Finn Gerstatt

Finn "Fingers" Gerstatt is a ripperdoc in.

Biography
Fingers lives in Japantown, Westbrook in 2077. His clinic is located on the second floor of a run-down flophouse in a back alley of Jig-Jig Street. His clientele consists almost entirely of sex workers and drug addicts with little or no money. Fingers usually offers his ripperdoc services for free to new clients, asking them to pay only what they can, but this generosity is deceptive. The implants and prosthetics offered by Fingers are second-hand retreads at best, and at worst they are obsolete, damaged, or defective. These shoddy implants cause his patients more problems down the line, forcing them to return to him sooner or later out of desperation. Fingers then preys on them, groping them during procedures and knowing they will tolerate it because they cannot afford a more scrupulous ripperdoc.

Woodman goes to Fingers for help fixing Evelyn Parker's cyberware after she is infected with a potent virus sent by the Voodoo Boys and rendered comatose. When Fingers fails to revive her, Woodman leaves Parker with him as payment and washes his hands of the matter. Fingers continues tinkering with Parker's cyberware, but is unable to restore the registry chip and contacts his fixer, Wakako Okada, to get rid of her. Two Scavengers come by his clinic to pick up Parker, and Fingers overhears them discuss using her in their snuff braindances.

The merc V later traces Parker to Fingers and arrives at his clinic along with Judy Alvarez to interrogate him. After a roundabout conversation during which his repulsiveness provokes Judy into slapping him, Fingers tells them everything he knows about Parker to get them to leave, and then locks himself in his room. Should V choose to punch Fingers during the conversation, at their next encounter he will complain about his jaw having been broken and will refuse to offer V his services. Fingers may or may not also be killed by V.
