Fabulous Von Finklemann

The leading luminary in the field of prosthetics is, by his own declaration, Friedrich von Finklemann, late of Nuln. Amongst his triumphs was a clockwork hand that could open and close (proper timing during meals is essential) and a false leg for the leading lady of the Nuln Imperial Theatre, which nobody noticed until the day she died when it failed during an up-tempo dance routine.

Sadly, Von Finklemann’s Rocket-Assisted Leaping Legs proved disastrously unsuccessful and Herr von Finklemann has felt obliged to relocate to someplace more out-of-the-way. Characters who wish to make use of his services may find rumours of his latest inventions appearing in the streets of Ubersreik.

His most famous innovation is certainly Von Finklemann’s Fantabulous Finger-Gun, several copies of which have been made. Sadly, even this wondrous device is marred by tragedy, as one worn by the absent-minded Graf Thomas von Grunhoven was left loaded during a formal ball and discharged directly into the chest of his cousin and rival, Gregor von Grunhoven, during introductions and salutations. Gregor was killed instantly, leaving a wealthy widow who fortunately was soon wed by Graf Thomas.
