bio: (At least three paragraphs OR 8-10 key points diving into your characters history, current situation, and why they fall where they fall in the war.)

tw: murder, implied abuse

igor was born in the deep winter and grew up as the only surviving son of sofia and delyan karkaroff. his parents were very distant in their affections for most of his life, towards him and each other it seemed, and when they were around they became extremely harsh on their boy for even the smallest of misdeeds.

igor always preferred solitude to social activities. as a child he was one of the few children of his age who lived in the village and so he did not make friends until he attended durmstrang. even then, they were never close friends or easily made.

he excelled in many classes at durmstrang, but none more than the dark arts. with a reputation to uphold, and the mark of grindewald carved into the wall he needed to walk past every day to get to his lessons, it was easy to become inspired and push the boundaries of what people called 'normal' magic.

with his families wealth propping him up, he became used to the finer things in life, and that has remained true from childhood to adulthood.

tension in his village, in his homeland, had always been fraught between muggles and wizards, much like with many countries, no-one knew what to do about the other. outbursts were common. ignorance, violence and disorder were often seen as the norm and so supporting the dark lord had raised no questions from him or eyebrows from his family.

he had not planned to set foot within the united kingdom, preferring as he always had to aid the dark lord from afar, but when the dark lord gave him a direct order to find away to make himself available, he could hardly refuse.

the DADA professor of the previous year had been old and scatterbrained -- who knew why he suddenly disappeared? perhaps he simply forgot the way to his own classroom?

igor is not surprised by the muggles attack, and though he is rather impressed, he had no doubt that they will be crushed very quickly. moving from one hostile country to another, he is no stranger to secrets, lies and murder. in fact, he feels quite at home.

two positive traits: resilient, caring two negative traits: insecure, brooding

bio: (at least three paragraphs diving into your characters history, current situation, and why they fall where they fall in the war.)

TW: Parental Death

There isn't much to say about Logan that hasn’t already been said about the other Buchanans, what with their close knit relationships well known to all those around them.

Logan was born on an oddly chilly autumn night, second in the family, only a few years after his older brother Cooper, to Fiona and Filip. He was a quiet, but alert baby and developed a close bond with his older brother, mimicking his behaviour towards him, when Ethan and then Maisie also came along.

Like his brothers and sister, Logan began displaying signs of magic at a very early age and by the time he was six could be found in his room, his hands working furiously with pieces of parchment, folding them into muggle style origami creatures while a book floated in front of his eyes, the pages turning every time he gave a little nod.

When he left for Hogwarts, like Cooper before them, he had found it hard to leave his siblings. Their home was a sanctuary and they had always been his best friends, as well as his siblings, but he had consoled himself in the knowledge that Cooper would also be there. Being sorted into Ravenclaw came as a surprise to Logan, but not to many others.

By the time Logan was a third year, he was president of several clubs and holding study groups with members of his house. When OWLs approached, he found himself tutoring students in preparation, sometimes at a professors request and sometimes by his own offering. It was around this time that he realised how much he enjoyed teaching, and that he was rather good at it.

With no vacancies at Hogwarts upon graduation, aside from one that was supposedly cursed, and no desire to leave the country and his siblings behind, he looked into the Ministry and found himself a job teaching apparition. After several months, and a yearning to take on more responsibility, he became an examiner for the Ministry, visiting wizarding schools and the homes of those who were home-schooled, invigilating exams within the Ministry itself and even visiting foreign Ministries to ‘lend a hand’ from time to time only.

Logan would prefer not to take sides in a war, though morally he knows where his head lands. Fighting was never his strong suit. if his siblings ever needed him, or they were adamant that he needed to choose a side, then he would stand with them and let the chips fall. When his parents passed away, he found himself pressing closer to his siblings for support, and struggling to push away the feelings of guilt that accompanied their deaths.

Two Positive traits: Curious, Smart, Artistic Two Negative traits: Snarky, Calculating, Jealous

Three plot points/character arcs you would like to explore: + Nope + Nada + IDK

Bio: 

Second born son of the Belby family, Markus did not grow up knowing the same pressures and responsibilities as his older brother. Born and raised in a little port town in Wales, he found that unlike his older sibling, he was not pushed the attend every social event or society dinner, and though he was provided with the same lessons as Damocles regarding how to be a proper pureblood male, he did not experience the same severity of scolding as Damocles when he couldn’t grasp one inane concept or another. His parents always told him he could try again later, or that he was doing his best, something which he suspected rubbed his brother up the wrong way. 

