The Salesman is a short term antagonist in the Skeleton Key novel. The Salesman's main line of work goes along with his name, he sells illegal products like weapons, drugs, etc. CIA agent Tom Turner was placed undercover as a weapons purchaser to engage a friendship between him and The Salesman.
Eventually The Salesman discovered Turner's real identity and prepared to kill him, however Alex Rider was at the time with Carver and made it on board The Salesman's main work center, a boat called Mayfair Lady and set the boat on fire. When the crew members got distracted by the fire Alex knocks out The Salesman and saves Turner. However The Salesman woke up and when Alex and Turner jump offboard he tries to ram them with his boat, but one of (see above) General Alexi Sarov's assistants called Conrad had set up a bomb in the Salesman's boat which blew up while The Salesman tried to kill Alex and Turner. The detonation of the bomb blows the boat to pieces and kills The Salesman and his crew.
