Question for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

I can't find the stranger!! The map marker points to the abandoned house in Anvil, and into the room upstairs. But no one is there. I have looked every hour of the day. Is it something wrong with my game or is he somewhere else?

He usually hangs around Anvil castle when he's not at home, but I'm not sure if the marker would still follow him. And try not to submit twice.

He walks down to the harbour and around town during the day, so go to his house around midday. If he doesnt't turn up, just press back and wait till about 6pm. He should turn up

The stranger is in the Anvil castle during the day and is in house during the night

Guest answered:

I do beleive that if you have looked every where and still have not found The Stranger you either killed him during the beginning of the game and might of forgot, and you would need to start over if you want to complete the theves guild. Because I am having the same problem but keep looking and don't only start over if it is certain!

Guest answered:

I'm having the same issue, except my marker has him inside the castle right at the doors

From here:
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:NPCs#Console_IDs

To move a missing NPC to your location, use:

Prid
Moveto player

If the NPC is not visible after those commands, then the character may have been disabled, so type:

Enable

Or if he's dead:

Resurrect 1

The Stranger code is 0000C230. It worked for me, try it.
And plz don't came like some other posts "may be you killed him early and now need to start again" because this guy is an imortal NPC at least until you finish the gray fox quest.
Any way, with that code you can ressurect him, so is not a big deal!

Have fun!