Like many generations of his family before him, when he arrived at Hogwarts he was sorted immediately into Slytherin and found that he settled in well among the snakes, despite his distinct lack of ambition or direction. It had taken several years for him to notice the mouse's stares, always hastily pulled away whenever he turned towards them with a curious frown and a shake of his head. When she had first approached him and spoken, he had been taken aback by her squeaky voice and hadn't had the chance to respond before he was watching her run away. The next time he had seen her, he had caught her alone and nudged her until she spoke again. He had found himself quickly swept up by her after that.

Things changed for him towards the end years of his time at Hogwarts, with his brother getting disowned by his parents and suddenly, their attention turned to him to bring honour to the family name. Since he hadn't any idea what he wanted to do after he finished Hogwarts anyway, other than the drawings that he kept to himself and his little mouse, he accepted the responsibility on one condition; he would choose his own partner, or they would be down two sons, not just one. Reluctantly they had agreed, though they had never hidden their displeasure, and Markus had done his best to shield her the best he could.

Though the Belby family appear to have thrown their support behind the Dark Lord, Markus has always been unconcerned with the war and the idea of pureblood superiority. He came from wealth, good family and good teachings, but he decided long ago that it wasn't for him to hold it over someone who did not. He could pity them, but he did not believe they needed to be eradicated for their parentage. However, if called upon, Markus will do what is needed to keep his family, and his little mouse, safe from the list of casualties of war.

Two Positive traits: + Loyal + Capable + Humorous Two Negative traits: - Forgetful - Tactless - Odd

Three plot points/character arcs you would like to explore:

+ some relationships with quidditch players and their teams, maybe contracts with them to design certain brooms or repairs.

+ possibly a ship, he’s a bit of a dumb ass though

+ I would like to see how the war threatens his business

Bio:

born on a snowy morning in late january, arkie grew up in the care of two normal pureblood parents, under what might pass for ordinary circumstances within their community. the family were not overly wealthy, but they made enough to get by and arkie never went without as a child. if he wanted something, sooner or later he would receive it. if he wanted to study, or play, or create things, his parents encouraged him to push his mind and explore the endless possibilities available to him. by the age of ten, he had read nearly every book in his father’s library and when his time came for hogwarts, it came as no surprise to anyone when he was sorted into ravenclaw.

his time at hogwarts passed with very little incident. he had a handful of friends and was friendly to everyone in his house and most of those outside of it. he found himself in the position as a chaser for the ravenclaw quidditch team and from there, began studying broom design, making modifications to his own in order to improve it’s performance. after a while, he began taking the broomsticks of his teammates, repairing them and modifying them so that even those with cheaper, older broomsticks, would not feel so out matched by those with the flashy, more expensive versions. 

he designed his first broomstick when he was twenty, working in the broom shop in diagon alley which sold all the latest models. he hadn’t expected his designs to be picked up by a national quidditch team, but once they had, demand for them grew quicker than he could keep up. soon he was designing for various broomstick makers and after a while, he made enough money to open his own shop for repairs. as well as designing brooms, he loved to repair them. he knew how costly a new broomstick could be for some people, and never wanted anyone to be denied the opportunity to play quidditch or simply soar through the sky, weightless and carefree.

the war affected his business of course. fewer people able to buy brooms in need of repair, but makers still wanting their designs. his daily trade is slow and not the bulk of his income but he gets by, and spends much time and great care on the work he does receive. never being too high in the pureblood hierarchy anyway, he does not particularly like the order or war but he has supported them for years either way. everyone with magic flowing through them, or not, has something to offer the world and he won’t hear otherwise, even if it gets him into trouble, or costs him in the end.

Two Positive traits: + Hardworking + Friendly + Artistic Two Negative traits: - Secretive - Reserved - Sour

Three plot points/character arcs you would like to explore:

+ someone finding out who her mother was and exactly what she did.

