Finn grew up in the town of Dublin in Hibernian. He showed a particular ability with communication and that along with his obvious faerie blood made it easy for him to be apprenticed to the Bard school of Baile Ui Eodhasa in Ulster. He passed through the training, spending his time entertaining in local taverns around the area. He was able to obtain the grade of Master Bard but given that his school had become unfashionable was not able to to gain a position with a noble house so he decided to travel, moving through England and then France, entertaining to maintain himself. It was during this time that he came across the Order of Hermes having witnessed a magical battle between a Tytalus and a Diedne. Having talked to the victorious Tytalus, who could not stop himself bragging of his victory over the new enemies of the Order, Finn decided that recording the great events of history would be a fine way to create unique stories for the retelling. Having accompanied a number of different magi over a couple of years Finn, having picked up a little of the lore of the Order, decided to accompany the party travelling back to England to participate in the, hopefully, final days of the Schism.
