Thaddeus.Atlas

**Rylee** dark, but not evil, operating on some primitive drive. Like a moth to the flame, always drawn to the bright light of hope those in power gave off. Not to bask in the warm glow of the lights safety and possibility, but rather the desire to snuff it out. To expose those who shined as nothing more than false idols. As any hunter will go for the weak spot of an animal, Rylee sought his prey with similar focus. Unwavering in his hunt for those who stood on the shoulders of others declaring themselves the authority.

"Be present in the moment. Own your choices fully, regardless of the evil force, they are how we are to carve the world in our image." -Rylee to the Aargon's army

## Deatheater General - 2nd in command - Sin of PrideEdit

In spite of his extremist views and beliefs Rylee prefers limited causalities be the army. Rylee prefers working alone allowing him to ensure surgical precision. Often Rylee opts to confront leaders alone to assume full cost of the attack and avoid needless bloodshed when perusing their target. He believes heavily in creeds and convictions of Aargon, stating that they are needed in order to expose false leaders within the Wizarding community.

## Raid on HogwartsEdit

Bewitching yet extraordinarily power lured many to the side of the Death Eaters before the attack on the school. The assault of Hogwarts had one goal, they were after the children the future of the Wizarding world, and why shouldn't it belong to them. This undertaking seemed quite convincing and genuine at first, Rylee found this to part of Aargon's plan particularly compelling in achieving their goals. The obligation and its inherent responsibility imposed on Rylee, moreover the trust and confidence that Aargon had was not lost on him. Shocked at how swiftly and with such pure unimaginable desire his plan was carried out left Aargon named Rylee to his second. The attack on the school left emotions at an all time high. The diabolical ambush had caused unimaginable damage beyond repair was their sense of safety and security. The professors prepared a joint effort to track Aargon down.

## Aargon's CaptureEdit

Rylee as the named successor assumes control of the remaining forces. Now, to keep the group bonded together he quickly found a common goal in promising to take the power from the unworthy, returning it to Council of Sin. Rylee shifted the groups focus from chaos to that of the cause of freedom. No longer would they live in the shadows for fear of the ministries dregs. They would stand to meet them in their offices, the streets and their homes if they must. Rylee would plot to reveal just how vulnerable the people at the top were, both in position and health. For even gods can bleed.

Professor Matthias Trace Phoenix

## Academic and Professional Career

Although Professor Phoenix is an excellent duelist what he really excels at is ‘rogue dueling’- the no rules style

## #OOC INFO

### TikTok

matthias\_besse

of fighting that actually happens on the battlefield. War isn’t pretty, and fighting for your life and the lives of your comrades can be an ugly business, but it’s in this business that Professor Phoenix excels. Rogue dueling  involves physical, mental, and magical conflict. Professor Phoenix has mastered them all.

Professor Phoenix knows that to be successful in a prolonged battle one must have multiple methods of attack, and Phoenix has more methods than any other professor at Hogwarts. He carries an enchanted cane which can be used as both a physical and magical weapon if needed. When preparing for a potentially deadly situation he keeps a rapier by his side which also doubles as a wand in a pinch. Even disarmed entirely he is still a force to be reckoned with as he is exceptionally proficient with wandless magic. No other professor can bring so much variety to a conflict.

Phoenix deeply believes in Hogwarts as a community that can help people heal. He does not like house stereotypes.

## Personal Life

Although Professor Phoenix does well with hydromancy he is a particularly powerful pyromancer.

Having an amazing amount of both physical and mental endurance he can continue to fight long after other wizards would have ceased.

Professor Phoenix believes all are born with evil inside and that life is a struggle for good to overcome the shadow in our soul.
Professor Milo Parish

## Academic and Professional Career

Milo Parish is a pivotal member of the Dark Hunters. No plan ever survives contact with the enemy, and a profound  understanding of this concept is what has led to the Dark Hunters truly incredible success rate. During battle Milo is the eyes and ears of the Dark Hunters. Being a Fae, he is quite adept at flight and able to perform reconnaissance duties. But he is far more than a mere scout being an excellent tactician as well. When needed he can call for an ‘audible’ and quickly implement a necessary change in strategy.

## Personal Life

Milo came to Hogwarts as Jett Parish and made an immediate mark on the school. Being a person of incredible compassion Jett was a friend and counselor to all, helping students and professors alike through some profoundly difficult situations. Professor Parish eventually went through a personal difficulty, a soul split which created Envy, a much darker, albeit more powerful, version of Jett. But this dark version of Jett still had a heart, proof of how compassionate of a person Jett truly is.

