Unlike other expansion heroes, Finneas seems to be modeled on an already existing hero, namely [[Thant]]. Additionally, Finneas's [[primary skill]]s differ from the other [[Necromancer]]s; they are:
Finneas is a campaign exclusive hero and is not playable in custom-made maps. However, his portrait is available in map-editor and can be chosen if a custom hero is created on the map. He is based off the hero [[Thant]].

After Sandro's first plan fails, Finneas appears to go along with his second plan (assassinating King Gryphonheart of Erathia and jointly invading Erathia with Nighon and Eeofol), but begins plotting how best to remove Sandro. When Sandro's plan is fully in place, Finneas secretly gives Sandro one last task: remove an over-ambitious Deyjan lord, Lord Smedth.
