Professor Justin Baldwig

== Backstory ==
Being born millennia ago, Justin is possibly older than even King Izaleon. His birth name is Lysic, with no surname, for the practice of giving last names would not begin in the Muggle world for another several thousand years (1000 AD). Liam is a nephilim, a half demon. His mother was human, and his father was Beelzebub himself, king of the demons. The exact nature of Lysic’s relationship with his father is unknown, but we do know that Lysic had a demon side that he fought for centuries, attempting to contain or control the monster within. Eventually however, Lysic came to accept his ‘other side’.
Much of Lysic’s history is lost to antiquity, but some bits of information do remain. It is known he had compassion for the plight of the dragon, Izaleon, and was one of the demons who fought alongside him during the rebellion against the wizards around 1000 BC. It is thought at this time Lysic killed his family, who had sided with the wizards, and took his role as king of the demons, claiming his father’s ax as his own. Because of his half breed status his reign was vigorously opposed and he would not have full control of his kingdom in the underworld, an underground location hidden from muggles, for millennia.
At some time during the Middle Ages he met a woman with whom he fell in love and a brave young lightning nephilim, Liam, who he grew to trust. Desiring to make this human woman his queen, Lysic made a contract with a powerful demon to give the woman demonic powers, naming the woman Lilyana. She became his queen and Liam his bodyguard. However, Lilyana has not been seen for several centuries and is thought to be dead with multiple sources claiming to have heard Lysic say that he will never love again.
Eventually, he took an interest in Hogwarts, taking the alias of Justin Baldwig. Lysic is currently serving Azaleon at the Dragon King’s castle.
== Personal Life ==
Due to events which took place during Izaleon’s rebellion, Lysic had a strong distrust of vampires. This has recently changed, however, due to his respect for Vita Valentina.
Lysic has given Liam a copy of his father’s ax. Although far less powerful through this ax Liam csn channel his lightning powers with much greater effect.