For a time the two souls were at odds with each other, both vying for control of Jett’s body. But eventually both sides of Jett worked in conjunction with each other, although they were still separate entities.

On a particularly difficult hunt Jett ran into some former ‘friends’. Although the details of their past relationship is unclear, these former allies now hated Jett and attacked immediately. Jett fended them off and eventually the other Dark Hunters came to help but not before Jett received a serious enchanted wound that cannot be healed. Professor Parish has hidden this fact from Fortis out of concern for his reaction.

Jett eventually identified as a male and with the help of Professor Winthrop found a potion capable of making the transition biological, changing his name to Milo.

Being a fae Milo excels at wand-less magic.

Milo loves to sing and enjoys hearing others sing as well.

Professor Obadiah Lisk

## Personal Life

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.

Professor Mara Fawnfellow

Mara Fawnfellow taught health and sex education in nomaj public schools for 7 years. After recognizing the need, Ilvermorny extended an offer to her to teach sex education with them. She accepted and stayed with Ilvermorny for 5 years. Upon increasing STI and consent issues at Hogwarts, administrators looked for a solution. They saw what Mara was teaching at Ilvermorny, and offered her a teaching position.

## Personal Life

### Childhood

Mara was born, in the United States, to Nomaj/Muggle parents. At Ilvermorny, she aced Nomaj Studies, and looked for the similarities, hoping for a way to eventually bridge the divide. She quickly realized that love, relationships, and human sexuality were a common thread, and independently researched as much as she could (often to her classmate’s and professor’s amusement about the subject).

### Hogwarts Career

As an Ilvermorny Horned Serpent, Mara fits in with the Ravenclaw’s and has taken that as her adopted Hogwarts House. She acts as an assistant to the Ravenclaw head, and mentor to many Ravenclaws. She’s been frustrated with how outdated some of the Hogwarts curriculum is, and is working to change it.

### Conciliantis

Mara has a natural affinity for matchmaking, and loves providing love and flirting advice to the other professors. She wears a wedding ring, although not much is known about her deceased spouse. She also has an amulet that never leaves her neck.

### #endgraine / #savegraine

Mara is quite lonely and was attracted to Professor Grimm, even though he was in a relationship with Rufus Raine. After repeatedly having her advances spurned, Mara grew increasingly more and more emotionally erratic. Her friends, colleagues, and even some students tried to talk sense into her. However, she removed her amulet, revealing a half-demon side that only her childhood friend, Juniper, knew about (Mara's mother was a succubus). She attempted to kidnap Professor Raine, who secretly used the Imperious Curse on her to get away, then kidnapped Professor Thomas, all in a misguided attempt to attract Grimm's attention. Although nobody but Thomas knows exactly what happened, Mara let her go, and then went to Raine for help. Professor Raine used Obliviate to wipe Mara's memory of Grimm, returning her to her usual self. Although others at Hogwarts still remember all the events, Mara does not.

Professor Nathaniel Malik

## Academic and Professional Career

Nathaniel never excelled at school, although he didn’t do poorly either. This was mainly due to his lack of effort rather than a lack of skill. Any casual observer would notice the ease in which he picked up almost any subject. In truth Nathaniel actually found most classes too easy and was bored.

But one class eventually piqued his interest: Magical artifacts. He has a true gift for understanding and using items enchanted by magic. He can take only hours to determine the purpose of an unknown magical object when other professors will take days or weeks. The challenge of the unknown intrigues him, but what truly inspires him is the darkest of exotic items: horcruxes. He does not desire their power for he has a keen hated of dark magic, but he wants to be the one to destroy them, and the more he studied them the stronger this desire became.

Many students who are familiar with Muggle culture refer to him as **"Professor Indy,"** although he is unsure why.

## Personal Life

Widely considered one of the greatest living experts on magical items he has spent countless hours on quests hunting for these treasures. Dabbling in both freelance and private work, he has even helped the Ministry with multiple archeological excavations and ancient ruin explorations.  Known for his bold plans and willingness to take risks, many think he has a death wish, but he is simply determined to get the job done. He has had several bad experiences taking others on these expeditions and therefore prefers to work alone.

Because of his dashing personality he is quite the ladies man, being frequently involved in the Hogwarts Professors’ social scene and even occasionally attempting to set his friends up in romantic relationships. Despite this popularity he feels that he doesn’t quite fit in at Hogwarts, hence his willingness to leave it so often in search of rare magical objects. In some ways, the constant search for adventure is his way of running from himself and his true potential, which he fears.

   **Like most Hufflepuffs, he likes snacking and sleeping in.**
