A middle-aged nobleman, Finnigan was the town mayor of Trinsic, and had held the office since his arrival three years before, but often felt that the city of Honor was rather empty of life, people, and honor. When the Avatar first arrived in Trinsic via a red moongate, Finnigan had just learned of the brutal murders of Christopher, the local blacksmith, and Inamo, an immigrant gargoyle, from the stable caretaker Petre. When Iolo vouched for him, Finnigan asked the Avatar to investigate the crime and promised him a sizable reward if he could learn the name of the killer. As they discussed the murders, Finnigan felt that Inamo's death had been a chance victim, but admitted that he had seen a murder similar to Christopher's in Britain, where the victim had been killed in a ritualistic fashion, and that he felt the same murderer was responsible for the crime.
After the Avatar searched the stables for clues, he returned to Finnigan to report that key had been located at the site. Recommending the Avatar seek out Christopher's son Spark, Finnigan also mentioned that the night watchman at the dock, Gilberto, had been injured the evening before and was recuperating under the healer Chantu's careful eye, and the morning watchman, Johnson, had found him. To help the Avatar in his investigation, Finnigan recommended he speak with Klog, the leader of the Fellowship Branch in Trinsic, about an argument Klog and Christopher had before his death. After the Avatar finished his investigation in Trinsic, he reported to Finnigan that he was looking for a ship called the 'Crown Jewel' and a man known as Hook. Satisfied that the Avatar was taking the murders seriously, Finnigan rewarded him with 100 gold coins and told him the password to open the gates surrounding the city walls, 'Blackbird'. As the Avatar continued his quest, Finnigan remained in Trinsic, overseeing the town. |

Husband of Ellen, Klog was the leader of the Fellowship Branch in Trinsic, often assisted by his wife in his tasks. When the Avatar first arrived in Trinsic via a red moongate, Klog greeted the Champion of Virtue and welcomed him to the Fellowship Hall. When the Avatar asked Klog about the argument between him and Christopher, Klog remarked that when Christopher stated he wanted to leave the Fellowship, he and his companions, Elizabeth and Abraham, merely tried to speak with him, but were verbally assaulted. During the night of the murders, Klog was at home with his wife Ellen, and when asked by the Avatar about a scroll and 100 gold coins found at Christopher's home, denied any knowledge of them. The same story surfaced when the Avatar asked Klog about the 'Crown Jewel' and Hook.
It wasn't until after the Avatar destroyed the Guardian's Cube Generator in the Meditation Retreat and obtained the Cube prism, that Klog became more useful in his search. Klog was indeed home the night of the murder, but only to preserve his alibi as Hook and his companion Forskis butchered the blacksmith. Christopher had been paid the 100 gold coins in exchange for the plans of the Black Gate pedestals, but when he reneged on delivery of the plans, the Fellowship sent the scroll as a warning. After the murder, Hook sailed on his ship, the 'Crown Jewel', but to somewhere Klog did not know. As the Avatar continued his quest to save Britannia, Klog remained in Trinsic, running the Fellowship Hall. |
