Ezekial Lovecraft sells and buys fish and bait in the town of Witchaven. He sells all normal Fishing equipment from his shop called Lovecraft's Tackle.
His skin is a sickly yellow colour, similar to the villagers possessed by sea slugs, but he lacks the gills and bulging eyes that they also possess. He claims to have looked like this since before Mayor Hobb was possessed, and speculates the Mayor's current speaking patterns and appearance to be the result of recognizing how much Ezekial admires him, and that he has come to admire Ezekial in turn.[1][2]
Slug Menace
During the Slug Menace quest, he gives the player page 2 of Brother Maledict's holy book, which he mysteriously received by someone who pushed it under his door, most likely agents of the Sea Slugs like Mayor Hobb, Brother Maledict, or Col. Jake O'Niall as these pages are used to craft special runes to be used as keys to free Mother Mallum from her imprisonment.

Trivia
- Ezekial's last name is a reference to the famous American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Ezekial mentions his family have always been either bait sellers or writers, and mentions his relative Howard. This is further confirmed by the nature of the quests he's involved in. Furthermore, the town in which he resides is similar to the fictional location of Innsmouth featured in a Lovecraft story.
- Instead of "Trade", like all other shop owners, he has a right-click option "Shop" that opens the shop's window.

- ^ Ezekial Lovecraft in The Slug Menace. Old School RuneScape. "Really? That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said. I admire him a great deal. He works so hard for this town. ... Hmm, I don't think I do. ... Well, I haven't spoken to him in a while. I don't get out much. ... Maybe the Mayor has finally seen how much I admire him and has grown to admire me? ... Hey, I resent that!"

No really, what with the unhealthy skin tone and bulging eyes. The resemblance is uncanny. ... Anything's possible I suppose. Wait a minute, you mean you've always looked that odd?"
