Orval Finkus
Colonel - Orval Finkus was imported from the Character Data sheet. This profile needs a player-facing bio review.
In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, Orval Finkus was encountered as the farm’s performative southern-hospitality “Colonel” figure. He framed himself as protector/provider for Castro-displaced dragonborn refugees, but his possessive “my dragonborn” / “my nest” language and worker fear made the farm morally ambiguous. Several dragonborn workers went missing under his watch; he offered payment if the party found and returned them, praised the black dragonborn’s recovery, and continued to present the farm as hospitable while remaining suspect.
