George Finley

George Finley, a character from the "Courtship" series, is a former servant in the castle turned murderer and revolutionary. He first appears in Episode 1. He can potentially die in Episode 10.

George Finley originally appears as a castle servant for Queen Rosamond and one of the few people who knows the truth that she forced you to impersonate a noble. In Episode 7, he poisons the Queen's teacup, which results in her death in Episode 8.

In Episode 9, he confesses his crime to you, and you get to decide his fate in Episode 10 by either helping him escape or turning him over to the guards. If you help him escape, he later sends you a note that explains his motivation for killing the queen. This changes depending on your previous decisions.

One motivation is that he felt the Queen was an unfair ruler who was too harsh on the commoners. He also tells you that Jacqueline deGraaf recruited him to her cause and that she was the mastermind behind the murder.

Another motivation is that he was convinced to kill her by Princess Cecily, who was displeased with the decision to be lenient on the rioters and call for a peaceful resolution. Cecily wanted her path to the throne cleared and charged George to do so as he believed in her vision for the future of the kingdom.