+ a tragic ship / a fun ship / a hateful ship / anything

+ to be pushed into taking a side in the war, either corrupted or persuaded

Bio: 

she pretends that she cannot remember her mother. when asked if she can remember who she looked, what her voice sounds like or how her sweet smelling perfume used to choke her when they hugged, she lies. moving through her life, she learned to recite the same thing perfectly, over and over again, until even she began to believe her own story; my father is a widow, I never knew my mother, but I am okay with that. not everybody needs a mother...

in truth, vereena remembers everything. she remembers the day she ran into the house from the garden, just in time to see aurors placing shackles around her mothers wrists. she remembers the dementors flanking either side of her as she was dragged from the house. she remembers how they felt, the chill of them still haunting her dreams as an adult. she is told that as she stood behind her uncle, peering out from between his legs, she screamed for her to come back but the only things she can remember is her father screaming. yelling. cursing at everyone in the house.

in the few years that followed, she changed from the inquisitive, sociable little girl to a quiet, reserved child, tiptoeing around the fragile emotions of a father whose grief had turned to anger. questioned such as ‘why did they take her?’ and ‘when will she come back?’ were met with stony silence, or glares that pierced her so violently that she recoiled, and learned to live comfortably with never knowing. though in the back of her mind remained a lasting thought that whatever her mother had done, must have been bad. life sentences in azkaban weren’t lightly dolled out, after all.

entering hogwarts, her father told her that he was glad he had never married her mother. vereena could go by her father’s last name and her reputation would not be tarnished by her mother’s imprisonment, before she had a chance to create one. while studying she made friends and she worked hard. and always, she recited her lines perfectly; my father is a widow, I never knew my mother, she died, and so often that soon, the questions from her peers stopped. but the questions from inside her never did. when she was fifteen, she let her curiosity get the better of her and finally found out for herself why her mother had been arrested.

the truth shook her to her core. from that moment on she never spoke of her again, not even to say that she was dead. after graduating, she focused on her love of art, colour and theatrics and joined a theatre company that travelled for several years around europe. never on stage herself, she spent her days designing costumes and losing herself in the art of faces. she focused on changing someone known into someone completely new with a flick of a brush, and not a wave of her wand. she knew what she was doing; escapism wasn’t a new concept to anyone within the group. they all ran from something.

a few years later she returned to london, and after some persuasion from her father, joined the ornate theatre staff backstage, working on the actors costumes and make up. she keeps herself to herself, working hard on immersing herself in her own little world, fearing always that someone outside might connect the dots between her and her still imprisoned mother, and that it will ruin her. in the war she steers clear of either side, rationalising that the less she is involved, the less likely she is to have her secrets unearthed.

Two Positive traits: Competitive, Outgoing Two Negative traits: Indecisive, Immature, Crabby

Three plot points/character arcs you would like to explore:

+ Ludo will not be able to play Quidditch forever. He loves Quidditch, but in years he is getting closer to 'retirement age' and with several injuries under his belt, he is unfortunately having to look into contingency plans.

+ He's a big quidditch star with fame going to his head. It would be fun to see if anyone could put with him long enough to deflate that ego.

Bio: 

Ludovic Bagman was born on the 16th of May in the early hours of the morning as drops of rain pelted the windows of the hospital room in which his mother laid. He was a boisterous boy from the start, though he rarely ever cried. He smiled and waved his chubby fists at every person he met as a child, gurgling away happily, his sunny personality clashing with the storm that had been brewing outside as he had come into the world. As a child Ludo became quite adventurous and found himself exploring the world around him further and further, causing his parents to run ragged, keeping an eye on him and his brother who he often dragged along for fun.

When he received his Hogwarts letter he had been thrilled and had almost knocked over the stool at the sorting ceremony, in his haste to join his fellow Hufflepuff's. He quickly found that while he would never be the greatest achiever academically, he would be known for being one of the best quidditch players Hogwarts had ever seen. When he sat on a broom he felt weightless, as though he was flying without aide, and as he had grown stronger, he had found whacking bludgers towards other players to be oddly therapeutic, tempering some of his more energetic outbursts. The Wimborne Wasps had signed him to their team before he had graduated Hogwarts, making both of his parents proud and securing his future.

He had been flying with the Wasps for nine years and knows that, as far as quidditch legends go, he has already made the history books. However, he is also aware that his age will soon become a factor in his career. With multiple injuries under his belt, fully recovered or not, as he grows older and fresh talent enters the pool, he will be pushed aside. He is beginning to make his plans, using his fathers connections with Ministry members to hopefully secure a position once he is forced to retire, but until then he intends to continue playing until he cannot physically do so any longer.

