Dominic Stone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dominic Stone is a fictional character from V for Vendetta. In the film, he is played by Rupert Graves.

He is Chief Inspector Eric Finch's Detective Sergeant; Finch's last DS was killed in a Scottish National Army attack a few years prior.

[edit] Graphic Novel

Stone helps Finch try to unravel the mystery behind V, a masked terrorist trying to take down the Norsefire regime. It is he who discovers the connection between V and Larkhill. After Finch appears to vanish, Creedy approaches him and attempts to gain his support in the coming coup. Dominic (loyal to Finch) ignores him. He is later found by Evey Hammond, disguised as V (as V was killed by Finch).She saves him from an angry mob and brings him to the Shadow Gallery. He will likely become the third V.

[edit] Film

When V raids Jordan Tower, Dominic comes close to capturing him. However, he is maced at the last second by Evey Hammond and is subsequently knocked unconscious by V.

He and Finch attempt to find V and Evey and stop the 5th of November plot. Dominic accompanies Finch to meet William Rookwood (V in disguise) where they learn the true events leading up to the St Mary's virus.

At the end of the film, he is seen among the citizens of London at the destruction of the Palace of Westminster, marching with the followers.

It could be said Dominic is of less importance in the film than the graphic novel; although he appears more often in the former, Finch discovers most of the vital information pertaining to the investigation. In the graphic novel however, Dominic pieces together most of the clues and eventually takes over the case, and in the end is taken to the Shadow gallery.
