The Apothecary runs the pharmacy and potion shop in southwest Varrock. He plays a part in certain quests, often making delicate potions and herbal products.

Free useless potions can be obtained from him about 50% of the time when talking to him.

During and after Shades of Mort'ton, the diary of Herbi Flax found during the quest can be given to him, and in return he will grant the player 335 Herblore experience. This can only be done once.