When it comes to the war, Ludovic tries his best to remain uninvolved but he does not agree that muggleborns deserve a lesser place in society than any other blood status. His mother is a muggleborn herself and the thought of anyone treating her with disrespect over it infuriates him. As a celebrity, he knows he will need to comment on the war sooner or later, but the team and the press management are often on hand to ensure that questions do not arise in interviews that may compromise him. When he eventually joins the Ministry, if he joins, he will perhaps need to choose a side but for the time being, he is happy to stand in the middle ground.

Two Positive traits: Protective, Friendly Two Negative traits: Stubborn, Shy

Three plot points/character arcs you would like to explore:

+ Mafalda, though she does not know it, is halfblood. Her father, who she adores, is not her real father. Her mother had an affair with her godfather, who was a muggleborn.

+ Mafalda used to be very quiet and often picked on at Hogwarts, however when she joined the Ministry she toughened up. It will be fun to see how she copes with her old bullies.

+ She's in the war to 'hep the little guy' because she hates bullies, no matter what they call themselves. She will get hurt.

Bio: 

Mafalda has a history so complicated that even she is unaware as to the extent of it. When she was young, her parents divorced. They had blamed a lack of communication and trust within their marriage and while Mafalda had often expressed the feeling that she had caused the split, both of her parents had denied it. Unfortunately for her, they had been lying through their teeth. Her mother had, around a year before Mafalda was born, begun engaging in an affair with her ‘father’s’ best friend and her now godfather. Her father had only found out about the betrayal several years after Mafalda had been born. Despite not being biologically her fathers, though she had never been aware of this, her father treated her as though she was still his, however kept her at slightly more of a distance than a normal father might.

When Mafalda entered Hogwarts, she would not say boo to a goose. When she had been placed in Gryffindor, she had continued to sit on the stool with the hat upon her head, thinking over and over again that it must have been some cruel joke, but the hat would not change it’s decision. She joined her house quietly, refusing to speak to anyone, her lips trembling as she fought back tears at having been placed in the ‘brave’ house. Throughout her school years, despite her academic success, she found herself bullied by many of the older children from all different houses, and withdrew further into herself without every snide remark, hex and shove. There were many times over the years where she questioned who she was and why she had been placed in Gryffindor, but she only began to understand after she had graduated.

Entering the Ministry of Magic, she found her calling. She enjoyed her work immensely, as boring as it might have seemed to others and her confidence soared. With her confidence came resilience and she found that she was able to walk through the corridors with her head held high, past the faces of those who had once taunted her. Joining the Order had been a logical step for her. She hated bullies, no matter who they were or what they claimed to stand for. She knew that no-one deserved to be treated badly and everyone deserved a chance to prove themselves just as she had. Walking among their ranks she feels empowered, ready to take on the world and make a difference for the better, despising anyone who chooses to side with Voldemort.

Bio: (At least three paragraphs diving into your characters history, current situation, and why they fall where they fall in the war.)

Savage grew up a sweet boy, one of five children born to the Savage family. Every day he would play outside with his siblings, no matter the weather, and hated when he had to come inside. One day, he decided that he wanted to live in the woods across from his house forever, so at the age of seven he packed a bag with his teddy, a blanket and some sandwiches, and made himself a little nest under an old willow tree by the river bank. His parents were frantic trying to find him, but when they did, they found the roots of the tree had shot from the ground to wrap around him, sheltering him from the rain that had started beating down. He had fallen asleep and as he had no memory of the tree beyond sitting up against it, his parents never told him.

When he was eleven, his letter came and everybody in the family felt relief. They finally had an explanation for the strange things that happened around their son/brother. Adan read up about Hogwarts before arriving, pouring over every book he could get his hands on and though after reading up on the founders he expected to be placed in Hufflepuff, he found himself being sorted into Ravenclaw. His years to Hogwarts turned the sweet, nature loving boy into a smart, defensive student, who tutored others in his house to help them get a leg up and learned to defend himself against people who wanted to attack him over his blood status. He played for the Ravenclaw house Quidditch team, began working out his body as well as his mind and when it came to choosing a career path, the pamphlet for an auror stood out to him clearly. 

