Description
Finn is a First Order stormtrooper serving under Captain Phasma and Kylo Ren, his codename "FN-2187" beginning as the only name he knows for himself. He was taken from his family when very young and has spent his entire life training to serve as a soldier.

Participating in a mission to the planet Jakku to retrieve information about the location of Luke Skywalker, he is horrified when Ren orders him to massacre civilians, an order his team follows without question. Phasma and Ren both notice his inability to kill, and Phasma instructs him to report for reconditioning to better follow her orders. Wanting to flee the First Order, he gets the captured Resistance pilot Poe Dameron to help him escape by piloting a TIE Fighter. While piloting, Poe dubs FN-2187 "Finn", which the otherwise nameless stormtrooper embraces and decides to refer to himself. The TIE Fighter is shot down and crashes on Jakku, and Finn assumes Poe to be dead once the wreckage of the ship disappears into a sinkhole, unaware that Poe had already been thrown clear.

Poe's astromech droid BB-8, now in the care of the junk scavenger Rey, recognizes the jacket that Finn is wearing belongs to Poe. Rey assumes Finn to be a member of the Resistance after mentioning that BB-8 has a partially completed map leading to the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Finn goes along with her mistaken assumption, hoping that she will help him get BB-8 to the Resistance. The three of them escape the First Order on the Millennium Falcon with help from Han Solo and Chewbacca. Han takes them to his friend Maz Kanata on Takodana, who promises to take them to the Resistance. Finn decides to continue to flee the galactic conflict, but changes his mind when the First Order attacks the New Republic and Ren's forces find them and take Rey prisoner.

Finn flies to the Resistance base, where he discovers that Poe is still alive and meets General Leia Organa, C-3PO, and the hibernating R2-D2. Finn reveals some details about the First Order's superweapon, Starkiller Base, and claims to be able to disable their shields. When he arrives on the planet with Han and Chewbacca, however, Finn reveals that he only worked in the base's sanitation section. Nevertheless, the team takes Phasma hostage and Finn forces her at gunpoint to disable the shields. This allows the Resistance to attack, led by Poe. They meet up with Rey, who has freed herself from captivity. Han confronts and is killed by Ren, but the remainder of the team continues on to escape. Ren confronts Finn and Rey in the woods, claiming that their fight is not over. Finn tries to fight Ren with Luke Skywalker's old lightsaber, but Ren bests him in combat and seriously wounds him. Rey then takes the lightsaber and defeats Ren, slashing him across the face. Rey and Chewbacca escape in the Millennium Falcon and bring the alive but unconscious Finn to the Resistance base for medical care.
