Marty Bullfinch is a disgraced ex-partner of Nick Valentine, found dead on the roof catwalks of Faneuil Hall in October 2287.
Background
Marty was a drunkard, lech, and skinflint mooch...[1] he was also a detective and treasure hunter. He and Nick never quite saw the world the same way; for obvious reasons. Mostly because he was usually passed out on the barroom floor. Neither Nick nor Ellie liked him,[1] although they both thought of him as an incompetent Nick did consider him a friend.[2][3]
After parting ways on very less than amicable terms – a long time after – he came back to the agency to get his old partner to help in his latest treasure hunt: The Gilded Grasshopper.[4] Nick refused, believing it to be another loony scheme by his drunkard friend.[5] Undeterred, he set off for Faneuil Hall to search for the treasure by himself. After making it past the super mutants – which recently turned the place into an encampment – he died on the rooftop catwalks.[6]
After a time[6] working through a small backlog of case files, Nick and his new partner will revisit Marty's case. Completely unaware of his death some time past they will search him out and uncover the hidden treasure of Shem Drowne. As the detectives return to the agency Nick and Ellie get a chance to solemnly morn over their friend. One whom they never particularly liked, nor respected. Now, they can respect him and his memory.[7][8]
