## Biography

### Early childhood

Zelos Agrius Pope was born in 2005 to Triana Solo and Remus Pope. As the youngest child he is four years younger than his elder brother Alastor and his elder sister Lyssa. If Alastor or Lyssa excelled at something he wasn't interested in it. He didn't give himself the opportunity to choose, his place in life was forced on him early on. Zelos always made it a mission to the opposite of them in whatever way that he could, big or small. If they did something good then he wanted to do something bad, if they were being mean then he was going to be nice. He wanted to be independent of them since they would always be so closely linked to one another.

In 2015 Zelos was playing with a stray cat that liked to follow him around. He and that ugly creature had made fast friends over a short period of weeks. He even brought food from his own plate out to the animal during the day, and sometime at night. His sister Lyssa decided to kick that cat, not because she disliked the it, because she disliked Zelos. In her mind she wasn't being mean, she was "protecting" her brother. Their father told him not to touch that cat and Zelos continued to disobey. Zelos was so frightened, angry and confused he made his sister burp slugs and slime. They've been engaged in a bitter sibling rivalry ever since that day. Alastor seems to be the only reason they haven't successfully killed one another.

Prior to going off to Hogwarts himself Zelos was treated to a special combination of freedom and loneliness. He was the youngest child, that meant everything was filtered through two other people before he typically got to experience it. Without his constant battles with Lyssa and the protection provided by Alastor he felt like he had nothing. They had always, always, been around whether he wanted them there or not. It felt strange to him to not be able to run to his brother or run from his sister as he would on any given day. Despite the fact that she would continue to have a disdain for him Zelos grew to appreciate his sister in that moment, his brother even more so.

His struggles with his magical abilities had gone on for years before he noticed it for what it truly was. He was Clairvoyant, Clairaudient to be exact, he can hear a persons thoughts. The perfect person for such a skill since he was already good at keeping things to himself. His first friend that wasn't a family member to him, Leah Hughes, helped him to learn about about his powers. By practicing this little game with him that they called 'What Am I Thinking?', it was for fun, and it was of great use to him. She was the friendly daughter of one of his father's business partners, the youngest child just like he was. Her family adored Zelos and he was invited over to their home often.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Pope Family

Zelos didn't have a strong 'family unit' like he would have wanted. His father and sister were more neglectful and abusive than he cares to admit. He had his brother and that meant more to him than anything in the world. The bond Zelos shared with Alastor made all the abuse he lived through at hands of Lyssa and Remus seem like it was just a bad dream. He could easily forget about all the torment when he'd had a good laugh with his brother playing one of Zelos' favorite games.

When he was a boy (Infancy-Teen years) he had a nanny who was more like family to him. She the mother and sister he always dreamed of. Her name was Tina and he loved her.
