https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcqRuVf3Ikw

General facts

 * Fin started off as a background character, as a funereal attendent. He is now one of Osprey's sonas.

Design

 * He is somewhat based on Phoenix Wright.
 * His tie is a vintage tie, à la Oliver Hardy. This is a coincidence, as I hadn’t drawn ties that much, and didn’t know they had to be longer.
 * If Israel or Italy existed in the Pokémon world, then he -- along with his cousin Martha -- would be from there, not Alola. This maybe retconned in in the future, for the time being, his parents are from southern Kalos, which sort of corresponds to Italy.

Name

 * Fin is distantly related to Finbarr Holmes, and it’s reflected in his name.
 * Fin's full first name, Finnegan, is named after Finnegan's Wake, an Irish street ballad from the 1860s.
 * Coincidentally, his name is similar to the limb found on various marine mammals, fish, certain birds, and cephalopods, called fins. Coincidentally, he owns a, a pinniped, a marine mammal with back legs modified into fins (or flippers).
 * Fin’s surname is Mazel to reflect that he’s related to Martha.
 * Their surname is Hebrew and Yiddish for "lucky."
 * Ironically, his first name is similar to his wife's surname, Fen (pronounced "Fun" in Mandarin, however).
