Father Christmas (sometimes called Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas or Saint Nick) was a non-player character during the 2004 and 2005 Christmas events. However, he was known as the hooded stranger in 2005.
[edit] 2004
During the 2004 Christmas Event, Father Christmas appeared in numerous free-to-Play and pay-to-play cities, these being East Ardougne, Varrock, Falador, Catherby, and Yanille. He could usually be found along important roads or in town centres.
When spoken to, Father Christmas would give players a yo-yo, a toy that only players who attended the event can receive. If players lost their yo-yo, they could obtain another by speaking to him again. If the player already had a yo-yo, he would just wish them a merry Christmas.
Following the event, Father Christmas disappeared. If players needed a new yo-yo, they could obtain one from Diango in the Draynor Village market.
[edit] 2005
In 2005, Father Christmas appeared at the gate east of Taverley, near Doric's house. When players were instructed to deliver a box of baubles to a person at the gate, they would find him there, although he was called "hooded stranger".
During this event, he played a much less significant role, and was mostly just in-game as a sort of Easter Egg. As usual, he was removed following the event.
