==Backstory== Finn Fiorsleagh was destined for priesthood and had intended to dedicate his life to the goddesses Maerlwyn and Marwolaeth. He was devoted to his master and found himself in helping others. Yet through the rites of worship, he began to know of a place called in the feywild the ''Achenium''. A place where he could grow in knowledge and understanding of his place in both worlds. There he often found himself in an ash grove inhabited by dryads, most notably ''Brighde''. He grew to love ''Brighde'', both as a spiritual guide and as a lover. He never told his master as his tranquility was such that he saw no need. And so it was that ''Brighde'' grew to control Finn. She gifted him a remarkable fae ring by means of which he could communicate with his lover even in the mortal world. She sought his help in performing some inocuous tasks there; planting a sapling or protecting a grove (for he was an accomplished warrior and wielder of magics). He found that the ring protected him and he could even use it to bring forth lightning to strike his foes down. When ''Brighde'' bore her first child by Finn, he took his daughter through the mortal world to one of the ash groves he had nurtured. There he planted her and she grew swiftly into a beautiful tree, wither own grove about her. Under his lover´s direction, he established a number of such groves across the land. In some, he served the role of intermediary between his daughters and the peoples, usually humans, who lived thereabouts. In exchange for propitiation and protection, his daughter-dryads would allow the humans to coppice the ash for fine spears. And so, with time, he drited away from his church; his relation with ''Brighde'' became more one of mistress and servant than lovers. With time, he was asked to perform acts that he would have questioned before. His hands grew bloody and his mind grew troubled, but the century-old love that he had born for her maintained his resolve. And now he finds himself answering his mistress' every call and he finds her a harsh mistress. The gentle caresses are but a memory, but he still holds that ancient love in the centre of his being. '''Personality Trait''': I see omens in every event and action. The gods try to speak to us, we just need to listen. '''Ideal''': Charity. I always try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost. (Good). '''Bond''': I owe my life to the priest who took me in when my parents died. '''Flaw''': Once I pick a goal, I become obsessed with it to the detriment of everything else in my life. '''Binding Mark''': #
