Finn is a beggar in Britain in Ultima VI.
Description[edit]
Finn stood in front of Castle Britannia jokingly pretending to be Lord British in disguise to mix with the commoners. He even asked the Avatar to give him coins, so that the disguise was more convincing. Finn further claimed that Chuckles was actually Lord Blackthorn in disguise, and that the real Chuckles was tied up in the dungeon for making fun of Lord British's nose. He jokingly claimed to have 40 million crowns in his private bank account, and that he killed a dragon when he was eight by making the creature choke on him.[1]
Further jesting about the Virtues, Finn claimed that the eight mantras were do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do, and that he gave fake runes to the mayors of Britannia, keeping the real ones in a magical invisible box beneath his throne. When the Avatar left Finn, the beggar suggested in the future he would pretend to be the tavernkeeper of the the Blue Boar Tavern.
The Ultima 6 Project[edit]
This is an Ultima 6 Project-related NPC article or section. The information within may not apply to Ultima VI or other Ultima games.
In The Ultima 6 Project, Finn joked that Lord British's throne was a gift from the King of the White Dragon, but he had not seen this other liege for quite some time. He even laughed that he had his castle rebuilt and moved a few hectares because he did not enjoy the previous view. After repeatedly asking about the new location of the castle, and various humorous answers, Finn would finally break the fourth wall and admit, that the programmers wanted to be as faithful as possible to the original game.
Runes of Virtue[edit]
Finn would again appear in the Runes of Virtue series of games, where he introduced himself as "Honest Finn" who could "never tell a lie". Despite Finn's claims of honesty, all his hints turned out to be lies, and the hero was best served doing the exact opposite of what Finn suggested. Finn would also appear in Serpent's Hold, where he told the hero he was ruler of the keep until Sir Simon returned.
In Runes of Virtue II, Finn would again appear, but in Jhelom, where he claimed to be the Black Knight in disguise, and was keen on gauging the ordinary people's reaction to the loss of their beloved mayors.
