Fiinil Gibby

## Fiinil Roland Gibby

by hyperionwitch

**Fiinil Roland Gibby** is a High Elven rogue, spy and alchemist who is currently under the employment of both the Thalmor and The Company.

## Appearance

Fiinil is a tall and lean Mer, taller even than average for his people. He has light golden skin that is covered in freckles and plenty of scars, the most noticable being Werewolf scars across most of his body and scraping scars left from a long time of wearing shackles around his wrists, neck and ankles. His hair and beard has a gold-blonde colour and his eyes are bright green, almost bordering on yellow. While his whole look is rather roguish he does care a great deal about his appearance.

## Personality

Fin is a charming a flirty Mer that enjoys teasing and toying around with people. He is easily bored with places or activities, often seeking out the thrill of excitement and danger in such situations. He is loyal to a fault and would not shy back from anything to protect those he loves, be it family or friends.

On less of a surface level he is riddled with self-doubt and self-deprication, thinking no matter how much he improves he will never be good enough for a certain task. An attitude he doesn't particularly like to share with people since he struggles not only to emphasise with other peoples emotions but also with facing his own.

## Rumours

**Agent of the Thalmor:** While Fin is an official member of the Thalmor he is currently excused under the excuse of a family emergency that caused him to have to leave the Summerset Isles for a while.

**Underworld Reputation:** An Altmer going by "Gryphon" has by now accumulated a good reputation for all manners of infiltrations and heists in the Underworlds of Summerset and High Rock.

**Alchemical Apprentice:** Being largely self taught in the art of Alchemy, Fiinil is still very much a beginner with a great joy for experimentation and letting his concoctions blow up in his face. At least he sells his creations for cheaper than most others will.

## Relationships

### Fairna Gibby

*Twin-Sister*

Fairna is Fiinils twin sister, starting from their birth they were near inseperable, when he went to war in Cyrodiil, Fairna volunteered as well. When he dealt with shady people in the Alinor Outlaws Refuge, she did as well. When she decided to leave the Isles for High Rock, so did he.

While Fairna built a family of her own in the past years, her brother is still around her a lot. She is the most important person for him and he is one of her closest confidants.

### Hyaril Gibby

*Older Brother*

Hyaril is Fiinils older brother. He raised and kept him and their sister when they were forced to live on the streets and in turn Fin attempts to keep Hyaril happy. He encourages his older brothers desires to do things that are less responsible and attempts to get him to spend what he has left of his early life to finally get to enjoy himself.

### Benessa Gibby

*Adoptive Niece*

Ness is Fin's adoptive niece and the relative of his previous lover, Benny Two-Thumbs. The two aren't particularly close, though have grown past the initial awkwardness of their initial relationship. By now they are civil with each other and enjoy each others company when Fin is around his family.

### Narthil Eltaka

*Partner*

Narthil is Fiinil's superior in the Thalmor and his partner in secret. The two of them being an odd pairing, still grew closer quickly and by now are in a relationship that they keep hidden due to the class divide between them.

### Quin'Wra-Do

*Friend*

Rah and Fiinil share a complicated relationship. From being friends to lovers to having a strained, yet caring, ambiguous relationship, to their now renewed friendship and shared passion for freedom.

### Elarynia

*Friend*

Ryn and Fiinil are friends. Ryn is far out of Fins league in an academical sense, though the Altmer provides a nice change of pace for the Bosmer by being a welcome distraction for her busy worklife and a needed confidant for the solitary woman.

### Saoirse Moonfall

*Friend*

Saoirse and Fiinil are childhood friends. They met because of work her father did with his great-uncle, both of them bonding over their reckless behaviour and their love for teasing people. When Fin left the Isles in favour of Mainland Tamriel, Saoirse helped him out and travelled around with him for quite a while afterwards.
