Biography[]

Ed Finney was the executive assistant to art collector Raymond Beaumont in California. Ed officiated the purchase and delivery of a statue of the Zoroastrian deity Ahura Mazda. While supervising delivery of the crated artifact with Beaumont, Ed watched as a drunken crane operator, Mickey Torelli, caused a mishap, which resulted in the crate slipping from its chain. It plummeted down and crushed Ed Finney to death.

The destruction of the statue led to a series of events that involved the appearance of an evil Djinn, who was obligated to grant three wishes to a woman named Alexandra Amberson. Following a string of horrific events, resulting in Alex wasting two of her wishes, she finally made her third wish, which was to make sure that Mickey Torelli was not drinking on the day of the shipment delivery. As such, the past was altered and the crate never fell on top of Ed Finney.
