◊ CALCULATINGLore is always considering every option when he enters a situation. He doesn't like going without a plan, and always can come up with one as he needs it. As a result, he doesn't like chaos he can't control. ◊ INTELLIGENTLore is extremely intelligent. He loves to learn, and enjoys good mental challenges. The harder the challenge, the more Lore enjoys them. ◊ ALOOFLore is particularly standoffish when he first meets people. He's been around for centuries, and believes that he has grown past mortal squabbles. Therefore, it is hard for him to associate well with anyone still human. ◊ FOCUSEDWHen Lore starts on a project, he focuses on it to nearly the exclusion of everything else. He doesn't like it when his attention is diverted, and despises it when someone actually manages to successfully keep him from his appointed task. ◊ IMPARTIALLore likes to believe that as an immortal, he has overcome petty mortal squabbling, and as a result, refuses to favor one side or another in any argument. He listens to both sides, and if he thinks that one is in the wrong, he will say so, despite who that might be. He doesn't hold his tongue or judgement for anyone. ◊ ECCENTRICBecause of living for centuries, Lore is rather eccentric. He tends to have tics and habits that confuse others, but are completely reasonable to him. If he feels that the silverware in a drawer needs to be arranged in just the right way, he will do so, despite whoever might disagree.

CHILDHOODFirmin Enoch Deadman, as Lore was known when he was alive, doesn't remember much about his childhood. Born to a rather large family, he was unfortunately the only child that survived from his family as all of his siblings died during an outbreak of spattergroit. As such, his parents tended to be protective of him, and raised him as carefully as they could, as he was the heir to their family. Beyond proper schooling in arithmetic and reading, he also learned about his family's history, which ignited in him a love for the subject that would carry him throughout his life.
SCHOOL YEARS Firmin of course was sent to Durmstrang, as fear from his parents about losing their son to a muggle attack was high. He was rather well-regarded in school, and learned as much as he could while there. He also met his future wife there, Melesina, and he began to court her during this time.
POST GRADUATIONAfter graduation, Firmin finally got down to business and worked under one of Ollivander's ancestors, practising and learning the craft of wandmaking for years. He also married Melesina and had two children before she died of dragon pox during her third pregnancy. Distraught and not knowing how to handle it, he turned to drinking, wasting his time and what was left of his family's fortune in pubs across London. It was there that he met Noctis, a strange man in Firmin's mind, but he was hardly one to judge Noctis's strange habit of preferring to drink only red wine. He hardly saw the other man actually eat, and while he had questions, he never asked them of Noctis.
However, what remained of Firmin's life crashed around him when his sister-in-law decided to take his children away, determined that he was unfit to raise them. As a result, Firmin went on a drinking binge to rival any others he might have had. Noctis ran into him then, The man decided to offer Firmin a way out of the life he was leading, and took him away to his home. It was then that Firmin finally found out what Noctis truly was, and why he was semingly interested in Firmin. Noctis turned Firmin that night, changing his fate forever.
LIFE AFTER TURNINGNoctis turned the newly-minted Lore with one thought in mind: to make wands for vampires. At the time, there was a ban on anyone who wasn't a wizard to own one, and Noctis had figured that having a wandmaker for a fledgling would be to his benefit should he ever run across another wizard fledgling. He did however teach Lore well, and introduced the fledgling to the vampire council that Noctis was currently a part of.
For Lore, it was a learning experience. He discovered his abilities late one night at the scene of a murder, and was able to give in explicit detail a description for the local constabulary to go off of. He also watched his children grow older, have their own children and lives, and eventually die from afar. He wasn't sure how well anyone would take to knowing they were the children of a vampire, and he decided to keep his distance, finding solace in the fact that he at least left a legacy behind when he was turned.
Life with the clan, however, proceeded as usual. Lore made a few wands in secret, and managed to never leave any trace that he was the maker when someone came across a vampire with a wand. He quickly became Noctis's favourite fledgling, quickly rising through the ranks of the clan until he was Noctis's second in command.
However, it was an event during the 2020's that caused many problems for his clan. The council was found slain, Noctis amongst them, and whatever council was left was missing. Acting quickly, Lore managed to scavenge what he could out of a bad situation and saved his clan from utter destruction from the actions of 'The Family'. Afterward, Lore was left to appraise what was left and try and figure out what to do next. Dragon, one of the last council members left alive, reappeared and took command, causing Lore to watch the elder vampire carefully. He neither trusted nor distrusted Dragon, but there was always something about him that Lore didn't exactly care for.
However, recently Dragon himself has come up missing, and the rebuilt council has decided to send Lore out from his home in Germany to investigate the matter. Lore's abilities were very crucial to the task, especially since they had also tasked him with finding out what happened with other vampires that also turned up missing. Lore ended up in England again, the land of his living years, and decided to seek out what had happened.

