Ronan Strathallan

Ronan Strathallan is the Head Waiter at Rourkes, a private dining club where Findo Gask first meets Dalgrin Balloch.

Strathallan is unusually pale-skinned and only moderately tall, but seems more so because of his extreme thinness. He has slender and sensitive fingers, cadaverous features and habitually wears a tuxedo and black bow tie.


One of the cast of characters from the Findo Gask series of hard-boiled fantasy detective novels by Trevor Hopkins.
