Finnegan "Finn" Kazimir is a deuteragonist and potential love interest in When the Night Comes. He is a nearly 700-year-old vampire who leads Clan Kazimir. The clan currently lives in the Catacombs under Lunaris and roams the city at night. Finn can be romanced individually or in a poly route with Ezra. In addition to normal vampire abilities--such as super-strength, thralling, heightened senses, and accelerated healing--he is also gifted with mindreading.

## Appearance

Finn is tall and sculpted, with unfreckled grey-white skin and golden eyes. He can't blush. He has pierced, pointed ears, and his raven black hair is undercut, with the top sweeping to the left side. Lengthened fangs protrude over his bottom lip, which has a labret piercing. His left arm is an enchanted iron prosthetic. He has a tattoo of a crescent moon over his right pectoral, and three tattooed bands around his right forearm.

In the romance route, the player will get to see Finn's true form, with black sclera, red and black fissures on his face, black creeping up to the tattoos on his right arm, and a "battle mode" for his prosthetic.

## Background

Finn was sired in Aclea by Leviathan "Levi" Kazimir, a ruthless vampire who hunted humans for sport. Finn was turned against his will after Levi murdered Finn's fiancé, Gabriel, in front of him. Little is known about Finn's human years, though he does mention that he was an orphan and "didn't exactly have many friends". He followed Levi for centuries, hunting humans at Levi's behest. When the first Hunters were made on Revelation Day, the resulting backlash against vampires led Finn and Levi to flee to Eskria, where Levi continued his tirade. One human--Raven--was left to die by Levi, but something about her compelled Finn to turn her and take her in. The Clan settles in the Catacombs under Lunaris. Harry quickly tires of Levi's attacks on the citizens, and manages to defeat him in a duel, earning Harry the gnarly scar on his face. Finn is suddenly Head of Clan Kazimir, and he leads them with little purpose for a few years, still feeding on humans. Disheartened, Finn doesn't fight back when a Hunter chops off his left arm in a confrontation, nearly killing him. Ezra is the one to save him, allowing Finn to feed off of him, and nurses Finn back to health, creating his enchanted prosthetic. After that, Finn realizes he doesn't want to hunt to kill anymore, and Ezra offers for Finn to feed off of him permanently. Because Ezra is a witch, his blood is much more potent than a regular human's.

## Involvement

### When The Night Comes

The player first meets Finn in Ezra's shop in Chapter 1, after he emerges from a trapdoor in the back room. Finn first sees the player as a threat, pinning them to the wall, but all is quickly explained, and he apologizes.

In Chapter 2, the player runs into Finn in the graveyard that night. He apologizes again for the way he acted when they first met, and offers the player a handshake, and a truce. He also offers his help, if the player wants an "immortal opinion" about what's going on. They talk about Finn, and the basics of his background with Levi, his sire, who was killed by Harry.

If the player chooses to go to the Lunar Festival with Finn, you'll run into Ezra outside his shop and ask him if he knows where Finn is, after which he will invite you inside. In the back room, Ezra indicates the trapdoor in his floor and calls down it for Finn to hurry up. Ezra goes on ahead, and while the player examines a portrait of Ezra on the wall, Finn appears without a sound to ask if the player likes the paintings. He did them, after all. Finn locks up the shop with magic in his prosthetic, locking the door as well as the magical wards. As the two walk to the Festival, Finn explains that his clan is thirteen strong, and lives in the network of tunnels under Lunaris known as the Catacombs. The player has several opportunities to flirt with him on the walk. At the Festival proper, Piper and Finn banter before Finn and the player go off to look at the stalls, running into Ezra at the herbalist's booth. Later, the player can choose whether to let Finn lead them away from the fireworks, and if so, they will wind up on a walk on the beach to watch the display... before a scream in the forest draws the player away.

In Chapter 3, after discussing the incident with the fledgling in August's office, the player leaves headquarters and encounters Finn on the street. If they went to the Festival together, the player will bring it up, and Finn mentions that he's happy to discuss their date. There are a couple of opportunities to flirt with him, and then he shoos the player back to the Wolf.

The next morning, in Chapter 4, the player goes to the Catacombs to talk to Finn. She runs into Raven, the only vampire Finn has ever sired and someone he views like a daughter. Finn introduces her and they banter for a bit before he shoos her away, unlocking Codex Entry: Raven. Finn and the player talk a bit more about Raven before the player before he asks them what they came here for. The player explains their plan to infiltrate the dungeons and the role Finn will need to play. Finn agrees, requesting that the player look for a member of his clan, Fiero, who has gone missing. They talk more, about Levi and Fiero, before the player moves on to continue planning the infiltration.

