Since he's one of the first few survivors that managed to interact with the Pershala Merchant, he discovers that even the Pershala Merchant has ranks of its own. It's represented by the color of their robe and the energy surrounding them.
In an ascending manner, the color starts from Black, Green, Brown, Blue, and Red.
Each differs in the rank of power starting from the first circle all the way to the fifth circle and of course the higher the rank of the Pershala Merchant the higher the quality of the items it's selling.
Pati now realized why it was considered a privilege to know of this information.
Any other Survivors that don't know this information would only stay clear of this chaotic energy coming from a weird-looking figure that is no doubt a Zombie, the change in color will only increase their wariness towards the Pershala Merchant.
But knowing the information, Pati has become attracted to it like a moth to light.
