## Biography

### Early Life (1961-1972)

Briar Emiline Montgomery was born on 14 July 1981, to **Edmund** and Melissa Montgomery (née Evans), during the beginnings of the First Wizarding War.

Though Edmund's health was waning, he refused to seek magical treatment, wanting to shield his wife, and now daughter, from the Wizarding world and rising war. Prior to Melissa's pregnancy, he had planned to flee, as to not cause her so much pain. However, he did not want to leave his wife alone and pregnant, so he decided to stay despite his impending death.

For two years, Briar was raised in a small cottage in the countryside of Manchester, allowing Melissa to maintain her nursing job in the city, whilst Edmund remained in hiding. Unfortunately, the blood maledictus got significantly worse after Edmund's thirtieth birthday, and on December 10th, 1963, he passed away peacefully in his sleep. The autopsy noted cause of death as untreated Leukemia.

Three days after Edmund's death, Melissa discovers she's pregnant. She packs her daughter up and move them into a small apartment in the city- selling the scenic cottage to provide savings for her children. On 29 August, 1964, Melissa gave birth to Briar's younger brother Tyler Edmund Montgomery.

## Personality and Traits

**General Character Traits:**

Edmund Montgomery, an extraordinarily well off Auror, was known for his quick wit and excellent spellwork. Often charged with going after the most dangerous Dark Wizards, he had the misfortune of hunting down Epinine Dagget; a wickedly dark witch who had taken to practicing curses on muggles to impress her current boyfriend Teleur Rosier. When he finally caught her, he ridiculed and embarrassed her in front of the entire Rosier family, including Teleur's newly betrothed, Avivit. ((Avivit Rosier gave birth to Evan Rosier, who is cousins with the Blacks.)) Before she was taken away, Epinine cast a blood curse on Edmund Montgomery, swearing that his bloodline would end. Having no proof that the curse was real, Montgomery continued being an Auror until the late 1940s, when he was injured by a duel that went bad. The effects of the blood curse had begun to kick in, and had taken Montgomery by surprise- causing him to lose the duel. Weak and injured, he stumbled into a Muggle veterinarians office and was healed by a young Muggle girl. Falling instantly in love, he swore to keep her safe and the two of them moved in together. With the effects of the blood malediction in full swing, Montgomery vowed to keep them hidden from the Wizarding World, in order to keep his new bride safe. Melissa began working as a nurse, and urged her husband to get tested or treated, seeing as his body was failing him, but he refused. He knew his time was coming to a close, and wanted to flee to spare his wife the pain, but when Melissa revealed that she was pregnant, he decided to stay until the end of his days; never revealing his magical powers. In 1963, when Briar Montgomery was two years old and Melissa pregnant with another child, Edmund finally died. His cause of death was officially stated as untreated Leukemia.
