He is also the placeholder for Watchman Dexlin for the Watchman boots quest. From this link:

[/quote]Bilbis Briar is a merchant on the 2nd floor of the tower on the bridge to South Karana. He will despawn just before 8am, and respawn at 11am (unless he is busy fighting when he is supposed to despawn, in which case he won't despawn till the next day.) Watchman Dexlin sometimes spawns at 10am, in which case Bilbis will not respawn until Dexlin despawns, either at 8am the next day, or when someone gives him a full box of tiny crumpled skels.[/quote]
This is in line with what I remember as a young ranger in 99 who did the watchman boots quest quite often (I have issues) and waiting for Bilbis to despawn, also I sold lots of junk to him while fighting in NK.