### Romance

To romance Finn and unlock his achievement, go to him at the end of Chapter 4. The poly option with Ezra will appear in Chapter 5.

#### *Solo*

After the player chooses him in Chapter 4, they go to his room in the catacombs. Finn comforts the player as they try to explain what happened, and later will ask to kiss them.

In Chapter 5, Finn will assist the player in infiltrating the dungeon. They regroup at Ezra's house, where Finn attempts to distance himself from Ezra for the witch's sake. The player patches things up between them, and can choose whether to continue romancing Finn individually or to enter a polyamorous triad with Ezra. If they stay along the solo route, Finn will escort the player back to their room at the Wolf. The player can choose whether to kiss him, but regardless, before Finn can leave, there's a loud knock at the door. Finn opens it to find Aurora standing there, bloodied and injured.

Chapter 6 begins with Finn and the player questioning Aurora, When it becomes clear there's nothing more to be done at this location, Finn creates a distraction in the bar downstairs so the player can sneak Aurora out the back door.

The next day, the player meets with Finn in his room in the Catacombs to discuss what they and Piper found in the Catacombs, including Fiero. Finn says he's heard rumors about the Hunter initiation ritual, and that nothing is adding up, including what Harry has been saying. The player chooses whether to kiss him before continuing on to the others. Later that night, the group assembles to close the damaged Hell portal that they suspect is the source of these creatures. The player shoos August off toward the ritual, and Finn appears. The player chooses whether to kiss him before they head deeper into the woods to track the creature. Finn pauses to warn the player that if things get bad, he might shift into a slightly different form--his true form. Shortly after, the creature appears, and does indeed shift into his true form, the first time we see it. He helps the player take the creature down... the creature that fights like a Hunter. After the battle, Finn tries to tell the player to get away, obviously afraid he's going to hurt them. The player has the option to go to him, and if they do, they will help calm him enough for him to shift back. Almost immediately after, they pass out.

The player awakens in Finn's room in Chapter 7, Finn beside them. The player can choose whether to kiss them. He explains that though Ezra came by to heal them immediately, the player has been passed out for two days. After a short update on everything that the player saw while they were passed out, Finn shares what he knows about the origins of the Hunters, revealing that witnessed when the first Hunters were made on Revelation Day in Aclea. Even without the Initiation being in place at the time, the Hunters drove Finn and Levi out of Aclea, and they fled to Eskria. Later in this conversation, it's revealed that Finn is injured, and needs to feed. He mentions Ezra, who has been allowing Finn to feed off of him, and explains how they met. The player can choose for Finn to feed off of them, earning an achievement. Then the player has the option to either sleep with Finn or romantically spend a non-sexual night with him.

The next morning, in Chapter 8, the player wakes up beside Finn, nuzzled up to him. He didn't sleep, of course, but spent the night beside them anyway. After some banter, the player can choose whether to invite Finn to read their mind, and then whether to sleep with him. Either way, they're interrupted by Lux and Raven, the latter quite gleefully and claiming she only wanted to introduce the player to her partner. Finn shoos them out, and apologizes, but the player just laughs. Later that day, Finn meets up with the player to talk to Fiero before taking them back to his room. He offers the player a drink, and the player can choose to kiss him. He asks them to stay, but they have to go meet with August. The player tells Finn whether they plan to condemn or sympathize with Harry.

##### If the player condemns Harry:

In Chapter 9, the player returns to Finn's room after the meeting with Harry. Finn fetches some of his charcoal drawings to show, and tells the player his history with his sire, Levi, including how Levi murdered his human fiancée, Gabriel, in front of Finn. Though Harry killed Levi and freed Finn from his influence, that just goes to show that he's powerful. He offers the player his continued help, and then offers a distraction. The player can choose whether to kiss him, and spends the night with him. The next morning, everyone assembles in Finn's room to discuss the plan against Harry, then heads out into the night. After the fight with Harry and Aya and the player's decisions regarding Harry in the dungeons, the player runs into Finn outside of headquarters. He crushes you in a hug and, in a rush, asks the player to spend tonight in his bed--to spend every night in his bed, and live in the Catacombs with him permanently. The player doesn't immediately respond to to their injuries, and Finn strides off, flustered. Then he turns back as though remembering himself, and asks if the player wants him to carry them. Regardless, the player uses him for support, and accepts his offer to move in, as they had always intended.

