Fingers, also known as the Sixth Blade, appears as a supporting ally whose presence is felt more than explained. His brief appearances establish him as a figure of quiet menace and competence, marked by his distinctive grey and crimson attire and calculating demeanor.
Description
Tall and thin with a narrow hatchet face that seems built for grinning, he wears a grey and crimson longcoat that hangs loosely on his lean frame. His hands are often tucked into pockets, and his sharp features give him an angular, almost predatory appearance.
