“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, Fin) is a knight of Lenster, who once served Cuan. He is Leaf's guardian (on behalf of Cuan and Ethlin), and is somewhat implied to be Nanna's father in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is the only character in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu who fights in both Siglud's tale and Celice's tale.

Fin was in Lenster at the time of the Battle of Barhara, which saved his life and allowed him to run away from Lenster with young Leaf. During the intermission, he raises Leaf on behalf of Cuan and Ethlin, and Nanna on behalf of Rackesis.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, after Leaf takes the throne, it is hinted that he spends three years looking for Rackesis, but he seems to never have found her.

In-Game

Fin first is available in the Prologue Chapter at the begninning of the third turn. At this point, he may seem out of place due to the enemy forces consisting of mainly axe users, but he levels nicely, and he is the only character that is available in both generations, so he is definitely worth using eventhough he is not as useful in second generation as he would in first generation.

In Chapter 1, he receives stat boost from Cuan if he talks to Fin, and in Chapter 2, he receives the Brave Lance from Cuan if Cuan talks to Fin after Hierhein Castle is captured. In Chapter 3, due to the fact he is one of the few characters that can attack from both 1 and 2 squares away (with a javelin) and still do sufficient damage, he is recommended to help defeat Eltshan's Cross Knights in Chapter 3.

In Chapter 7, Leaf and Nanna need him to protect them against Blume's forces since neither of them is strong enough to survive without him. If he is not leveled properly by this point, it is advisable to send Phee to assist the Lenster Trio and hope to survive. Obviously, he will need a Javelin by Chapter 3 to help defeat the Cross Knights, but you can give away his Brave Lance to someone else if you want, because as long as he's promoted, he can fight just fine in Chapter 7. Therefore, it is recommended to promote him during first generation.

Some people say he's best left unpaired since he will only come with a Iron Lance if he's paired, but some people recommend pairing him with Rackesis for mostly story reasons concerning Thracia 776 and the +5 speed boost to Nanna.

Conversations

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

In Chapter 2, after Hierhein Castle is captured, Cuan can talk to Fin, and Fin will gain the Brave Lance.

In Chapter 7, after Darna Castle is captured, if Fin is the father of either Nanna, Rana, or Lakche, then he can talk to his daughter. If it's Nanna, she will gain five points of speed. If it's Rana, she will gain five points of magic. If it's Lakche, she will gain five points of skill.

In Chapter 8, Fin can talk to Leaf, and Leaf will gain three points of strength.

In Chapter 9, after Grutia Castle is captured, Fin can talk to Altenna, and she will gain three points of HP. This is not accessible if Altenna talks to Hannibal first.

Love

Fin cannot fall in love in the Second Generation, as he is a potential father for second generation female units.

Love Growths

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

In-Game

In this game, Fin starts with the Brave Lance, which is the weapon he received from Cuan, and with it, he can be very powerful since in addition to the automatic double hit, he gets 10+ luck. Also, his perfect weapon allows him to be one of the best people to capture early on.

Statwise, Fin might not be as good as someone like Carrion, but again, it's his weapon that gives him the advantage. Also, he supplies a leadership star, which is just another benefit of using him.
