Brian

Brian Fitzpatrick is Paul’s next-door neighbor at the Tir Al Nog Apartments. His parents, Frank and Annie Fitzpatrick, own the apartment building. It is his presence on the third floor (a very nice set of apartments) that keeps the cost so low. Brian is someone who has to be seen to be believed. Despite his many faults he is otherwise brilliant. He is a mathematical prodigy and an utter wizard at accounting. He enjoys playing with fractals and game theory in his spare time. Brian is a legend in his field - both as an object lesson and as something to aspire to.

Brian’s career is a series of crash and burn disasters. He has made and lost several fortunes. During one of these periods he bought the Tir Al Nog Apartments and gave them to his parents as a tax write-off. Brian has either acquired and sold, or been fired from, nearly every major accounting firm on the west coast. (He scares other accountants.) Despite this erratic job history he has been able to make a comfortable living freelancing. Recently he has gone into partnership with his sister Rowan, opening up a storefront office across the street from Lysistrata Books in the Trout Debs District
