Mayor E. Pluribus Fink, Esquire is a Mobian Mouse and the low-level mayor of Hedgehog Village on Bygone Island in the Sonic Boom Zone.
History[]
While in the Village Center, Mayor Fink caught Dr. Eggman trying to advertise his unorganized Eggtoberfest and had the doctor go through some procedures before giving him a permit.
Personality[]
Mayor Fink is a typical politician - a fast talker out of both sides of his mouth. Loud and confident, he feels in control, no matter the situation, even if he has no idea what he’s doing. This leaves him with an overconfident and aloof attitude regarding his choices, regardless of how certain they are to be proven wrong.
Fink often prioritizes maintaining his own political position above all else, like when he worked more on getting reelected than dealing with the threat of Lyric (whom he only worried about in case he ran for office). He would often go as far as to lie about the town’s expired Meroke Crystal to avoid prosecution by the public. A glory-grubber as well, he has been known to take credit for others’ work to further his own political campaigns. He does not stand by any specific policies either, as he is willing to do a lot of flip-flopping during election campaigns.
Fink comes off as irresponsible and lazy about his political responsibilities. He tends to ignore the more critical situations in the Village that demands his attention, and he spends much of his time in the office either doing nothing or slacking off instead of actual work done. He also displays a general lack of attention to the public’s demands and behavior. Despite his flaws however, Mayor Fink does care about his village, and can buckle down and do his job when needed. Whenever there is a big event underway or an issue that demands his presence, he is usually at the front to oversee or manage it, and does so with a charismatic attitude. On a few occasions, he has even been willing to step in and help Team Sonic when troubles are afoot.
Mayor Fink is a strict follower of the laws of the Village and follows the rules and code of conduct to a “T” despite how dire the situation might be.While he does not let his position of power go to his head and can reluctantly prioritize his duties over his own activities, he is not above taking the easy route to a solution or manipulating the situation for his own benefits, like squandering his town’s money on himself.
It is apparently shown that Fink has extremely low tolerance for mistakes among his subordinates, as demonstrated when he announced inauspiciously that he was firing his speech writer.
Background Information[]
Mayor Fink first appeared in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and found Team Sonic coming to Bygone Island. He requested Sonic to restore the run-down parts so he could take credit for it and win favour for his re-election as mayor, regardless that he ran unopposed After the team had restored the town’s areas, he congratulated them for a work well done on his behalf.