➥ Personality
▶ NO-NONSENSE — He isn't as straight-laced as he used to be, but Wolfgang is straightforward and serious when he had to. While his life has its own struggles, it never stopped him from moving forward and doing what needs to be done. Wolfgang also doesn't tolerate giving up easily and beating around the bush, and applies this to himself willingly, but the drawback was that he is pretty stubborn. Though it always made him feel content over the knowledge that he put a lot of effort to what his doing in everyday life, whether it's a success or not.
▶ INSIGHTFUL — Wolfgang is good at picking up things, quickly so. He knows what was up and usually, he is good at keeping up with the gossips and newspapers. In a way, he's dedicated in being caught up with the going-ons since he doesn't like being locked out the loops. Oftentimes, he has a deep understanding to people and doesn't dismiss their feelings, even if there are times that their feelings won't stop him from doing something necessary.
▶ CLEVER — While not a natural-born genius, Wolfgang is intelligent enough to do well in academics. But, he prides himself on being a street smart. It's hard to fool him and he had been through some situations enough to not be a victim of naivety. He is also pretty adept at persuading people that he can pretty much lie about himself, if he wants to. Wolfgang likes to do things that can challenge his mind which includes observing through the telescope, playing challenging piano pieces, and conceptualizing.
▶ TIGHT-LIPPED — Wolfgang, while he was nowadays willing to engage to social interaction, isn't one to talk too much about himself. At least openly. He is simply quiet due to his lack of interest and his distaste of noisy situations, but he does make an effort to small talk. However, Wolfgang just doesn't like talking too much about himself and if anything, he either omits or do white lies. It can end up being troublesome as it is hard to read him and people tend to be caught off-guard with what he says.
▶ SOCIABLE — He used to a really timid youngster who felt very uncomfortable at talking to people that it drove him to his comfort zone, but he has grown out of that shell after his years in Durmstrang and his time with his cousins. Wolfgang is quiet and usually doesn't have the interest of talking a lot about himself, but that doesn't mean that he isolates himself from people. In fact, he does small talks and actually enjoys social gatherings, in his own reserved way as a listener. Old habits die hard though, he still feels uncomfortable in social gatherings. But he tries.
▶ CARING — He may be serious, but Wolfgang doesn't fail to show that he deeply cares in his own stern way. Protective, even. He may be a bit distant to his peers in the past but once someone showed deep compassion to him in the long run, Wolfgang is one friend you can count on. He does his very best to understand people and does his best to be as honest as possible if they earned his trust.

➥ Background History
▶ CHILDHOOD —
Wolfgang Deadman was the only child of Viola Schultz and Firmin Deadman, a result of a short-lived relationship and a fling. Viola decided to raise Wolfgang as she was a childless widow, and she always wanted to have a child on her own. Wolfgang's father, as much as he allowed his surname to be passed to Wolfgang, was (very) rarely ever in the picture. Viola's parents and brother Reinhard found it worrying about her raising a child on her own, but Viola wasn't bothered with it. Because of Viola's busy job as a witch watcher, Wolfgang usually stayed at home with a babysitter or preferably his uncle Reinhard's family home and potion shop, as they were more accepting than his grandparents. The grandparents were simply distant to Wolfgang at best, mainly because they were always busy in doing business trips... or that's what they claim. In truth, it was because they were upset that the child was born from a premarital affair, and as far they were concerned they assumed that the father was "hopeless". Also, Wolfgang and his cousins, Konrad, Susanna, and (later) Lorenz get along very well, to the point that he might as well be considered a sibling.
Wolfgang grew up with his magic kicking in early, but he also grew to hate being out in the burning sun and the fact that he was a pair of fangs. Viola, being perceptive, was worried about this and was beginning to realize that maybe his father wasn't as human as she thought he was. At age eleven, Wolfgang was reintroduced to his father Firmin and was given a wand as a gift. Then in that same night, he stumbled in a conversation of his parents, Viola expressing her concerns that her son's daily physical struggles was unusual- which was how he found out that Firmin was actually a vampire... which means that Wolfgang was half-vampire. It made a lot of sense, given that his daily experiences felt unusual compared to his cousins', but it still shook the young boy. A week later, he then asked his Uncle Reinhard about what he thought about vampires but regretted it after hearing that his uncle actually expressed fear towards vampires and werewolves, too. Wolfgang claimed that this didn't bother him and never told his mother about it. But by the time that he was going to Durmstrang, it was clear that this revelation affected him deeply for an eleven-year-old to handle.
▶ SCHOOL LIFE —
Wolfgang attended Durmstrang with his cousin Susanna, who were then sorted together in Vihrea in the same year. While they always hang out, Wolfgang was still a very timid student who only had a few friends in his year due to his need to not attract much attention. He was always occupied in playing a piano in solitude, but he was still very good in wandwork. Eventually, when Susanna proved that she won't shun him, Wolfgang confessed about his lineage. Thankfully, she was able to accept after she got over the shock stage, but it really didn't change Wolfgang's harsh opinion about himself.
