Finn is the ne'er-do-well of Knobs Mine, spending is time singing, playing and avoiding "honest work" with all his power and abilities.

Dáirine, his mother, is a drunkard and his father unknown.

His mother claim that his father is the brother of the current baron, but he has never meet him and his neighbors claim that it is a fancy tale born of excessive drinking.

He has learned his letters (and how he love writing and reading) from the local cleric of Ilmater and at the same time he has learned to despise that faith. The idea of accepting your fate, doing hard labor day to day to simply be able to eat, never enjoying life, is anathema for him. He hate even more the idea of enduring duress and never trying to rebel, something that is the core of that faith.

His great beauty and low social station made him the target of much bullying when he was young, he did run away a lot at the time. In more recent years, after he has grown up, he has learned to fight back and deeply hate bullies.

He make his living (and sustain his mother and sisters) selling his healing magic, mending broken items (using the mending spell, not his hands), some small larceny and singing during the town celebrations or in the locals (if there is any in town). He supplement his meager income hunting small animals, he is surprising good with the sling. He has even learned to channel a bit of his magic in it.

Know living member of the family:
- his mother Dáirine, a 45 years old alcoholic that work as a seamstress. Each of her sons has a different father, the men all left her after some time. The problems linked to her alcohol dependence have made her almost unable to work. She isn't a mean drunk, but suffer from bouts of depression. with all her defect she did all she could to raise her sons and daughters well.
- his elder brother Mark, 28 years old. He left the town 8 years ago to seek to make a fortune. he wasn't ever heard after that.
- his elder sisters Finnabair (28) and Deirdre (24) and the smaller one, Siobhán (14).

Finnabair is married with a woodcutter and help the family as much as he can;
Deirdre is working as a seamstress and is single, she has a deep distrust of men, she live with the family;
Siobhán is weak and suffer from Down syndrome. She is a sweet person that is becoming a woman but has the mind of a child. Some people say that she was cursed for Dáirine sins.
Finn love his family e feel that he should protect Siobhán as he is the man of the family. He has even considered finding what others call "real work" to be able to better care for her.

He has a very bad relationship with the local cleric of Ilmater. Initially he was seen as one of his best students for his ability to rapidly learn, but the different world view between the two lead rapidly to fights and the priest fell he has stolen his teaching, using them to bad ends. He even dare using healing magic while refusing the god. The priest fear he is under the influence of some dark deity.
The priest despise and fear Finn, while Finn only feel contempt for him.

He has a hate-hate relationship with Biff, the son of a local guardsman, that bullied him during his younger years.

Future goals:
- learn more magic to heal Siobhán. He has learned a bit of healing magic, maybe if he can become strong enough he can heal her (or remove the curse if it is a curse). He has heard that there is some magic that cure addictions too, maybe he can cure his mother too?
- become rich enough to be able to live without working and to be able to care for his family. From what he hear, it is possible to live splendidly singing and writing poetry outside this town ... that is fun, not sweat work!
- find a soulmate that will live with him forever. He don't want something that will last only a night. Deep down he is a romantic.

Fear:
- losing his mind. The idea of something that can break your mind and make you stupid or unable to decide for yourself send cold sweat down his spine.
