### Early Life

Finn was born on the Ark. He was childhood friends with Raven Reyes, giving her his food when she needed it, and when they were older they began dating. For her eighteenth birthday, he found a way for her to have a spacewalk. However, they did not follow proper procedure, resulting in the Ark losing 2 months worth of oxygen. Since Raven was 18, she would have been floated for the illegal spacewalk, so Finn took the full blame for the crime. Per the Ark's laws, he was sent to the Skybox, where he was to be imprisoned until his eighteenth birthday.

Later on, as Murphy, Bellamy, Wells, and Clarke begin their search for Jasper, Finn catches up with them. Finn is quick to break up an argument about taking off Clarke's wristband and Clarke points out that Finn is better late than never. Finn agrees. They finally find Jasper tied to a tree. Clarke falls in a trap, a huge hole with grass covering the opening, which is presumably made by the Grounders. Finn and the others help pull her to safety. Finn and Murphy go to cut Jasper free of the ropes holding him on the tree. Finn helps the others bring Jasper back to camp. Later, Bellamy is cooking and serving the other campers an animal that was shot after trying to attack the group who were searching for Jasper.
