Finnbare "Finn" Bradyis the son of John Constantine (Vertigo Universe)'s sister, Cheryl Constantine (New Earth). He was abandoned at a hospital when Cheryl was 14, and was adopted by nurse Eva Brady and lived in Ireland most of his life. He is noted to have been saying that he is a former doctor, and thus the rich setting he lives in. When he first appeared in Hellblazer #293he was looking at the corpse of a sheep in the field of a local farmer. He would eventually also suffer from nightmares, only to find that his children had found a dead cat on their porch. He later also blames himself for the death of the same farmer later on, when he find the dead corpse of the farmer along with his own bloodied hands holding a knife. After arriving home, he fell asleep, only to wake up and enter the kitchen, meeting John Constantine for the first time.

John explains that, due to the nature of their Constantine blood, Finn was not responsible for those killings. John identifies himself as his uncle by sharing his knowledge of his abandonment as a baby.Sia rushes in and shoots down the rope that is tying her husband, which arouses the kids. Epiphany Greaves (Vertigo Universe)takes Sia outside, while John and Finn talk inside. John interrogates Finn on the recent murders that the cops had tasked him to solve, however Finn does not have an answer for them at all. Epiphany reveals the existence of a step-brother, and John shows Finn the power of 'magic', with Finn saying that his uncle is a witch. However the magic spectacle was created by Epiphany in order to convince Finn. Finn returns into the house with John to find spells on his table sent by his brother Declan Brady in the form of poems from the poet Yeats. John recites the poem, only for a demon to appear and kidnap Finn. John attempts to save Finn, but Finn succumbs to the spell.

Finn reappears in his home after Eva Brady's animated corpse kills Declan. He falls to the floor asking about his uncle, while his wife comforts him with the likelihood that he is winning. When John returns, he leaves, with Finn telling John to stop his smoking habit. After John leaves, Finn and Sia walks on the beach, with Sia telling him that she had attempted to tell him about Declan. However Finn states that with that, he would have never met John. Saying that he isn't likely to see John again.

After John's death, Finn appears at his funeral too along with other members of family like Gemma Masters (New Earth). This leads him to search for Epiphany and help her fight of Julian (Vertigo Universe), a demon who took the form of John. Finn reveals that, while studying John, he realised that his spells never made any sense, and that the magic lay in the presentation, not the words. Both Finn and Epiphany develop feelings for each other, and have had a few intimate moments together. It is revealed that his meeting with John drove Finn into an obsession with magic and the dark arts, going in so deep that he even dug up the head of a corpse, which pushed his wife to move away to Canada with the children. He is last seen with John telling him, while Finn was drunk, for him to forget John and the dark arts and to get a life back. Finn eventually also helps them find a home, that he believes the Fates would not find.
