Father Aereck is a Saradominist priest who maintains his 230+ year old Church in Lumbridge. Father Aereck is the person players must speak with to start The Restless Ghost quest. He also plays a role in The Lost Tribe quest as one of the citizens of Lumbridge which you should speak to about the strange goings-on beneath Lumbridge Castle. He will also upgrade a player's gravestone if they have completed The Restless Ghost quest. All of the proceeds from purchasing gravestones goes to Varrockian Guards' Widows & Orphans Fund. From his younger days, Father Aereck is friends with another priest named Father Uhrney, who currently resides in Lumbridge Swamp as a hermit. According to Uhrney, Aereck always "gets himself into lots of problems", such as the instance when he "kept on getting stuck up bell ropes" when the two were trainee priests.
A fun thing with Father Aereck is that players ask him who Saradomin is and he will be amazed and say that he thought everyone in the world knew Saradomin, and should the player reply that he/she is not from this world, he will think you are joking. If players say, "This is a disguise he will attempt to defend himself with a cross" or "This is just a computer game", he will say, "I... beg your pardon?", and the player will automatically respond with a "Never mind".
[edit] Trivia
- Father Aereck states that Guthix, Saradomin and Zamorak are brothers but this is not true as Zamorak wasn't born a god as he achieved godhood by betraying Zaros. What this means is that he believes that Zamorak was already a god and doesn't know of Zaros or the Betrayal of Zaros. However, the term "brother" may possibly be interpreted as spiritual brothers, or entities of the same class.
- Father Aereck is friends with Father Uhrney, possibly a spelling difference for Eric and Ernie the famous British comedians in Morecambe & Wise.