He passed through the training programme with several others. He had started with a full class and by the time they went through their final tests, only a handful remained. Training was gruelling, but as the war began to darken the world outside, he was motivated to put himself in the best position he could to fight back. For the past six months he has been running training sessions and various scenarios with new recruits, as an incident just before this time involved the killing of a suspect who Adan strongly claimed had been trying to kill him and he hadn’t had any choice but to land the killing blow first. He is under great scrutiny, waiting for the final hearing date and the outcome, which is putting a toll on his mental state, but he tries to keep himself as focused as possible. He knows he did the right thing, even if it doesn’t sit well with him, and just hopes that everything will work itself out as it should.

Bio: (At least three paragraphs diving into your characters history, current situation, and why they fall where they fall in the war.)

if there were ever two sisters that were the complete opposites, it was calliope and clio. where her sister came into the world smiling and cooing at the people around them, 16 months earlier clio came into it, screaming the room down as though it was on fire. still despite their differences, clio and calliope were inseparable. clio prides herself in the fact that when she was growing up, she probably saved calliope from being taken off with strangers on several occasions, being cautious and wary where her sister was trusting and helpful to anyone who appeared to need it.

entering hogwarts, it came as no surprise to her parents that she ended up in slytherin, though she found herself puzzled by the placement. she wasn’t ambitious, she had no real plan for her life and no desire to step on anybody around her to get there. she could say that she was determined, when it came to protecting her little sister and resourceful hen she needed to be, but she found herself sitting alone in the common room, rarely talking to another person and always, when able, making her way over to her sister’s house to sit silently with them.

when the day came to choose a career path, she closed her eyes, ruffled the leaflets in front of her and chose one at random. joining the cursebreakers had been easy, though it had required a few more hours that normal of study time with her sister, who became determined herself to see her older sibling succeed. when she had trained for the field, she had begun to enjoy what she was doing for the first time in many years and it seemed like she would do well, until the day of the attack. she had been abroad, alone, and outnumbered. only two other cursebreakers had known about it and had been sworn to secrecy.

clio was secretive and untrusting before the attack, but afterwards she became ever more cautious about the people around her, and the people around calliope, and pulled her walls even further up. she joined the deatheaters out of a brief moment of fear and the rationalisation that if she knew more, she would be able to protect herself and others from anything that might come at their hands. she was very wrong. she doesn’t yet have the dark mark and is one foot out of the door, wondering if anyone would even notice anyway.

Two Positive traits: Focused, Charming Two Negative traits: Impatient, Self-Indulgent

Bio: 

Edmund had always had an overactive imagination. When he had been a young boy, he had played with many imaginary friends, coming up with incredible adventures and writing them all down in his terrible, almost illegible childish handwriting. As he got older, his parents no longer read him bedtime stories and instead sat at the end of his bed, listening as he came up with stories of his own. 

Being sorted into Ravenclaw was no surprise to anyone in his family, but though his head was almost constantly buried in a book, they weren’t books of the academic kind. He jokingly likes to say that he was one of the least successful successful Ravenclaws to ever walk the halls of Hogwarts, especially given his chosen career path after graduating. 

Several years after leaving school, he wrote a series of novels that soon became best sellers in both the muggle and wizarding world. Spurred on by his sudden success, he spent the next few years of his life churning out book after book, story after story, and becoming increasingly wealthy and well known in the process. 

When he hit his thirties, everything seemed to grind to a halt for him. Halfway through the third novel in a series, his inspiration dried up as though he had hit an invisible wall. From then on out, he chose to hide behind false promises for deadlines that never came, charming smiles and the money he made, and kept making, for the books he had already sold.

The war means nothing to Edmund and has never impacted him personally. He does not believe in the Deatheater agenda, but he had no desire to pick up his wand against them either. It is also assumed by most that he is related to Barnabus Cuffe, the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Prophet, though neither party had confirmed or denied the connection, both finding the whispering to be good for business.

castor dolohov was born on the 22nd of october at 11.58pm. he came quietly into the world, curiously taking in the new world around him without a fuss. his sister melinda however did not take the same approach. born at 12.06am on the 23rd of october, she burst into the world with a blood curdling scream and it has been remarked that she had barely been quiet since. as children, it quickly became apparent that although they had come into the world side by side, personality wise they couldn’t have been further apart. where castor was thoughtful and quiet, melinda craved attention and always had to be the center of it.