At some point in his early school life Wolfgang met a student in his year named Rasmus Rehnquist, and they were quick friends due to their similar backgrounds. Then they ended up being close friends, to the point that Wolfgang felt it was right thing to do to entrust Rasmus with his secret. Eventually, Rasmus grew into an unpleasant vindictive person and Wolfgang had to act as a mediator, to the point that his other friends (including Susanna) became worried of his relationship with Rasmus. They were right, because Wolfgang grew weary of Rasmus and they ended up having fights.
At his fifth year, Wolfgang witnessed Rasmus (to put it lightly) harassing "his girlfriend" that he rushed in and stood up for her. It ended up with a duel that attracted a lot of students, and Rasmus lost. Unable to handle humiliation, Rasmus decided to destroy Wolfgang's confidence to fight back, by ratting his secret out to his other family. In front of Uncle Reinhard's face. As predicted, all the effort Wolfgang worked hard for was gone and there was intensity in the household. He was very aware that Uncle Reinhard and Lorenz didn't take the information so well that they and Wolfgang avoided each other. His mother, Konrad, and Susanna were trying so hard to dispel the tension that Wolfgang decided to accept that he was now hated, barely even at home in the holidays. Even his other friends' attempts to cheer him up didn't do matters since they had no idea what's going on, only that he was starting to have a strained family issue.
In his seventh year, Wolfgang and his uncle were helping to move Konrad's things for his new home during the holiday. It ended up with a tense atmosphere, resulting the former claiming that he won't be staying longer, feeling like he was sucking the happiness out of people. That was until an armed dark wizard broke into the house, committing robbery and attempted murder. Reinhard was very quick to fight off the wizard, but it went downhill. He was about to get the final blow when Wolfgang pushed his uncle out the way and didn't let the robber leave until the aurors arrive. It was a quite a violent fight, leaving Wolfgang in a critical condition. The dark wizard was apprehended in the end, but Reinhard felt guilty for letting his fear get in the way of how he saw his nephew. Especially when despite all of Wolfgang's resentment from the treatment he still went his way to take a spell shot without hesitation. As Wolfgang was recovering in the hospital, Reinhard and (eventually) Lorenz visited to apologize. The three of them began to reconcile, and things were positively becoming the way Wolfgang didn't expect. Wolfgang ended his final school feeling at ease, now that he was accepted for who he was in the Schultz family, much to his mother's happiness
▶ POST-GRADUATION —
Wolfgang wanted to become a teacher (in any subject, though he preferred Astronomy) but he had to be twenty-three years old to apply, so he decided to work in a career that involved doing what he loved. Though he tried to consider stable income, too, since he was trying to be as independent as possible. So, he decided to apply in a well-known observatory and began his work as an astronomer. Since the place also offers private tutoring, Wolfgang has been willing to tutor young students as much as he can. He still kept in touch with his family more often and made an effort to improve his social life in his workplace, and he initially found it weird about how peaceful his adult life was. It was the best life there was, as far as he was concerned.
The moment he hit twenty-three, he was considering teaching in Durmstrang. But he didn't feel like he was ready. Well, Wolfgang had considered it but the possibility of having to teach Rasmus' kids in his alma mater school ruled it out, as the latter became a parent three years ago. Which meant that he would have to deal with something related to the past again. There were also a series of events that he had to prioritize, too: The time Susanna's husband died during his line of work and he had to be there for his best cousin. He wasn't upset about it, Wolfgang thought that before becoming teaching, enjoying his life in his twenties is a better idea.
There came a time when Lorenz— who had visited the Welsh Dragon Sanctuary for a week— suggested Wolfgang that if he didn't want to teach in Durmstrang, he should try teaching in Hogwarts. He was willing to accept it and bid farewell to his family before traveling to the UK. Wolfgang then bought a nice house in Ireland and was on his way to take the opportunity of teaching the Astronomy class. At least the upperclassmen, anyway. His life in Hogwarts was mundane, if not a little bit uncomfortable due to the fact that he had a hard time connecting with people in the staff like a fish out of water. Two years later during his time in Hogwarts, he was offered the job to study in Beauxbatons and accepted it, teaching the subject he knows best. From then one he started teaching there for seven years, where he started to open up to staff people as well as students. He may have joked that it must be the warmer weather of Beauxbaton that did it. Nevertheless, his family was proud of him for trying new things.
Now that he had a great experience in Beauxbatons, he stopped teaching for a year as a way to take a break and learn about himself. He thought about giving Hogwarts another chance as well as how he wanted to try dipping his toes to a new environment, and that's why he is back teaching in Hogwarts once more.
