Creedy dies when Alistair Harper betrays him and murders him. He seeks to replace Adam Susan as Leader, who he sees as weak and ineffective. Peter CreedyĬreedy is installed as the new head of The Finger after Almond dies. Her bitterness at the injustice of society builds over the novel, leading her to assassinate the Leader with a pistol. Initially Derek Almond’s wife, Rosemary begins stripping after running out of money when her husband is killed. V kills Almond at Delia Surridge's house when Almond's gun turns out not to be loaded. He is emotionally distant and abusive to his devoted wife, Rose. Head of The Finger, Norsefire’s secret police force, Almond is a cold, arrogant man, fully assured of his organization’s abilities and reach. The trip helps Finch free himself and the novel closes with him deciding to leave London and live according to his own rules. Later in the novel, Finch takes LSD and visits Larkhill to help him understand V's mind. He is a rarity in government as he is actually morally upright and strives for integrity. Eric FinchĮric Finch is a detective who heads the branch of Norsefire known as The Nose, analogous to the FBI or MI6. In place of normal human life, he instead venerates Fate, the super-computer surveillance network that manages the United Kingdom. In pursuit of his ideals of a fully culturally and racially homogenous United Kingdom, he relegates all non-white, non-Christian, and non-heterosexual members of society into concentration camps.
He values order as well as cultural and racial homogeneity above civil and personal liberties, seeing the latter as frivolities and a threat to national security in the long run. He serves as the organization’s face and coordinates most of its operations. The Leader (Adam Susan)Īdam Susan is the Leader of the Norsefire Party.
She begins the story with long blonde hair midway through the story, V shaves her head as part of a simulated torture to help Eve free herself.
Eve had been an orphan and turned to prostitution. Evey HammondĮvey "Eve" Hammond is a sixteen-year-old girl who V rescues at the beginning of the story and trains as his eventual replacement in his fight against the fascist regime. V often quotes literature when speaking, and has a penchant for theatricality. V is a fearless, skilled fighter who shows an immense tolerance for pain, which he developed after being injected with a trial chemical at Larkhill Resettlement Camp.
V's true face is always concealed under a Guy Fawkes mask, wig, and black cape. V, the novel's protagonist, is an enigmatic anarchist revolutionary who systematically eliminates the leaders of Britain's fascist Norsefire government.
