Personality:
    Finn is an unabashed flirt who will hit on just about anyone and everyone regardless of their gender or position in life. He uses his humorous and "Don Juan" mannerisms to keep everyone safely at arms length. Trust is not a trait that comes easy to him when he's lived a life surrounded by liars, thieves and all around scalawags. Despite his comical ways he is a man of action rather than words and when wronged "an eye for an eye" is his bread and butter. Anyone who has ever tried to steal from him has sorely regretted it and he's known to have a temper as quick as his wit. Besides his own principles on being stolen from, he does not offer the same privilege to others, liable to shake your hand while picking your pocket. His fingers are deft and nimble.
    Above all else he believes in loyalty to the crew. His men are his family and he treats them as such, making sure everyone gets their fair share and all their voices are justly heard. He may be the Captain and his word is law on his ship, but his crew's loyalty means everything to him. Though, as a Pirate, he knows to always trust another with one eye open.

History:
    He was born in Ziorang, a town of darkness and depravity, to a lonesome tavern wench who was taken by a drunken man. Unbeknownst to this woman, the man who impregnated her was a werewolf, the curse passing down to her son from his father whom he never met nor learned the name of. His mother was a hard-worked woman who suffered much in a town of ruthless individuals. She was a worn down and beaten woman who had grown meek and fearful of the world. It wasn't easy growing up in such a lawless town, watching your mom beaten and abused on the daily, but even harder yet when the full moon rose overhead and the wolf took hold, causing him to change into a beast with a bloodlust like no other. It was some stroke of the Gods that he never slaughtered his mother, his anger at her abuse driving him to take the lives of the men who wronged her.
    It took time before Finneas discovered how to cage the animal, chaining himself up and barring the windows and doors to keep the monster contained until the full moon passed from overhead and he was once more himself, however his prior rampages caused a stir among the people of his town, rumors of a beast from the hills that was slaughtering their people. It became dangerous for him to stay there lest they discover what he was and what he had done so he ran and took to the docks, looking for any way off this land.
    A Captain took him in, a stern man, but a man who figured out what Finn was and didn't turn him away, didn't pull a gun to his head, no. He helped him wrangle the beast on the full moon. Helped him learn to sail and care for a large Pirate vessel. Finn became his first mate at eighteen years old, was run ragged by the strict man who wasn't above taking a switch to his backside when Finn screwed up, but despite his coldness and sometimes even cruelness, the man had been the closest thing to a father Finn had ever known and when a scuffle with a military vessel left the Captain bleeding on the main deck of the sinking ship he passed on his Captain's hat to the young boy and told him to run.
    So Finn ran, taking a small rowboat and heading for a nearby port where he laid low for a time, finding_{- less than legal-} ways of raising some coin to accrue a small gang of his own. A gang that soon turned to his crew, a group of enough men to help him steal a vessel. A large ship, a gorgeous majesty of the ocean named "Damascus Blade" that he rode off in, sailing far and wide to find a port where he could use his small lot of wealth to refurbish the ship with his own flag, better sails and a new name. "The Wolfsbane".
