"*Are we actually that helpless that people who lack magic may be our jailers and oppressors? Are we such weak creatures that we can't defend ourselves against uninformed intolerance? No, I don't think so.*"
―Alistair to his followers
Alistair is, at a glance, quiet and brooding. His expressions change frequently, and his normal attitude appears to be sullen and melancholy. Alistair, much influenced by his father's teachings, holds his pure-blood heritage in high respect and thinks himself superior to others who are not of pure wizarding descent, and heavily dislikes interaction with people he considers lower.

He's incredibly persuasive and likes using his "silver tongue" to get his way or make people bow to his will, yet he may get irritated when things don't go exactly as he imagines them. His demeanor is defined by his background: sophisticated, upper-class, and superior.

## Character synopsis

"*We are born with the ability to not only protect ourselves, but also to assume our position as leaders in a world in desperate need of leadership.*"
―Alistair Rosier to Nicholas GauntAlistair was pampered and spoilt by his parents since he was a child. As a result, he developed a deep sense of his own superiority, which was bolstered by the prestige that came with moving into Pure-Blood circles, which his family had belonged to since time immemorial. His carefully trimmed hair nearly reaches the tops of his ears, which he wears with a serious expression at most times. He exudes the confidence of someone who is sure of their position within the hierarchy and exactly who is beneath him on that same chain.

To the public, he is generally considered a true gentleman who is always prepared to serve and assist. In actuality, he is a bigot who looks down on everyone who is inferior to him. While being a student assistant to Professor X, he was encouraged to keep his radical beliefs to his own and broaden his horizons. This advice led him to be more political in the expression of his opinions while remaining prejudiced. He began to learn how to hide his fangs until it was time to strike. His viewpoints have ultimately gained him a lot of respect within the Slytherin house.

He is quite picky about the company he keeps, with his inner circle consisting largely of pure-blooded and rich members of the greater wizarding families. He does, however, have a number of acquaintances that grovel and suck up to him to the point where he considers himself friendly with them. He has always been a smooth talker who is skilled at persuading others to his point of view or goals. He loves to settle problems by words rather than violence, as it has been said that he can talk his way out of any situation.

Alistair is aware of the world of lies and coercion molded by the Ministry of Magic, and has vowed to make a difference for those who are deserving.

## Appearance

Alistair is somewhat smaller than average, with a fairly feminine appearance. A narrow face is distinguished by high cheekbones and heavy eyelids that conceal a pair of bright blue eyes. His head is crowned with naturally curly hair that he works hard to disguise by slicking it back and keeping it well-groomed. His complexion is virtually porcelain and free of any marring from childhood mishaps, owing to the fact that he has been kept out of them.

He dresses conservatively and neatly. His apparel mirrors his upbringing, with suits and button-ups with ties dominating his wardrobe. He can also be spotted with overcoats and peacoats in cooler weather. He typically wears deeper colors, such as blacks or browns, with contrasts to emphasize.

## Skills and abilities

* **Charisma —** Alistair is good at influencing and encouraging others, as evidenced by his ability to persuade Headmaster Millicent Harrow to give him permanent entry to the Restricted Section. Alistair was also successful in convincing a huge number of students to support his vision and beliefs for the Wizarding World. Only individuals with really incorruptible moral codes appear to be immune to Alistair's charisma.
* **Transfiguration —** Alistair acquired a keen interest in the art of transfiguration at a young age. Having seen so many people do such magic, it was no surprise that he would want to add it to his magical repertoire as soon as possible. Alistair began rigorously practicing in advanced transfiguration after he was under the supervision of his father. Within a few years, he has become well versed and has demonstrated remarkable proficiency in the ability, but he still desires to improve.
	+ **Mirror-dimension —** Alistair has excelled in Transfiguration to the point where he can create an inverted-mirrored realm by magically reversing the world. In this reality, he may hone his magical abilities and fight his enemies without drawing the attention of the general public.
* **Duelling —** Alistair prefers to engage in more formal and ceremonial dueling. When doing so, he may use a defensive duelling approach, easily repelling his opponents' efforts and advancing on them before delivering the decisive blow. Alistair can also adopt an aggressive duelling strategy on other occasions, defending only once and repeatedly attacking his opponent.
* **Dark Arts —** Alistair is extremely skilled and accomplished in the Dark Arts, and he has earned a well-deserved spot at the top of the list of Hogwarts' Best Performing Students. Alistair's abilities, along with his affinity for the Dark Arts, made his investigation and practice of such magic extremely perilous, which is why he prefers to train alone to prevent endangering others.
	+ **Necromancy** **—** Alistair discovered this subtle kind of Dark Magic while visiting the Restricted Section and reading about it in a book. Though he possesses the knowledge, he has not used it yet.
