods." When in the Jungle: "Too stifling, too humid. I get sluggish in these conditions, no good." When in an Evil Biome or the Dungeon: "No one lives here, and why would they?! This place is a dump!" When near the Goblin Tinkerer: <Name of Goblin Tinkerer> the Goblin Tinkerer doesn't only keep spiky balls in his pockets, he keeps a ton of cash! He's too absentminded to notice that I'm stealing from him too! I like that a lot!" When near the Princess: "I couldn't bear to steal anything from <Name of Princess> the Princess, she's so cute!" When near the Dryad: "What a goody two shoes, <Name of Dryad> the Dryad is! I dislike her out of principle! ...And because she has almost no material goods." When Happiness is neutral: "It's been going well!"

Notes

• The Bandit can teleport to both the King Statue and Queen Statue when either are activated.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Bandit: "The bandit may have a bad habit of looting battlefields and taking what isn’t theirs, but their actions are mostly motivated by their hatred of the obscenely rich who haven’t truly earned the wealth they possess. Their methods are somewhat shady, but can always be relied upon to get a job done."

• The Bandit is the only NPC added by Calamity with more than one possible name.
  • They are also the only added NPC with the normal NPC health of 250.
• The Bandit is canonically non-binary, which is the reason why they are capable of teleporting to both the King Statue and Queen Statue.
• The Bandit's name Marisa is a reference to the character Marisa Kirisame from the Touhou Project series.
  • Their quote "I'm just borrowing it until I die!" refers to Marisa's habit of stealing from youkai with the justification that her human lifespan is shorter than theirs.
  • The Bandit's names Maribel and Hearn are references to the character Maribel Hearn from the same series.
• The Bandit's name Indiana, and their quote regarding snakes is a reference to the character Indiana Jones from the Indiana Jones franchise.
• The Bandit's name Rowan is related to developer Lord Metarex. It is a nod to his real name if he were a girl.
• The quote "Don't tell [Name of Merchant], but I took some of his stuff and replaced it with Angel Statues." is a continuing reference to the well-known Angel Statue being absolutely useless.
  • The Merchant selling Angel Statues while the Bandit is present is also a reference to this line.
• The Bandit's name-specific quotes are references to members of the Calamity dev team and community.
• During a Party, the Bandit will not wear a hat.
• In the mod's source files, the Bandit is referred to as 'THIEF'.
  • This is a reference to the game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, in which the player's name is permanently changed to 'THIEF' if they ever steal from a shop.
