Darius Finch
Darius Finch (a.k.a. The Well-Dressed Gentleman, the Gent)
Darius is a handsome Ivy District rake sometimes known as the “Well-Dressed Gentleman,” (or simply “the Gent”) for the charcoal and cream-colored noble’s outfit and black cloak he wears. He carries a polished ivory walking stick and saunters with a sanguine swagger, a slim rapier confidently strung to his belt. He wears his loosely styled blond hair in a ponytail, and always seems to be smiling. Darius frequents several Ivy District taverns, where he is a welcome fixture. Rumors suggest that he was drummed out of his noble house by his older sister, Lady Kythes Finch, but he uses his silver tongue to talk his way around inquiries about the scandal. He is well-connected, and has friends in every social circle in Absalom. The commoners call him “the wealthiest pauper in Absalom.” His expertise in manipulating people and ferreting out the city’s secrets are as legendary as his spending binges when he gets a few coins to rub together. He is otherwise homeless, and relies on the beds of several upper class women (most of them married) when he cannot afford to rent a room in an inn.
