Professor Alexander Jean Delaunay

==Academic and Professional Career==
At age 11 Alexander transferred to Hogwarts from France. He showed incredible skills in all areas, but particularly excelled as a duelist and electromancer. Alexander didn’t ‘shine’ though. It was as if he intentionally held back in order to avoid attention. The few professors who noticed this dismissed it as laziness, but Alexander’s reasons were far more complex than that. He reasoned that being in the ‘limelight‘ made him a target- more people were watching him, and he much preferred to be the watcher.
Upon graduation he joined the Aurors, and is considered one of the best to ever serve. His mission success rate was astounding and he would willingly take assignments many other Aurors would avoid. He quickly found his exceptional talent for judging people and situations, and used that talent to stay one step ahead at all times. His powers of perception are second to none at Hogwarts, and almost nothing escapes his keen awareness. 
During his time as Auror he was required to do things that, although confident in doing at the time, he deeply regrets now. He is suspicious of any type of power that seeks to hide its actions from view and, using his quite impressive analytical ability and investigative prowess, will attempt to discover what evil might be lurking within, but he also understands the need for order. He isn’t against power only it’s abuse, because he understands that power can also bring justice.
==Personal Life==
Alexander is one of the top duelists in the world although his name is quite unknown outside a few elite circles. He much prefers to stay behind the scenes and express his talents in secrecy. He has a natural gift for ‘reading’ people and situations and is an excellent judge of character. 
During the Battle of Hogwarts Delores Umbridge refused to allow him to join the battle even though his sister was a student there. Only after disobeying orders did he join the battle. But it was seconds too late and he saw his sister die right before he got to her.
