Thelonious Finch

Thelonious is a multidimensional travelling barrister who had been staying as the guest of the Countess at the D’L’Orange estate. He has tried and won at least three high profile cases in Aug Autal before, and the party has hired him to fight against Lazreal’s spirit’s application for citizenship in Aug Autal. He has made a number of entertaining moves since he was hired on the case, including verifying the Soul has no “prior cl  aims” against it’s citizenship, including putting out a subpoena for the testimony of the demon (or is it Devil?) Zesessna.

He was also called in and was offered a job by Vincent D’fornio, but while he explained to th e party the nature of the legally binding drinks, he declined the offer to work for D’fornio. The party has since put him on permanent retainer. When (to everyone’s surprise) Zesessna finally responded to the subpoena, Lazreal’s spirit fled back to Oldhollow and Ironscar declared the party an active Resolution Squad to “resolve” Lazreal. When the party confronted an apparently ressurected Lazreal, they were confounded by Lazreal's claim that if he was no longer a ghost they had no jurisdiction over him. The party sought a legal consultation with Thelonious via the communication link that Rupert wears, and that proved that the party's retainer of his services remains fortuitous. Thelonious had filed affidavits by Dr. Audimay charging Lazreal with the crimes committed at Hodemont Asylum. Since Lazreal had fled the jurisdiction and the evidence was previously submitted and stipulated to as fact in his ghost's citizenship trial, Thelonious was able to get him convicted in absentia, resolving the possible conflict.

He remains on retainer for the party and is apparently working on yet another angle for some benefit for the party, although he remains cagey about what this legal work might be.
