Fintan the Cleaver – Mad Capper Enforcer

Fintan the Cleaver – Mad Capper Enforcer

Fey, Goblinoid (Barbarian, Fighter)

Crouched low upon chipped flagstones with one clawed hand splayed against the ground, Fintan brandishes an oversized notched meat cleaver rested behind his shoulder while dangling a severed game fowl by its bound feet. A flat driver’s cap sits pulled low over intense, heavy-browed eyes, framing long swept handlebars, a pointed beard, and runic amulets draped across his chest. Keepers setting ambushes within labyrinth corners, ruined hedge estates, or cobblestone alleyways will find this Artifact delivers grounded physical tension and manic threat directly to the grid.

Tabletop Lore

Drawn into the maddening corridors of tangled planar mazes, the Mad Cappers traded their mundane trades for manic territorial slaughter. Fintan serves as the prowling butcher of the hedgerows, stalking through tight hedge turnings to collect meat and grim trophies from trespassers. Bound by twisted hospitality and razor-sharp grudges, he hoards fresh kills while testing the nerve of wayward travelers, greeting uninvited guests with a sinister glare before hacking forward with his notched iron blade.

Highlight

A menacing low-crouch skirmisher featuring an oversized butcher’s cleaver, dangling fresh fowl trophy, dual rune pendants, and an expressive bearded portrait under a peaked cap.

Encounter Insight

Deploy Fintan as a feral labyrinth stalker, erratic meat peddler, or ambush shock minion in tight dungeon corridors. His low three-point stance makes him natural for scurrying beneath low archways, leaping from blind corners to trip heavily armored vanguards, or demanding bizarre trades before initiating sudden close-quarters melee.
