Biography . Finn , a Human male , was a Sith Master who operated as a terrorist during the final years of the New Sith Wars . He took a young man as his Sith apprentice , training him in the ways of the dark side . Finn and his apprentice eventually traveled to a world and planted a bomb in a building . After concluding business with an individual , Finn and his pupil departed and detonated the bomb , which destroyed the building . As Finn and his apprentice made their way to their starship , they encountered the Toydarian slave master Lod and his slave , a young woman named Marka . When Lod ordered the woman to impress Finn and his apprentice , she refused , and he struck her . Finn ' s apprentice helped her from the ground and told Lod that he would not strike Marka again . When Lod called the apprentice a slave while talking to Finn , the man killed the Toydarian . Finn expressed his disappointment to the apprentice ; he rebuked him for helping Marka and punched him , knocking the young man to the ground . Finn then continued to the ship . After Marka helped the apprentice off the ground , he rushed to Finn and tried to tell the Sith Master that Marka had used a mind trick on him . Finn — having already recognized that Marka was sensitive to the Force — reasoned that perhaps she was why they had come to the planet , and ordered his pupil to deal with her . As Finn reached the landing pad where his ship was docked , the apprentice and Marka caught up to him via the same turbolift . Marka pleaded with Finn , reasoning that she could learn the Sith ways . He refused , stating that he had no use for a slave and that he already had an apprentice . In response , Marka seized the apprentice ' s lightsaber and shoved him off the building ' s docking pad , where he fell to his death . Finn then took Marka as his new apprentice . Personality and traits . Finn would rebuke his male Sith apprentice for displaying traits characteristic of Jedi , such as empathy . He also physically disciplined his apprentice when he felt that the man did something that was contrary to the Sith ways . During his time on the planet where he encountered Marka , Finn felt that the world was a god - forsaken rock . When he realized that Marka was Force - sensitive , he mused that she was the only reason that he and his apprentice came to the planet . After Marka became Finn ' s Sith apprentice , the Sith Master demanded absolute loyalty from her . Finn wore a set of black Sith robes , and had two tattoos under each eye . He had a scar on the left side of his face . Powers and abilities . Finn was strong enough to reach the rank of Sith Master . He was able to sense that Marka was strong with the Force when she and her slave master Lod approached him and his apprentice . Behind the scenes . Finn first appeared in the short comic " The Apprentice " , which featured in " Star Wars Tales 17 " and was written by Mike Denning . In the comic , he was drawn by David Nakayama . The story was later compiled into a trade paperback version and republished in " Star Wars Tales Volume 5 " . Plausible stories in " Star Wars Tales 1 " – " 20 " were initially viewed as S - canon , unless and until referenced in a non - " Tales " source , at which point the subject matter was elevated to C - canon status . Finn later received an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , which elevated the character ' s appearance in " The Apprentice " to C - canon .
