Biography
Finn Cooley was of Irish descent and operated as a former terrorist and soldier for the Irish Republican Army. He ran an active service unit in Derry from 1986 to 1993, at which point he was imprisoned for murder. After five years of imprisonment, Finn was released as part of the Good Friday Agreement. Before his arrest, Finn suffered a accident when attempting to rig a bomb at a Belfast police station which had gone off too soon, severely disfiguring his upper face. The incident forced him to wear a plastic mask that kept the flesh of his ruined face from falling off.

Soon after his release, Finn left Ireland and relocated to the United States. There he met Nesbitt and exchanged weapons with drugs with him, but the two never liked each other.

When Nesbitt died, Finn received a message declaring that he was the beneficiary of Nesbitt's wealth in his will. The rest of Nesbitt's money was to be distributed to their associates. Cooley sought to eliminate the other claimants to the fortune, which brought him into conflict with the Punisher in Hell's Kitchen. Finn Cooley died as a result of a bomb set up by Nesbitt.
