Appearance

Finn is a lean, athletic human man with long jet black hair, usually tied into a practical bun when he is working. He has sharp gray-green eyes, a curled black mustache, and a carefully pointed goatee. His weathered face carries a perpetual half-smile, as if every danger is an amusing secret. He favors dark green and brown clothing, a supple leather coat, soft woodland boots, and a weather-stained crimson scarf taken from the first nobleman he ever robbed.

Mannerisms

Finn rolls a coin across his knuckles while thinking, taps the side of his nose before telling a lie, and gives every arrow a quiet name before loosing it. When challenged by authority, he offers an exaggerated bow and calls the official "Your Most Honorable Robbery."

Personality

Finn is charming, irreverent, and intensely observant. He remembers the names of shepherds, stable hands, and village children, but deliberately forgets the names of nobles who boast about their ancestry. He prefers a clever trick to a fair fight, though he has a strict personal rule that no trick may endanger an innocent bystander.

Ideals

Justice belongs to the people. Law that protects greed is only a better-dressed form of banditry.

Bonds

The people of Briar Glen sheltered Finn when the law declared him a criminal. He will risk everything to protect them, expose the magistrate who robbed them, and recover the land deeds that were forged to dispossess their families. He also carries his mother's old iron pendant, the only keepsake left from home.

Flaws

Finn cannot resist humiliating a powerful enemy when a clean escape would be wiser. He also assumes that anyone wearing a badge, crest, or signet ring is guilty until proven innocent, and he has a dangerous habit of treating his own folk legend as if it were a tactical advantage.

Quirks

Leaves a carved wooden hawk at every successful rescue.
Can identify most birds by their calls but gives them theatrical personalities.
Keeps stolen signet rings as trophies, though he never sells them.
Whistles three notes before entering any unfamiliar clearing.

Background

Finn Hawthorne was born in a hamlet that paid taxes twice, once to the crown and once to the local magistrate who claimed to collect them. His father was a charcoal burner, his mother a hedge healer, and both taught him that the forest was not empty land but a living neighbor. Finn became an exceptional hunter, tracker, and archer, learning to read broken fern stems, bird calls, and boot marks in wet soil. When a greedy baron seized the village grain stores during a hard winter, Finn stole the keys, opened the storehouses, and scattered the grain among the starving families. By dawn, he was a wanted man, and by the following week, songs about the Black-Bun Archer had begun spreading from village to village.