Three months later, in Chapter 10, the player wakes up to Finn brushing the hair from their face. The player notes that though the Catacombs have a chill, a number of large pillar candles are scattered around that are enchanted to keep it warm enough. Finn teases the player, and they can choose whether to kiss or embrace him. Next, the player chooses whether to ask him if he wants to feed off of them, and if so, from the neck, thigh, or hip. Later that day, the player meets up with Finn, Ezra, and Alkar at Ezra's shop. Ezra watches in exasperation as Alkar and Finn arm-wrestle before he shoos them off and goes upstairs to get ready. Finn shoos Alkar out in turn, and makes plans with the player for after the ceremony. He then also leaves to get ready. Later that night, Finn attends the ceremony in which August, the new Enforcer Lieutenant-General, appoints the player to Hunter Lieutenant-General, a new position. Afterwards, Finn takes the player to the graveyard for some peace and quiet, and the two of them reflect on all they've experienced in such a short time, and their future together.

##### If the player agrees with Harry:

If the player agrees, all friends, including Finn, will treat the player with hostility.

#### *With Ezra*

Romancing Ezra at the same time will result in unique dialogues and gallery pieces. When doing the poly route, both Ezra and Finn will stand with the player against the Creature. After the battle, the player has the option to either kiss or embrace Finn before they pass out. After coming to, the player will awaken in Finn's room with Finn and Ezra beside them. Ezra has barely slept over the last two days, unable to rouse the player from their slumber despite them being healed.

The conversation turns to how Finn and Ezra met: Finn was seriously injured, resulting in the complete loss of his left arm. Ezra saved him, creating the enchanted prosthetic and healing Finn enough for it to take. When Finn realized that he no longer desired to hurt "people like [Ezra]", aka humans, Ezra offered for Finn to feed on him so Finn would no longer have to hunt. Finn also shares what he knows about the origins of the Hunters, revealing that witnessed when the first Hunters were made on Revelation Day in Aclea. Even without the Initiation being in place at the time, the Hunters drove Finn and Levi out of Aclea, and they fled to Eskria.

Later in this conversation, it's revealed that Finn is injured, and needs to feed. The player can choose for Finn to feed off of them, earning an achievement, or for Finn to feed off Ezra. The choice does not negatively affect your relationship with either of them. After that, the player can choose whether to sleep with Finn and Ezra or spend a romantic, non-sexual night with them.

In Chapter 9, \*\*\*\*

Three months later, in Chapter 10, Finn and Ezra will attend the ceremony appointing the player to Hunter Lieutenant-General. After taking the player to the marketplace, the three of them enjoy a walk on the beach, and the player thinks about the future.

### WTNC Mini Stories

#### Possibly a Chimera, Probably a Big Fucking Cat

##### *With Ezra*

The player returns home to Ezra's shop, where Finn and Ezra are waiting for them. Ezra and the player settle on either side of Finn on the couch. The player can choose whether to work off stress sexually, or have a group nap. Regardless of the choice, it's only a few moments before August knocks on the door. Begrudgingly, the player heads to answer a supposed Chimera report. One such report just turns out to be Raven, who lures the player into the Catacombs while in the form of a cloud of bats. While the player berates her, Finn appears, and the player can choose to either make Raven tell Finn what she was doing, or tell him themselves. After Raven slips off, the player gives Finn a hug before continuing on to the last place to check--the marketplace. They don't find any Chimera, but they do find Coco, and bring her back home to Finn and Ezra at Ezra's shop. Upstairs, the player can choose to sleep with the two of them, kiss them, or just fall asleep together.

#### Til Death

##### *With Ezra*

The player takes an evening walk through the woods with Finn. They meet up with Ezra, who is foraging for spell ingredients. The particular flower Ezra is picking, skeletal forget-me-nots, gives Finn the creeps. On the walk back, Ezra breaks off to the base of a tree, kneeling. When he stands, smiling, Finn confirms that this is the place where he and Ezra first met. The place where Ezra saved Finn, and Finn drank from him for the first time. The player can choose whether to have them retell that story. Then, the player asks Finn how vampires go about solidifying their mates. Finn says that it involves a lot of weird rituals, and suggests something more traditional... Then the player proposes, impromptu, and Finn and Ezra say yes. One month later, the player wakes in Finn's bed with their fiancées. The player can choose whether to "fool around" with them or go back to sleep. After they get up, Fiero and Raven talk to the player about how the player will be officially joining Clan Kazimir. It is tradition for the two of them to give the player their word that they will protect the player as they protect Finn.

