Finnian

Finnian is a main character in The Spoken Mage series. He is one of Elena's best friends, and he's the son of Duke Dashiell of Callinos, who is Head of the Healers.

Personality and Characteristics
Finnian is both "perceptive and mischievous" according to Lucas and spends much of his time putting others at ease. He has a friendly manner that demonstrates itself through jokes and over the top, exaggerative gestures. He is known for harassing the new healer recruits at his father's estate. He is a powerful mage and his father is Head of the Healers. This gives him an 'in' at court and he uses his influence for the benefit of his friends throughout the series. He is attracted to the bright Coralie of Cygnet despite her status as a less powerful mage from a minor mage family. He uses his exaggerative manner to hide his true feelings -- his own version of the 'court mask'.
