About
Tired and emotionally distant, Finlo's life is an unending cycle of violence and rebirth as he lives out a curse that was bestowed upon him for a crime he can't remember. He maintains a nonchalant approach in his interactions with others, hiding behind a mask of indifference. In reality, he’s suffering under a great deal of emotional pain and loneliness from all the things he’s seen and all the ties he’s had to leave behind.
Having lost countless friends, family, and acquaintances to the passing of time, Finlo is reluctant to form attachments. He only associates with others if they can help him fulfill a vision, since some of his visions are difficult to fulfill solo, but he’s also lazy and if someone else can—unwittingly or not—fulfill a vision for him, then he’s most certainly recruiting them.
Finlo's curse leaves him unable to truly die and bestows upon him powerful fire magic. If he’s killed, he’s reborn as a baby and has to grow up all over again while retaining the memories of his former lives. Once he reaches adulthood, he stops aging and must begin fulfilling his visions. He isn't allowed to kill himself and can't ignore the visions, which cause him physical pain if he isn't actively pursuing them.
His visions are orders from the being that cursed him and revolve around doing good; protecting certain individuals, hunting criminals, etc. Finlo isn’t shown the future and is haunted by nightmares of his past lives.

History
Finlo was born into a formidable clan of assassins, the youngest son of the clan head. He was a miracle baby that hadn’t been expected to survive, but he grew into a healthy child. His parents and older brother, Gilligan, doted on him alongside the rest of the clan, who viewed him as a bright spot in their daily lives.
When Finlo was little, he followed Gilligan everywhere he could, soaking up anything his brother would teach him. The clan would joke that Finlo was glued to Gilligan’s shadow and they weren’t wrong. He idolized Gilligan, who was shaping up to be the best assassin the clan had seen in several generations, his fire magic stronger than what anyone else in the clan could produce.
Finlo wanted to be strong like Gilligan, so he could support his brother when he eventually took over the clan from their father. On Finlo’s twelfth birthday, he immediately threw himself into training despite his magic not manifesting yet. Over the years, he proved to be an apt fighter, but without the fire magic of his family, he was nowhere near as capable.
When Finlo was twenty-five, Gilligan was poised to inherit their father’s title, who was stepping down due to chronic health issues. A sect within the clan saw the opportunity to seize the title for themselves and sent a strike team to kill Gilligan. Finlo took the killing stroke meant for his brother.
The last thing Finlo remembers before he died was Gilligan unleashing his magic all at once on their attackers. Whatever happened after that is a mystery because Finlo woke up as a baby decades later, born into a different family and country. The visions started on his twenty-fifth birthday and over time—and several deaths—he realized the nature of what he could only call a curse.

Relationships
Elkee is a bit of an enigma to Finlo, who rarely meets other immortals. The fact that she’s been around longer than him and can still maintain a positive attitude annoys him. Ever since their first encounter where she saved his life, they’ve been linked by her magic. They cross paths often and Finlo would by lying if he claimed he didn’t harbor feelings for her. She always seems to find him in his darkest moments, helping to offset his loneliness.
