Father Urhney is an irritable priest who lives as a hermit in the Lumbridge Swamp. He has left Lumbridge to perform a full two-years meditation and retreat. Father Urhney never stops meditating, however, since he is constantly interrupted by people asking for amulets or claiming they have come to repossess his house. He suspects they are part of 'a bizarre conspiracy by some fiendish cult.'[1]
Father Urhney plays a role in The Restless Ghost, giving the player a Ghostspeak amulet, which is required to speak to the Restless ghost in Lumbridge. If the player loses the Ghostspeak amulet, even after the quest is done, he will provide the player with a new amulet.
Father Urhney also played a role in the 2018 Halloween event, providing the player with the crypt key required to access the Rimmington church crypt. Later in event, he also provides the player with his clown outfit so they can use it to scare the Spirit of Fear, as he "seldom wears it" now that he is a hermit.

Father Urhney's name (pronounced Ernie) is a reference to one half of the famous British comedy duo act Morecambe and Wise. Specifically Ernie Wise. They had a comedy sketch where Eric Morecambe (Father Aereck, found in Lumbridge) and Ernie Wise were both Monks. One sketch involved bell ringing which in The Restless Ghost, Father Urhney lets it be known that Father Aereck gets himself into lots of problems, "Yeah. For example, when we were trainee priests he kept on getting stuck up bell ropes."
