## Biography

#### Early Life

Arys Bower was born in November 1979 in Wales, United Kingdom, to Gian and Lilith. When he was a young child, his family moved to Scotland, which is where he grew up. Arys was an only child until his sister Faith was born in 1988. He and Faith were beloved by their parents.

On September 1, 1991, he started Hogwarts. Since his surname began with a B, he did not have to wait long to be sorted, and the hat placed him in Hufflepuff. It wasn't long before he made a good mate in Gabriel Blishwick, a fellow Hufflepuff student. Arys enjoyed his time at Hogwarts in June 1998; he graduated a little over a month after the battle of Hogwarts when the Dark Lord Voldemort was victorious.

#### Heidi

In his fourth year (1994-1995), he met Heidi Rowle, a fifth-year Ravenclaw student. At the end of the school year, they started dating. In 1999 they married and welcomed three children Dane (Jun 2001), Clara, and Lola (2006). Unfortunately, in the middle of 2007, Heidi left him for a younger man. Their divorce was finalized in 2008.

#### McKenna

Arys did not stay a bachelor for long. It wasn't long before he met McKenna Seymour. McKenna was eight years his junior; despite the age difference, the two had a connection. McKenna was a sweet young woman with a much different personality than his ex-wife Heidi.

He and McKenna married, and it wasn't long before McKenna was pregnant. On August 9, 2009, their son George Kenneth was born. They were a happy family of six. McKenna was good to his three young children from his previous marriage.

In 2011 McKenna fell pregnant with their second child. They were both happy and looking forward to expanding their family. On May 11, 2012, she went into labor. It was a hard and lengthy labor, and she developed an infection. Arys begged the Healers and midwives to perform a cesarean. The baby (Robb Tyler) was born on May 12; sadly, McKenna passed shortly after.

Arys found himself a widower with a newborn and an almost three-year-old.

#### Erin

In 2013 roughly a year after he lost his beloved Kenna, he started dating Erin Flanagan. He and Erin had known each other and been friends during their Hogwarts days, and when they began dating, they had not seen each other since 2007. Erin was good with four-year-old George , one-year-old Robb, and his older children. After a year of dating, they married in 2014.

Erin soon fell pregnant with their first child. On February 24, 2015, their daughter Jaden Lilith was born. They had two more daughters, Trista Avery (May 7, 2016) and Cressida Lynette (Jun 12, 2017).

## Career

Arys started working as the History Magic Professor at Hogwarts during the 2030-2031 school year. He took a sabbatical during the 2040-2041 school year to research a book he was writing.

## Death Eater

In June 2045 Arys was marked by King Addom.
