Edward Flint
Edward Flint was the owner of Wester Drumlins in 2021. He was sold the house by his cousin who was an estate agent.
On 12 January 2021, Larry Nightingale contacted him to express concerns about his property. Mr Flint requested that Larry stop pestering him. A couple of days later, on 14 January, Larry contacted Mr Flint again to apologise. He invited him to supper at his house, which Mr Flint accepted. He would later reflect that the dinner was "just a stunt", and he wouldn't "be bought by a simple pot roast".
On 19 January 2021, he sent an email to Larry. This was regarding recent renovations at his property, and requesting that Larry refrain from harassing him with "outlandish tales", to the extent of threatening legal action if he persisted.
On 7 February, Mr Flint again contacted Larry to complain about his behaviour. Larry had apparently contacted the council in an effort to stop the renovations on the cellar of Wester Drumlins being undertaken by Flint. He threatened to contact his lawyers and the police against Nightingale, noting that the Chief Constable was an old golfing friend of his.
On 9 February, Flint texted Larry to state that he knew Larry had shown interest in buying Wester Drumlins. Larry stated that there had been a misunderstanding and shared an article titled "The Drumlins Disappearances". Flint found it "poppycock".

Petronella Osgood assumed Flint wasn't living in the property while it was being renovated, but warned her contact, Ayesha Green - who was investigating Wester Drumlins, to look out for him just in case.

Flint later attempted to video call Larry, but - unbeknownst to him - a civilian picked up instead. Flint said that he was devastated to hear about "Natalie", but threatened Larry to end his fixation with his property. Contractors had reported seeing a figure on the grounds on several occasions, so he had upgraded his security. By this time, he appeared to be developing a stone-like infection on his face.

Aliases and nicknames[[edit] | [edit source]]
Natasha Nightingale referred to him as "Fuzzy Flint" on at least one occasion. Larry suggested that "Fussy Flint" might be a better nickname, but Natasha felt this was "unoriginal". (GAME: The Lonely Assassins [+]Loading...["The Lonely Assassins (video game)"])
