The loyal assistant of Eric Finch, Dominic Stone is a talented detective for the Nose who plays an invaluable role in tracking down V. Like Finch, Dominic seems to have misgivings about the morality of the Norsefire regime, though he’s less willing to discuss them than Finch is. After Finch leaves his post, Dominic rises to head the Nose, where he tries, with little success, to track down V. At the end of the novel, Eric Finch advises Dominic to “be his own leader,” but it’s not clear how Dominic will interpret this advice, or if he’ll obey it at all.
