[b]Description:[/b] Finnick is an older man, with his age being quite evident from the stress he's undergone in his life. However, the mage is still quick to 
laugh, fight, dance, or whatever else he feels like. Finnick is almost always seen wearing a robe, and makes sure his white beard is well trimmed.

[b]Background:[/b] Finnick was born on the eastern coast of Ferelden, and spent his late teens as a slave to a Qunari raiding party. There, he worked in a mining camp, relying on his wits to save himself from death. Whether by luck or the Maker's intervention, even Finnick doesn't know, he began to manifest a strong connection to the Fade, allowing himself great magic capabilities. However, he had never received any training, and was barely able to stop himself from causing his own gory demise while he used his newfound talents to slip away from the camp.

Even with the cruelties done to him, Finnick holds no grudge against the Qunari, but does hold a grudge against their doctrines and belief system. Likewise, while traveling the world, he learned of the cruelties that the Chantry were capable of, and quickly began to despise them.

Finnick spent his later years advancing his own magical talents, and studied unorthodox magic. During one test, he accidentally interrupted a Harrowing test, and slayed the demon before the mage in training was able to. After introducing himself to the novice, he created a plan to rescue the elf, and to get some select items from the Templars that housed her. Paying off some less than loyal Templars, Finnick was able to launch a small raid, which to his own surprise, went of surprisingly well. Not that he would admit he expected anything else.

[b]Items:[/b] Finnick has a staff with him, originally created by a Dalish elf, Finnick has added his own traits and quirks to it.
