Character Biography
Personality: Romulus is, to many, a cold and distant person. Though he has a few aquiantances and the odd friend, he has a tendancy to shy away from and avoid most people, instead viewing them with great distrust. A great enigma, Romulus has chosen to isolate himself from most of the school, even those within his own house. To the outside world Romulus is a deeply troubled person with the capacity for great malice and evil if the events of his life drive him down such a path - the son of two lesser Death Eaters, he feels trapped between two worlds, abhorring both those who served Voldemort and those who fought him. He speaks to most in a cool, disinterested and sometimes arrogant tone to discourage them from seeking further conversation. The only person he has ever called a friend is a Rezal Noisiv and, with this fellow Fourth Year student, Romulus shows a side of himself that few others see. The two have a special bond that cannot be explained in words, and Noisiv is the only student Romulus has ever confided the nature of his condition in - when he is with Rezal, Romulus behaves in an almost normal fashion, though he retains his characteristic coldness. The sharp contrast between Rezal and Romulus is surprising to many, yet for the past three years, their friendship has remained indomnitable and unbreakable.

A Lycanthrope for nearly as long as he can remember, young Romulus' cold and inpenetrable exterior is largely the result of the self-hated his condition has induced in him, though none know of it. His relative social isolation has lead him to pursue his academic studies with unusual dedication, allowing him to advance ahead many of his classmates in key subjects at the cost of falling behind in others. He is not, however, a cruel person - rather, one who simply does not care for those around him. He does not seek to cause suffering or inflict pain on others in his life, but does not have any qualms about doing so if he must. Like all in the house of Hyrda, he is ambitious and willing to do whatever it takes to realise those ambitions. Exceptionally cunning, he cares little for what harm his schemes may bring to others - the only two people in the world he would not harm are Rezal and Headmistress O Gamhna, the latter for her acceptance of the young werewolf and her willingness to do all she can to assist him with his condition.
Appearance: In contrast to his friend Rezal Noisiv, Romulus is a short and weak-looking individual. Physically drained by his agonising and exhausting monthly transformations, a great strain on his body even with the aid of the miraculous wolfsbane potion, Romulus is a small and thin adolescent boy at a height of 5ft9in. His face appears to be somewhat older than that of his colleagues, largely due to the stress of his transformations, a trend that will continue for the rest of his life. In contrast to many boys of his age he has medium-length raven black hair, stopping just above his shoulders half-way down his neck. His eyes are a dull grey and permenantly shadowed due to exhaustion. In terms of clothing, Romulus has a tendancy to dress conservatively and prefers traditional Wizarding garments to modern Muggle-inspired clothing - if robes are inappropriate, he will wear a plain black suit with white shirt, and a gold-buckled black cloak over his shoulders.
History/Biography: Romulus was born into an old, if obscure, pure blooded Wizarding family. Both of his parents were loyal allies of the Death Eaters in the final hours of the First Wizarding War, though they escaped detection. His family raised him to hate those who were not of pure blood thought he never took to his ideology, finding it abhorrent and archaic - he did, nonetheless, respect his parents for their willingness to use the Dark Arts to achieve their goals and ambitions. When Lord Voldemort returned and called for all former servants to rejoin with him, both of his parents joined the ranks of his new Death Eaters (though they never found themselves in any position of power). In 1996, when the Second Wizarding War began officially, his mother botched an important mission and managed to get herself killed. Rather than punishing Charles for this failure, it was decided their oldest son - Romulus - should be brought into the ranks of Voldemort's servants in such a way that he could not refuse. In mid 1996 his father allowed him to be bitten by a Werewolf in Voldemort's service, infecting him with Lycanthropy - the young boy barely survived the trauma.

Since then, Romulus has had to suffer the curse of Lycanthropy, enduring agonising monthly transformations with the fuill moon. His father refused to allow him the wolfsbane potion and would instead lock him away in the basement of the family's mansion, forcing the werewolf 'pup' to attack himself in frustration with regularity. When Voldemort finally fell at the Battle of Hogwarts his father was arrested and sentenced to life in Azkaban prison for his crimes against the wizarding world, resulting in young Romulus being taken into the care of his grandmother, who was unable to acquire wolfsbane for him and was too forced to lock the young boy away during transformations. Nonetheless, his grandmother was a kindlier woman who treated him well.

When the time came for Romulus to attend Silverwood College for Applied Sorcery, Headmistress Illiana O Gamhna made special provisions for him to be locked away in a secure holding facility in the centre of Silverwood Forrest during his transformations - it was on the request of the boy himself that no other teacher be made aware of his condition, thus preventing the brewing of wolfsbane potion by the school's potions master. In his second year he struck up a friendship with fellow Hydra student Rezal Noisiv, one that would prove to be his only true friendship with another student, and one that lasts to this date. Also in his second year, he finally conceded to allow the Potions master to brew regular wolfsbane potions for him, and is now able to transform harmlessly without becoming a full werewolf.
