Professor Axel Redthorn

==Academic and Professional Career==
Professor Redthorn seems to have issues with man-eating pianos in his classroom.
==Personal Life==
Axel is a werewolf who sometimes has difficulty controlling his beast nature.
Axel likes Muggle music.
Axel is an expert at the old and rare Stradivarius spell. This spell, when cast on an instrument, causes the instrument’s sound quality to be far better. The spell was first pioneered by Stradivarius who used it to enchant violins. His enchantment was strong enough to last centuries (He thought it was permanent and never found out it wasn’t because the enchantment lasted longer than he did). Axel’s version of the spell only lasts a couple of hours and he can only enchant pianos but during that time any music played on the piano sounds far better. Unfortunately Axel doesn’t have the spell perfected and there is a catch: the spell will randomly cause the piano to gain sentience and attempt to eat humans- a man eating piano. This can happen hours, days or even decades after he cast the Stradivarius spell on it. Some pianos still have not turned. Because of this randomness no one has connected his spell with the appearance of the man-eating pianos, and Axel tends to blame others things (like students) for the appearances of these creatures. Although being attacked by a man eating piano is a horrific experience, the lack of digestive organs means that no one has been seriously injured.
