Mr. Pinkerton

"Rigged it? Is that what you dare say Mr. Kellerman? NOTHING here is rigged!"

- Mr. Pinkerton's anger

Mr. Pinkerton is one of the fanatical followers of Hyraaq Tobit, King of Delphia, and he is one of the antagonists in the King Tobit saga. Mr. Pinkerton appears like a balding Southern American male with a ridiculous political-style hat; but he has a true form (barely described) what is revealed in the Afterlife.

Appearing cultured, sophisticated, measured, calm and reasonable to those he approaches, Mr. Pinkerton does not hide the fact he is a devout Satanist and will do horrendous things to those who fail to him or displease his master. He wishes to spread the word of King Tobit and has a very warped version of Christianity, that Tobit created humans, and he firmly does not believe in God.

Mr. Pinkerton first appears in the story at eleven thirty pm when Blain Kellerman is suffering from his coma-induced wife's injuries and physical state. Several weeks before, Mr. Kellerman had a car collision and he survived, but his wife was put in a coma and left in hospital. Kellerman did all he could to keep his wife "alive" but his wife's family said it was unethical to keep her alive when she was, technically brain-dead. So Mr. Kellerman finally came to accept that they may just terminate her life. So he took up a ritual him and his wife had, which rewarded them with a house, and their marriage - they used to pray to stars in the sky, so Mr. Kellerman prayed for his wife back. He had trouble finding a star due to him being in a city. But then Mr. Pinkerton knocks on his door soon before midnight and offers him a proposal.

Mr. Pinkerton suggests Mr. Kellerman make them both coffee because "he needs to be awake for this." Mr. Pinkerton then preaches about King Tobit and how he lived in a flying castle in outer space, answering the prayers of humanity, before he decided to come to Earth and make a city in Antarctica. Mr. Pinkerton says that Tobit will reward anyone with anything, as long as he is proven to have faithful followers. Mr. Pinkerton urges Mr. Kellerman to agree, because if he doesn't and Pinkerton leaves, his wife will die.

Mr. Kellerman thinks about all this, considering it shit, but then he suddenly has a nightmare where he sees King Tobit himself, and Pinkerton summons him to a town in the middle of nowhere. Mr. Kellerman is told from the librarian that the destination is either haunted, or full of Satanists, and Mr. Kellerman finally finds Mr. Pinkerton at his destination.

Here Mr. Pinkerton, who had seemed nice and charming beforehand, finally shows his true nature - he threatens Mr. Kellerman with eternal damnation in what appears to be Hell unless he pleases Tobit. He also puts a suitor, Mr. Peaty, in for Kellerman's wife, and Kellerman has to do a test of two questions to prove his loyalty.

He fails the test, such as what was his first date with his wife, what his wife valued most, and then he has to prove himself by bringing hot chocolate, what his wife loved, to Mr. Pinkerton, who watches in delight when Mr. Peaty kicks Kellerman over and smashes the cup.

Next Kellerman has to run a race against Peaty, and who wins will claim Kellerman's wife, and he has an idea and smashes burning hot chocolate over Peaty's face, but is sliced in the knee by Peaty later in the race and is almost doomed to Hell before Mr. Kellerman remembers that Peaty didn't show as much devotion as Kellerman did, so Mr. Pinkerton gleefully throws Mr. Peaty into Hell instead.

The next day Mr. Pinkerton resurrects Mr. Kellerman's wife, and Kellerman goes round to see her.