At the ceremony, Ezra and Finn are dressed to the nines, and Ezra presents the player with the ring he made for them. It is silver in color and engraved on the inside with a crescent moon. The ring, like the two identical ones Ezra made for himself and Finn, is enchanted with Ezra's magic, which thrums with his heartbeat--the same beat that enchants Finn's prosthetic. The player is linked with both of them, always. The player can choose whether to kiss them or just embrace them.

#### Halloween

##### *With Ezra*

On the night before Halloween, the player takes down a manticore, but is trapped under the heavy body. Raven teases the player, but Finn appears and scolds her, flicking the manticore's body off of the player with a flick of his wrist. Finn sighs, noting that since Halloween is a treaty day--when all creatures, regardless of their hunting habits, agree to behave--the night before is when it seems they go crazy. After getting cleaned up, the player spends the rest of the night and most of Halloween day in the Catacombs with Finn, waiting out the daylight with him while Ezra decorates and then runs the shop. Around dusk, the player goes to Ezra while he closes the shop, and as soon as night falls, Finn appears from the hatch in the back room. He's wearing a sexy vampire costume, but he can't find his cape. Ezra has it at the shop, and the two of them and the player head to the party at the Wolf. Upon getting to the party, Finn is wide-eyed when he sees August's costume. He quickly distracts himself, going over to a table where Alkar and Piper are arm-wrestling. Ezra explains that August is dressed as the main character from their favorite book series, The Wizard's Staff... and that nobody else knows, but Finn is the author, under pseudonym Holden Magroin. Ezra entreats the player to keep this to themselves, since August would me mortified. Finn loses an arm-wrestling competition to Piper, and when you console him in the corner booth, he complains about not being able to use his full strength on her. He then asks to leave, protesting the smell of a large number of demons, and promising to make it worth the players' and Ezra's while. Instead of going back right away, the three head to the graveyard, lying on the grass and looking at the stars. The player can choose whether to treat Finn or trick Finn to end the evening.

### Living Dead Girl (DLC)

#### *With Ezra*

Following a tip from Alkar and Omen, the player descends into the Catacombs with Piper, August, Omen, and Alkar to find Finn barricaded in his room. Ezra is sitting outside the door after Finn refused to let him in. Hearing the others outside, Finn opens a sliding peephole to assess the assembled party. Finn is wary, and wants proof that Ezra isn't possessed--so Finn asks, "How big is my dick?" Piper protests that that's a horrible question, because half of Lunaris knows that. When Augusts scoffs that *they* certainly don't, Finn sighs wistfully, noting that it's not for lack of trying on his part and making August blush. Afterwards, you can choose how to convince Finn to let you in (either by scaring him--and earning an achievement--or by attempting to find common ground with the ghost). August threatens to come back with a warrant, and the player cajoles Finn to come out. Finn finally acquiesces, hurrying the assembled group into his room to discuss what he saw. There was definitely ectoplasm all over the trees, and though Finn didn't see more than footprints, he felt something touch him.

The team sets to work dragging Finn out of the Catacombs to head to Ezra's shop. Before he can climb the ladder, though, he starts to chicken out. The player can choose how to convince Finn to proceed--either by encouraging him, threatening him, or promising to make it worth his while. The player will then also plead with Ezra to not further antagonize Finn. If you choose to make it worth his while, Finn is intrigued--but demands more detail before proceeding. After casting a pointed glance at the assembled audience, the player declines, much to Finn's dismay. Only after some begrudging encouragement from August--suggesting Finn think of the inspiration for his next novel--does Finn finally ascend into Ezra's shop.

In the shop, Finn clutches a jar to his chest. Ezra quietly explains to the player that he gave Finn some "ghost repellent," which is really just paprika. After Ezra and August prepare, Finn is lured into the woods by the group, not knowing that he's going to be used for bait, since he's the only one who's had contact with the ghost. On the front steps of the haunted house, a sudden noise spooks Finn into dropping the jar, and he whirls on Ezra. The two of them bicker outside until the player calls Finn into the house. August prepares the summoning spell and begins chanting in Latin, which Finn complains makes him itchy. The summoning ritual works, and the ghost--Cassandra--appears, with her hands on Finn's chest. Finn, petrified, flees the house. After talking to Cassandra, the player reveals that Finn and Ezra are married, both to the player and to each other, and Cassandra apologizes profusely for "feeling up your husband".

After the ghost is banished, the player returns to Finn's room, where Ezra and Finn are reading on the bed. The player snuggles in between the two of them to destim, but it's barely a moment before the player is teasing Finn for his fear of ghosts. Finn, Ezra, and the player talk about ghosts for a little bit before the player confides that they feel selfish for having this happiness that so few Hunters are allowed to have. Finn and Ezra reassure the player before the three of them drift off to sleep.
