HistoryEdit

Finn was one of the six sons of Esther and Mikael who were wealthy landowners from East Europe. He was born in the New World after his parents moved there when they lost their first child to plague. Along with his family, Finn lived in peace with the other members of their village, all of whom were werewolves. Each month they hid during the full moon so that they were not hurt by the transforming wolves. When his brother, Henrik was killed during the full moon after he and Klaus sneaked out to see the wolves, their father,Mikael, had Esther turn them into the first group of vampires in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

However, the object that granted their immortality, could also take it away, which was the ancient white oak tree. To prevent anyone from making a stake from the tree, the family burnt the tree to the ground. However, they would have other weaknesses including the flowers that grew at the base of the tree, a silver dagger dipped in the trees ashes could neutralize them temporarily and they would always have a constant desire for human blood.

During one such feed, Klaus killed a human which triggered a Werewolf gene deep inside him, revealing that Esther had had an affair years ago. Enraged, Mikael killed his wife's lover and his family, triggering the war between their races that would last centuries. Esther placed a curse on Klaus to prevent him from becoming a true hybrid however was it unable to prevent him from being immune to the neutralizing powers of the silver dagger (as werewolves are unharmed by silver). In revenge Klaus attacked their mother for betraying him and blamed it on their father.

Finn was daggered by Klaus in the 12th century and remained neutralized until the 21st century.

Season ThreeEdit

Finn appeared in Bringing Out The Dead where Elijah had

ressureccted him by taking the White Oak Ash dagger from his chest. Together with his siblings they took out their rage on Klaus before declaring that they would be a family without him. He was shocked when he saw his mother arrive, having been freed from her coffin too.

In Dangerous Liaisons, having had his hair cut and his shoes polished, he is seen at the Original Family Mansion alongside Kol and Rebekah. Finn spent most of the time with his mother at the ball, helping her with the preparations for the spell that would bind all of them together. Finn met with Elena Gilbert and said that his mother Esther is waiting for and that she needs to come alone, Finn is then with his mother until Elena comes and then he let Elena and his mother to have a little privacy. Finn was the only one who knew about Esther's plans for the spell. After his mother and

Elena talked she put Elena's blood in some wine glasses then served it to all of her children and they all drank from. Right after Damon Salvatore and Kol fell from the balcony, then the rest of the Originals went to watch as Damon snapped his neck. Esther then argued with Elijah while Finn waited outside the door, then Elijah left and Finn and Esther could continue what they had started. Esther then used Finn's blood to link him together with his siblings, then when it was done Esther said to Finn that they are now one.

Then in All My Children, Finn and Esther met with Bonnie and Abby Bennett. Finn helped preparing for the

spell with his mother Esther and the Bennett witches. Abby questioned why Finn wanted to sacrifice himself, and Finn replied "It's not a Sacrifice, it's a gift." Then Finn was neutralized trough Kol who was daggered by Alaric Saltzman. Later on the evening, while he was ready to be sacrificed, Klaus, Elijah and Kol arrived to interrupt them, allowing Damon and Stefan to kill Abby, thus rending the spell undo-able. When the 3 brothers came to confront their brother Finn and their mother Esther, Kol commented on Finn was her favorite son. Then When Damon turned Abby into a vampire, Esther couldn't do the spell, so Finn grabbed his mother and they both disappeared.

In Break On Through, it was revealed that Finn and Sage were lovers, and that he turned her.

In The Murder of One, Klaus appears as Finn is walking down the street. Klaus tries to convince him into helping unlink them. But when he realises that he can't convince, he uses force to take him down and brings him back to Mystic Falls where he reunites with Sage. They reminisce

about old times and Sage convinces Finn to go on living. Later they go to Grill where they shared a drink and he drank his first tequila, while Stefan is spying on them. Matt puts vervain into their drinks and Stefan lures them outside, where he attacks them. After Stefan fails, Elena and Matt suddenly appear at the Grill back door, and Matt stakes Finn in the heart, not knowing that Bonnie broke the binding spell before they succeeded, making Finn's death useless to kill Klaus. About an hour after Finn's death, Sage and Troy mysteriously died, which makes Stefan, Caroline and Elena realise that when an original vampire dies, every vampire descended from their bloodline dies along with them.

Physical AppearanceEdit

Finn was a handsome Original who appears to be somewhere between his twenties or thirties, given the time he was turned into a vampire by his mother.

When first awakened from being neutralized for 900 years, Finn still had the style of that time period, with long hair and adorned in the centuries old clothing. Shortly after his return, he cut his hair to where it was still a bit longer in length than his siblings and usually slicked out of his face, much like Elijah's hair was during his time attempting to stop Klaus from becoming a hybrid. Finn was seen wearing dress shirts covered by gray dress coats, keeping an air of aristocracy about him though not to the extent of Elijah's dress style.

PersonalityEdit

Not much had been shown of Finn other than a cold and quiet demeanor. However, he had shown his willingness to help his mother Esther kill his siblings, even though he was well aware that he would die as well.

In All My Children, it is mentioned by Elijah that Finn has always hated being a vampire. He said later in the episode that Esther's "released him from an eternity of shame"; and that his death is "not a sacrifice" but a "gift".
