Part 2/7:
The conversation opens with an intriguing inquiry: “Do you happen to have six fingers on your right hand?” This seemingly innocuous question unveils a deeply personal history tied to a six-fingered man, a figure who holds the keys to Montoya's anguish. The six-fingered man was responsible for the death of Inigo's father, a master sword maker who dedicated a year to creating a unique sword for him, only to be cruelly betrayed when payment was attempted to be renegotiated.
Inigo's father was slashed through the heart, an act that not only ended a life but also instigated a lifetime of questioning and heartache for Inigo. This formative experience left an indelible mark on young Inigo, shaping his future and instilling within him a fervent desire for revenge.
