Early years
Grew up around New Orleans in a wizarding community, known as Mirewood. Most notably because it was surrounded by a mire and a wood. They were mostly brought up by their Mother, She was a loving and caring rather typical wood witch, who would help those who came to her in need, she helped with the defense of the town on many occasions. She was well rounded in her skills, from potions to spells. She fell in love with a local muggle, who became Obby's step-dad. Firm but kind he ensured that Obby's up to this point rather informal schooling was regulated. Though he did not know the content of the lessons. Upon turning fourteen Obby was taken by his Father to the mire to wrassle gators. It was his family's business. Obby was a rather good wrangler. However the day after his 16th birthday party his Mother disappeared after visiting the woods to talk with the local centaurs. 
=== The losing of clarity ===
Obby distraught went out in the middle of the night to find his Mother. But only found a group of alligators, he tried to fight them off and get away but a raking bite across the face, ripping out his eyes drew a close to that. He awoke in the hospital. His eyesight was there, but the focus was not. He desperately tried to get used to the blurry world in which he now lived. But after a series of enchantments by himself and his new tutor. Clarity was restored and another benefit. Immunity to Basilisk and adjacent creatures' killing and paralyzing glare. 
He found the love of his life at Ilvermorny however, his tutor practically forced him to attend. His homeschooling had got him far but it wouldn't help him in the wizarding world at large. Matilda, he met her, fell in love and married her, she was a beauty to his eyes, warm-hearted and caring. No one however dared cross her. She was wonderfully fierce where her friends were involved. Obby lost her to a death eater, 2 months before graduation. He drowned himself in work but successfully graduated. He spent a year back at his family home, helping the town with it's alligator problem.
=== Hogwarts ===
A letter came through one day. Marked with a H. After reading it a few times and talking it over with his Step-Dad he accepted the offer and went to Hogwarts, where he fell in love again. With his work, the castle and everything in between. He was sorted in Slytherin, and since then has been teaching about magical creatures, near and far.
