Notable features Former random event which still gives players a Security book.


This random event was discontinued during the Random event update.

The Security guard used to be a random event. If a player has their recovery questions set, the guard gives them a security book, another reward, and recommendation to come to the Stronghold of Security.

Since the Random event update, the Security Guard travels around random places and hands out free security books to anyone talking to him. He will teleport to other places a few minutes after being talked to. When he leaves, he will say, "Well, I best be off!", or "Ah, time I was off."


[edit] Random event

File:Bfish scape .PNG The RuneScape feature in this page/section no longer exists due to an update by Jagex.



If players spoke to him he gave players a security book and any of the following rewards:

The guard could also be attacked and killed. Despite his maximum hit of 2, he had extremely high Defence and a total of 250 Hitpoints. The damage done to him only gave you a quarter of an experience point per damage done. If it took too long to kill him, he eventually disappeared. If a player did decide to fight him, he was weak to stab attacks, ranged and magic. Additionally, if you teleported away he would say 'He/She got away!' before disappearing.

If the player already possessed a security book in their inventory, the NPC would not provide another one.

[edit] Trivia

  • Despite advertising the Stronghold of Security, he still appeared when you actually are in the Stronghold.
  • Before the random event update, his chathead was not changed with most other NPC's. Afterwards, it was.
  • His default option was "Attack", which proved annoying for players who genuinely wanted to talk to him to get rid of him.
  • He had no combat level.
