Finnegan

Halfling • Twilight Company Agent • George's Mentor

Overview​

Finnegan ("Finn") is an agent of the Twilight Company. He taught George the trade, and his name first came up in the earliest sessions while Olivia was searching for George. The party did not meet him in person until Session 54, when Lady Viper assigned him as their escort into the Eldoran capital. As of Session 63 he is inside Eldoran with the party. He mapped their escape routes for the three-target strike and waited at the docks while the research tower came down.

Appearance​

The Session 2 recap describes him as a charming, young, blonde halfling who was always around shady people. When the party finally met him in Session 54, the DM described him as "either a tall halfling or short human" with boyish features and reddish-brown hair, dressed in a white linen shirt and green linen pants.

Early Mentions​

  • In Session 2, Olivia learned that George had been seen with a suspicious halfling named Finnegan and added him to her board of suspects.
  • In Session 3, George's journals described Finnegan as an information broker who had dealt with both the Twilight Company and the Iron Claws. The Twilight Company told Olivia that Project Purple Patch appeared compromised and that Finnegan was on a mission to investigate it, meeting "someone called Lady Viper."
  • In Session 8, the party listed reconnecting with Finnegan, "a go-between for the Twilight Company", among their goals. In Session 10, they were following leads on where he and George had last been seen.
  • In Session 16, once rescued, George explained that he had been learning skills from his mentor Finnegan, including cocktail making and lockpicking.

The Eldoran Mission​

  • Session 54. The party met Finnegan in room 1012 of the Little Spoon inn in Little Cradle. He laid out the real job. Lord Bradicus was hiring mercenaries to pull an artifact from a haunted, ruined library, and he hoped they would die on camera. The winning company would get a five-year contract and free movement through the capital. Finnegan's own plan was to embed as a mercenary carrying the rare elements for explosives, which he would build with Bru's help. He said they had five sites in Eldoran to blow up. Olivia leaned on him (Intimidation 24) until he handed over the sending stone George uses to report in. He defended George's record: "I asked him to give me a sandwich once. He did it."
  • Session 55. He travelled with the party as an extra hand, kept "Finn" as his cover name, and drove them to the Bradicus estate in his nondescript sand wagon. Hearing the story of the necklace Silas left for Naomi moved him nearly to tears. At the gate he briefly panicked after a rival car exploded against the estate's dome. Silas talked him down, and he presented the invitation he had prepared weeks earlier, amended to the party's new company name.
  • Session 57. Once the party was inside the capital, he pointed them to George, now embedded in the city guard, at the Sexy Peacock.
  • Session 58. In the transcript, George says he has been working mostly through Toothy and Finnegan, and that Finnegan is "mostly in and out."
  • Session 62. Staying at Toothy's safehouse, Finnegan sat up late with a reading lamp and supplied markers when Silas wanted to plan "a heist." Silas said Finnegan was the only member of the Twilight Company besides Lady Viper he considered actually competent. Finnegan took on mapping the escape routes: boat, sewer line, or a vehicle ramp.
  • Session 63. He waited at the docks for whichever escape route the party ended up needing, as the research tower fell and the Bugatti cleared the wall.
