Spawn mechanics seem bugged for the following npc that appears to be a ph for captain bvellos in kael. Despite many many bvellos deaths there appears to be only one recorded death of the npc on green server. Not sure if there is evidence that he should be more common but it doesn’t seem to make sense that he has only been killed once in a few years now for an npc who’s path takes him regularly through 4 way where people are regularly killing giants for faction/loot.

"Captain Bvellos spawns in the bank. His placeholder is the Kael Militia Captain, who needs to survive for some unknown period of time before Captain Bvellos replaces him."

"Finding him up for hand-ins can be a pain. His PH is the Kael Militia Captain who is static, and will not roam out of his room."

Out of era. That npc wasn't added until after Luclin came out.

There is evidence of this npc spawning in Apr2001:
Allakhazam's Magical Realm (https://web.archive.org/web/20010710195114/http://eqdb.allakhazam.com/item.html?item=3887)

Currently, the Militia Captain is 50/50 with Captain Bvellos. However, the depop mechanism, referred to above as 'unknown period of time', was malfunctioning. So, at best, you would only be able to momentarily see him.


Pending update:
-Corrected despawn behavior of Kael Militia Captain.


Is there any in-era evidence of Kael Militia Captain being a static spawn and not pathing?
