Waterdeep

A young male human bard with dark auburn hair that is perpetually unkempt, wearing noble attire styled with disobedience—sleeves rolled and collar undone. He has a knowing grin and bright eyes filled with mischief, often carrying a lute slung casually over one shoulder alongside a slim, decorative rapier.

Witty, clever, and unpredictable, Finn thrives in conversation, improvisation, and spectacle. He values freedom above expectation and delights in skewering the hypocrisy of noble society with a well-placed verse. He is not cruel, but he is deeply cynical—especially about noble tradition, familial duty, and the cost of legacy. Though he acts aloof, Finn is painfully aware that he’s a disappointment to his family—particularly to Fenn—and hides a deep, unspoken fear that he will never amount to more than a charming footnote in House Estelmer’s history.

Finn is the youngest son of Guldos and Dorma Estelmer, and while his older brother Fenn represents the proud tradition of House Estelmer, Finn is the cautionary tale. Raised among the books, relics, and tutors of the Font of Knowledge, he absorbed his family’s legacy—but rebelled against it at every turn. Rather than pursue arcane study or civic service, Finn sought life. He snuck into bardic circles at New Olamn, gambled at Mistshore, and slipped into masked balls wearing another family’s crest. His natural charisma made him beloved in taverns and tolerated at court, but his refusal to follow any path but his own has caused quiet frustration within the Estelmer ranks. As of the late 14th century DR, Finn is a social fixture among Waterdeep’s younger nobles and artist guilds, often seen stirring up political satire through song—or vanishing from town just before scandal catches up with him.
