John Dustwood attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he earned top marks on all final exams, gaining the attention of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, who extended him an invitation to work with them as an Auror. He rose through their ranks quickly, becoming one of their top operatives. He was held in high favor among the M.A.C.U.S.A. inner circle until the murder of his family caused him to embark on a non-sanctioned mission of vengeance, marking him as a dangerous rogue. He was on the run for several years before M.A.C.U.S.A. finally caught him and, as punishment for his crimes, he was banished from the United States. He moved to the UK where he applied for and was accepted into, a teaching position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He started as a substitute professor, though has recently started teaching an elective class on thestrals.
==Personal Life==
John Dustwood was born to Jack and Amanda in the small town of Steele in Western Texas. Growing up right outside of town, on the family's magic cattle ranch, he learned the value of hard work, self-respect, and respect of others. At age 11, he was accepted into Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into House Thunderbird. Tragedy struck during his fourth year, however, when he received word that his entire family had been murdered by a group of vampires. Destroyed by grief and blinded by rage, he swore to bring the murderers to justice and avenge his family. After he graduated from Ilvermorny, he started working for M.A.C.U.S.A. as an Auror until, one day, his wife and children were murdered, seemingly also by vampires. Desperate to know who the killers were and still searching for his the murderers of his parents and siblings, he went to a crossroads and summoned a demon to gain information and strength. The demon told him the same group of vampires had killed his family both times and showed him where he could find them. Dustwood had no problem finding them and as he killed the very last one, the illusion was lifted and it was revealed to him that these were no vampires, but mortal human beings instead and he had been used to shed innocent blood. Feeling sick to his stomach and unsure whether he could ever forgive himself, he tried to kill himself but found that the demon had cursed him with an inability to die. After five years, he was caught by MACUSA and, since he couldn't be executed, was banished from the United States, never to return. Now he's a professor at Hogwarts and lives his life trying to make amends for the lives he's taken, trying to get to a place where he can forgive himself.
