Finn (Japanese: フィン Fin) is a Lance Knight from Leonster. He appears as a playable character in both generations of Genealogy of the Holy War as well as in Thracia 776.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
First generation
Finn serves as a vassal to Prince Quan and Princess Ethlyn of Leonster. The three arrive during Sigurd's initial battle with Verdane to reinforce him and help rescue Edain. Finn continues to accompany Sigurd through his travels in Verdane and Agustria before parting ways with him in Silesse so that Quan can raise an army to aid him. Finn is left behind in Leonster with Quan and Ethlyn's infant son Leif, and is not present for the Aed Massacre; King Travant of Thracia murders Quan and Ethlyn, steals the Gáe Bolg, and abducts Princess Altena. After Arvis conquers Jugdral, kills Sigurd, and restyles Grannvale into an empire, Finn flees into hiding in Thracia with Leif and Lachesis.
Second generation
Finn continues to serve as Leif's vassal. He, Leif, and Nanna are cornered by Bloom's forces, forcing the three to hold out until reinforcements arrive led by Sigurd's son Seliph. Afterwards, he becomes the sole member of Sigurd's former entourage to serve in Seliph's liberation army, accompanying him for the rest of the war with Grannvale and the Loptr Church.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Finn is a reliable mounted unit who holds the unique title of being the only character who is present and playable in both generations. For combat, Finn's stats are balanced but decent and he has the almighty Pursuit/Follow-Up skill, allowing him to follow-up attack slower enemies. His personal skill, Miracle, drastically raises his avoid when he is at low health. While dangerous to rely upon in open battle, it can save Finn's life in desperate situations. Through conversations with Quan in chapters 1 and 2, Finn can pick up a small stat boost and the Brave Lance, drastically increasing his damage output. Finn will also be one of the few units who can wield the Silver Lance (after promotion), allowing the player to potentially trade the Brave Lance away to someone like Erinys.
Unfortunately, Finn leaves Sigurd's army in chapter 3 with Quan and Ethlyn; but as said before, he comes back in the second generation, giving Finn the best availability of any unit in the game. Finn's high chapter count means he has access to more Arena fights than any other unit. Finn is also the only unit besides the late-joining Altena who can "inherit" the Silver Lance between generations.
As a father, Finn's primary contributions are Follow-Up, and Miracle. Miracle can be useful on units who otherwise would have a hard time surviving in combat, such as Lene or Patty. When married to Lachesis, Finn can grant Nanna +5 Speed with a conversation in chapter 7. However, despite seeming like an attractive option for a father, there are two negative factors to letting Finn marry anyone. First, none of the second generation sons are capable of inheriting lances from Finn. Second, Finn will lose his entire inventory and be stuck with an Iron Lance in chapter 7 if he gets married (which means the player will also lose immediate access to the Silver Lance), greatly cutting down on his ability to defend Leif and Nanna in that fight.
Overall, Finn is a solid combat unit who brings utility and damage to both generations of Genealogy.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Finn is a Lance Knight who joins the player army at chapter 1, though he will not be available during the Munster chapters. Because he is higher leveled than most of the players army by that point in combination with his somewhat low growths (though not very low by Thracia standards) many people consider Finn a Jagen-type unit along with Dagdar and Eyvel. This is supported by the fact that Finn gets less EXP from killing earlygame enemies so he's usually used to capture enemy units in the earlygame instead.
He comes with the Brave Lance, a powerful lance that's exclusive to Finn, which allows him to always attack twice and gives him +10 luck when equipped. While the Brave lance makes Finn into an offensive powerhouse at the start of the game it's recommended to trade him a weaker weapon as, despite having 60 uses, there are better uses for it later in the game and Finn can usually do just as well with a regular iron lance. Finn also comes with the skill Miracle, a skill that saves it's user from a lethal attack if it activates, miracle activates based off of luck and as such is too unreliable to use consistently, despite Finn's high luck and will only be useful in rare occasions.
Finn is also one of the few character to posses a leadership star, this improves the hit/avoid of all units by 3%. As Finn is forced to dismount in indoor maps, as well as forced to only use a sword, his offenses will be vastly inferior to those in outdoor maps. As such Finn makes for a great filler unit in indoor maps as leadership stars are quite rare in FE5 and Finn doesn't have to do anything for it's effects to work on the players units and so doesn't risk getting Fatigued during those maps.
Overall, Finn is an excellent unit that provides great combat, reliable capturing and utility with his Authority. Sadly he's not available during the Munster chapters, arguably the hardest chapters, but otherwise he's useful on every map and scrolls can be used to boost his somewhat mediocre growths ensuring that he'll never fall off.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Finn is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the Thracia 776 character set. He is also present as an enemy in the first and third installments of the Lost Bloodlines DLC series.
As with several other legacy characters in Awakening, there is a unique weapon named for Finn available through the Barracks or event tiles: Finn's Lance.

Personality and character
Finn is shown to be a loyal and dutiful knight, with incredible loyalty to both Quan and Leif. He's shown to be somewhat inexperienced in the first generation Genealogy, but still catches Quan's attention enough to receive the Brave lance from him and then be given the duty of protecting Leif. In the second generation Finn is shown to be far more experienced, but also shown to be rather unemotional, as Leif states that he has not cried or laughed in years due to the hardships he has faced. Though he still has some emotional moments, such as when he's shown crying after seeing Altena again. Because of the lack of resources in Thracia after escaping the empire with both Leif and Nanna, Finn had to starve himself for both to receive food daily and nearly died, but was helped by Eyvel.

Endings
Thracia 776
Lance of Legend
After hearing word that Leif had safely taken the throne, Finn suddenly disappeared. It was three years before he was seen again, reappearing just as suddenly as he had first vanished. No historical records exist of where he had gone or what he had been doing during his long absence. The only evidence that remains are strange rumors that he had been seen in the Aed Desert.

Trivia
- Finn has the best availability of all characters in Genealogy of the Holy War, being available in a total of 9 chapters. This is due to him being the only character in the game to be playable in both Sigurd's and Seliph's tales.
- In Genealogy of the Holy War, due to having a high amount of love growth with Brigid and Tailtiu, Finn can have either of them as his lover just after several turns in Chapter 3, even if they do not come in close proximity with each other.
- This was done because Finn automatically leaves the player's control at the end of the chapter. If the player wishes to have Finn fall in love with one of these two characters, this is the only opportunity to do so.
