character

Sir Ferdinand

Ferdinand

The adjudication participant who had to be coaxed down out of the rafters, delaying proceedings.

Story so far

During the Quorum Adjudication, everyone was forced to wait while, in Baroness Victory's words, "that idiot Ferdinand" came down out of the rafters. The delay was long enough for Victory to check The Financial Feed and confirm that the transaction funding Rosetta's people had cleared.

His undignified perch in the rafters is thus, entirely by accident, the reason Rosetta learned her primary mission was complete when she did.

Appearance

Was up in the rafters of the adjudication chamber and had to be brought down.

Role

Adjudication participant whose antics accidentally created the window for Victory's check.

Relationships

Baroness Victory — Calls him an idiot for holding up the adjudication.
Quorum Adjudication — Delayed it from the rafters.
