This guy is very likely Destiny's favored one, maybe even the child of fate in this era.
If you can't fight him, then hide.

Finn fanned the flames in the Northern Lands, bribed witches in various towers, hoped to wait for an opportunity to strike, and eventually cleared away obstacles, solidifying his position as the number one in the Witch Association.