growing up, they were sheltered from the hatred their father held for his children by their older brother antonin and their mother. when he died just before they were due to set off for hogwarts, both children were shocked by the development, but not as upset as any child close to their parent should be. castor had once remarked that the most he had ever seen his father was when he looked at his brother, who at the age of eighteen quickly became more of a parental figure to them.

upon entering hogwarts, castor was called up to the stool first and sat with the sorting hat on his head for ten minutes before a decision was made. the hat had trouble placing him; he was an oddly perfect balance of the houses. brave like a gryffindor, ambitious as a slytherin, clever enough for ravenclaw and as loyal and a hufflepuff. eventually castor chose slytherin like the rest of his family. a moment later it turned out that the choice had been a good one. the sorting hat had barely touched the top of melinda’s head before it has shouted ‘SLYTHERIN!’

castor excelled everywhere that melinda did not. he made friends easily, held positions of responsibility and achieved good grades. melinda however hated hogwarts. she found herself picking fights often and causing trouble, and much to her chagrin, came close to being expelled once but soon found out that antonin had fixed the situation for her. when they graduated, castor was the top of his class with outstandings in almost every NEWT. melinda left hogwarts with a handful of pass grades and a dream of fame.

out in the real world, they are currently living with their brother, who is desperately trying to convince them to get a place of their own. melinda was signed quickly by a modelling agency, and constantly argues with her big brother over showing her support for the deatheaters, something he does not encourage. castor, despite his high grades and promise, has yet to choose a career path. he is neutral in the war, cringing at the sight of his brother’s mark and lamenting silently that the world is too harsh.

IC INFO

Name: George Calloway

Age: 30

Preferred Pronouns: He/Him

Face Claim: Oliver Jackson Cohen

Blood Status: Halfblood (assumed, read bio for more)

Affiliation (Order, Death Eaters, Neutral): Neutral

Former School and House: Hogwarts, Gryffindor (under a different name. he was expelled at the age of fifteen, no-one is quite sure where he went for a while after that)

Occupation: Runs Under The Arch Betting Shop (and Casino) in Knockturn Alley

Two Positive traits - creative, resourceful, protective

Two Negative traits - ill-tempered, paranoid, risky

Three plot points:

+ Why was he expelled? Your guess is as good as mine.

+ He takes bribes to turn a blind eye. That will come back and bite him.

+ No-one seems to know who his family are, or if he has any. Is his name really George Calloway? (No, it’s not)

Bio:

One can smile, and smile, and be a villain...

Not much is known about George Calloway from before he turned up in Knockturn Alley four years ago with a pocket full of cash, nicely fitted clothes and the breeding and manners of a person that most certainly did not match them. 

He purchased the betting shop, under the arch, quickly and quietly, dragging it from a position of ruin to a place where petty criminals could conduct business, gambling was high stakes, all money was welcome and the basement housed a secret only known to those with fat pockets or substantial influence. 

George dubbed ‘Georgie’ by the cronies, or employees, who have dogged his footsteps for years, keeps his past to himself. He has told numerous vague lies over the years, not large enough to be caught out but conflicting enough to arouse suspicion. 

Did he attend hogwarts or was he home-schooled? Is the rough timbre of his voice, the strange scottish accent, real or a falsehood? Was the money he used to buy the betting shop inherited, earned or stolen? Why does he hand out oddly shaped poker chips in exchange for boons? 

Staring down at the street from the apartment window, just above the shop, he sees more than he would ever say. He knows who you are before you set foot in the door; he knows your game, your skill and can deduce your weakness from a few strides across the shop floor and perhaps, a brief conversation. 

George takes no real part in the war, though he had been known (by those involved) to aide the Deatheaters if they are ever in need, in exchange for a favour to be collected at a later date. On the flip side, he will assist the Order if he feels inclined to do so, but it’s never out of the goodness of his entirely black heart. 

--

Summary, but unknown to the characters in play: George’s real name is Maxwell, he was a muggleborn who was expelled from Hogwarts at the age of fifteen and he was a Gryffindor. He disappeared after that, not returning to his parents and instead venturing out on his own. He has no wand that ‘chose him’, as his own was snapped upon expulsion, though he picked up a second hand wand he found in a muggle junk store, advertised as a ‘magic wand’. He has several loyal followers who dog his footsteps. He treats them like family, but would sell them out if he had to save his own skin. The money was stolen, and he paid a heavy price for it, but you’d never know it unless you were able to look under his shirt (and no-one does).
