During his squireship with the White Knights, the knight he was serving under was captured by the Kinshra along with himself. The knight was killed, but he was offered a place within their ranks as a spy within the White Knights. He took them up on this offer, and for years served the Kinshra secretly. Sir Justrain, a fellow White Knight, suspected a spy within the ranks, but he was unable to identify Sir Finistere as the spy and so left the order in disgrace. He was ordered to free a prisoner, the Kinshra knight Gaius, from White Knight custody. He did so, killing the guards guarding Gaius.
