Family background and description: Mordred's grandmother was raped by Morfin Gaunt, and gave birth to his father. His father is a sociopath, and due to their relations, Mordred also has sociopathic tendencies, though never cruel ones. This all means that Mordred is a descendant from Salazar Slytherin, and can speak parseltongue.
Personal history: Mordred was born on Halloween, his mother leaving him behind the moment she was well enough. So, he was raised by his father, Mycah. Living with a sociopath is no easy job, and Mordred have more than enough scars to show for it. But due to his own sociopathic tendencies, he was never afraid of his father. And when he started Hogwarts, things got even easier. He didn't have friends, according to himself, but there were those few who managed to nag him enough to make him appreciate them. But due to his need to be alone and how he always sought solitude, he used all his time studying, making him the top of his class. He learned Legilimens and Occlumency in his fifth year, but only mastered it in his final year. He has been working with this ability for years, and feels he would do well as an interrogator for the Ministry, or even the Order. On the graduation feast, he was forced to come and a lot of people tried to get him drunk. Eventually, they succeeded. Mordred doesn't remember much of this feast, but he knew one thing that had come of it; his daughter, Morgana. Now he's trying to get a stable job, something that hasn't proven easy for a relative of Lord Voldemort himself. And this annoys him profoundly.

He is working as an Unspeakable in the Ministry, and has done so for five years. As he doesn't like people deciding what he should research, he is now considering to apply for the job as the Head of the Department of Mysteries. He has also noticed a strong change in his daughter, Morgana, and is worried that she




Physical Appearance: Mordred is a black-haired, lean and well-toned man. Though he isn't the most handsome of people, the more you look at him, the prettier he gets. He's pretty special, though, in appearance and personality.

Dislikes too much people, people trying to read him, when his daughter tells him to stop playing the violin.
He often sits in complete silence and thinks, or plays the violin to think. He has a habit of reading people (not with legilimens or any magical helps, just by observation) and saying what he reads out loud without knowing it might give offence.

He slowly opened his eyes, squinting at the strong light. How much was the clock? His room was filled with sunlight. It wasn't like this early in the morning. He jumped out of the bed, feeling his heart race a bit faster. He grabbed his watch and looked at it. eleven thirty. He cursed and rushed over to his wardrobe, pulling out some clothes and putting them on. He was sure to be fired now.

Trouble about that, was that he really didn't care. His work was anything but something he liked, so he should probably quit it himself. But Morgana... He sighed. He hated letting her down. He thought it was bad that Morgana was at Hogwarts right now. If she'd been here, he'd never have overslept. But the problem wasn't that he overslept. He never overslept. The reason he kept getting fired was because of his constant rudeness, but he couldn't stop being who he was either, could he? Sure, he could be nice. Pretend to be, at least, but he always slipped. And he never regretted it. He didn't even notice when it happened. Maybe that was the problem. He shook his head and hurried to the kitchen through their rather big house. He quickly made a toast and left.

In the car, he noticed that he was feeling a bit poor. Maybe the reason he overslept was because he was coming down with something? He decided not to think about it as he parked near his job. He quickly walked into the building, and as expected, his boss asked him to come to his office. Mordred sighed. And he decided to quit before he was being fired.

A few minutes later, he was at his car again, having taken with him his personal belongings, which meant a pen, a block of paper and a computer. It was time to look for a new job.
