Finn

"Your father's life-long dream was to see the war torn Thracia Peninsula united. You must keep his dream alive, for you are the only one who can pull it off now."

- Fin

Fin (フィン, translated Finn in fan adaptations) is a character from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is a knight of Lenster, who once served Cuan in the events of Generation 1. He is the only character in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu who appears as a playable character in both Siglud and Celice's tales.

Fin was in Lenster during the massacre of the Battle of Barhara, and this essentially saved his life, allowing him to flee Lenster with young Leaf, whom he had sworn to protect with his life. During the intermission, he raises Leaf on the behalf of Cuan and Ethlin, and Nanna on the behalf of Rackesis.

In Thracia 776, it is hinted that Fin spends three years looking for Rackesis after the events of the game, but his attempts proves to be futile.

Overview
Fin is first made available in the Prologue Chapter of the game, specifically at the begninning of the third turn. At this juncture, he may seem out of place due to the enemy forces mainly comprising axe users, but his solid growth rates will help to offset this. As aforementioned, he is the only playable character available in both generations, and is thus definitely worth using as a combat unit.

There has been mixed review as to whether Fin should be paired up or not. Some players feel that Fin should not paired up, as this will result in him returning in the second generation with an Iron Lance, limiting his usefulness as a unit. Others recommend pairing him up with Rackesis, not just for the +5 Speed bonus to Nanna, but also for the context of Thracia 776.

Conversations
In Chapter 1, if Cuan speaks to Fin, Fin will gain one point of strength, one point of skill, and one point of defense.

In Chapter 2, after Heirhein Castle is captured, Cuan may speak to Fin, and Fin will receive the Brave Lance.

In Chapter 7, after Darna Castle is captured, if Fin is the father of either Nanna, Rana, or Lakche, he may then speak to his daughter. This will result in Nanna gaining five points of speed, Rana gaining five points of magic, and Lakche gaining five points of skill.

In Chapter 8, Fin may speak to Leaf, and Leaf will gain three points of strength.

In Chapter 9, after Grutia Castle is captured, Fin may speak to Altenna, resulting in her gaining three points of HP. This conversation may not be initiated if Hannibal speaks to her beforehand.

Love
Fin is unable to fall in love in the Second Generation, but is a potential father for the female playable units of said generation.

Overall
In this game, Fin starts off with the Brave Lance, a weapon that is now made exclusive to him. With this weapon on hand, Fin has the potential to evolve into an extremely powerful unit, due to his ability to double attach and the bonus luck (10) he receives from said weapon. Furthermore, this weapon is extremely useful in employing enemy-capturing strategies in the game.

Ending

After seeing Leaf take the throne, Fin disappeared. Three years passed before he showed himself again. There are no records on what he was doing in the time he was gone. Some claim to have caught a glimpse of him in the Yied Desert, but these are only rumors.
