Professor Benedict Tonberry

==Academic and Professional Career==
Benedict is an expert in the histories and languages of the ancient world. He is particularly fond of ancient stories and has gathered quite the personal library of tomes- some very rare and expensive. He has one of the only copies of “Tales of Beetle the Bard“ still in existence. How he came to possess these exotic books is a mystery, but he freely shares his property, allowing students to borrow whatever they will promise to read. One night a week he hosts a reading where he retells the old stories held within the pages of his collection. “Tonberry Reads” is wildly popular among students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, with the occasional Gryffindor coming by on nights when the more heroic tales are told. 
His mustache was voted second at Hogwarts- bested only by his mustache mentor, Professor Wiggin. 
He left Hogwarts for a while in order to protect the students from a growing evil within himself. The nature of this evil and how it came to now reside in Benedict is unknown. 
==Personal Life==
Benedict always keeps up with the latest archeological finds. If this is simply out of professional curiosity or if he is searching for a particular discovery is unknown.
Like many in his profession, Benedict is very methodical and greatly dislikes impulsive decisions. Because of his exacting nature he tends to be correct often and this leads him to get into disagreements with his fellow professors, particularly on subjects he knows thoroughly, such as ancient runes.
Despite his dislike of social gatherings he is actually quite a good dancer.
The hat he often wears was found by him lying on the floor at Hogwarts. The previous owner of the hat is unknown although that person has certainly failed to come and claim their property.
