Name: Severus Snape Age: 57 Gender: cis-male Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Professor/Headmaster Faceclaim: Mads Mikkelsen

Biography:

Professor Severus Snape is an English half-blood wizard serving as Potions Master, Head of Slytherin House, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and Headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as well as a member of the Order of the Phoenix and a Death Eater. His double life played an extremely important role in both Wizarding Wars against Voldemort.

The only child of Muggle Tobias Snape and witch Eileen Snape (née Prince), Severus was raised in the Muggle dwelling of Spinner's End, which was near the home of the Evans family, though in a poorer area. He met Lily and Petunia Evans when he was nine. Severus started at Hogwarts with Lily in 1971, where he was Sorted into Slytherin House. This put him in the same year as Lily but unfortunately for him in her rival house. Severus became the immediate enemy of James Potter and Sirius Black and was a frequent victim of their bullying. Snape, when young, developed a passion for the Dark Arts, which increased as his desire for revenge against his bullies grew stronger.

Severus excelled at the Dark Arts from an early age. At the age of eleven, he knew more curses and hexes than most of the seventh year students. He reportedly was friends with a gang of Slytherins who later became Death Eaters, including Avery and Mulciber. Severus was credited with creating a good number of popular spells like Levicorpus, Liberacorpus, Muffliato, and curses like Langlock, the Toenail Growth Hex, and his signature curse, Sectumsempra. Other Slytherins that Sirius mentioned as being friends with Severus included Evan Rosier, Wilkes and Sirius's cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. Severus also had contact with Lucius Malfoy, who was a prefect during his first year and greeted him kindly when he was sorted into the Slytherin House. Severus was made a member of the Slug Club presumably because of his talent in Potion-making. Horace Slughorn even kept a picture of him as a student, clutching his copy of Advanced Potion-Making. However, Horace did not actually have many hopes for Severus's future, as his photograph was kept behind many others.

As an active Death Eater, one of Snape's biggest contributions was letting Lord Voldemort know about the prophecy Sybill Trelawney made to Dumbledore. This part of the prophecy could have applied to either Harry or Neville, who was also born at the end of July to parents who were members of the Order. Once Lord Voldemort decided to target the Potters over the Longbottoms, Snape begged Lord Voldemort to at least spare Lily so Snape could be with her. Lord Voldemort agreed, then did not follow through on this promise.

Shortly before Lily Evans was murdered by Lord Voldemort, Snape changed sides and became a member of the Order of the Phoenix as well as a double agent during the Second Wizarding War. With tremendous difficulty, Snape prevented Lord Voldemort from learning the truth about his loyalties.

Despite the opinions of most others including Harry during his early life, Albus Dumbledore trusted Snape for reasons that were kept between them both until their deaths. Despite Snape killing Dumbledore, it is learned that they had a special agreement for him to do so. The relationship between Dumbledore and Snape would be one of unusually strong loyalty, so much so that Snape agreed to kill Dumbledore upon the latter's own request. Before Dumbledore's death, Snape promised to protect the students of Hogwarts from the Death Eaters, who would inevitably take control of the Ministry of Magic as well as the school.

Note:

I understand that Severus dies at the end of the series. However, I will write him as if he survived the war. I have a thing about using dead actors as face claims, hence the replacement of Alan Rickman. He was an amazing actor and his legacy will live on. However, the man has passed and he deserves to rest in peace.

Name: Ezio Auditore da Firenze Age: 40 Gender: cis-male Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins Faceclaim: Tom Hiddleston Biography:

Ezio Auditore da Firenze was a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance, a Master Assassin and the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins. A member of the House of Auditore, Ezio remained unaware of his Assassin heritage until the age of 17, when he witnessed the hanging of his father and two brothers, Federico and Petruccio. Forced to flee his birthplace with his remaining family members—his mother and sister—Ezio took refuge with his uncle in the Tuscan town of Monteriggioni, at the Villa Auditore. After learning of his heritage from Mario, Ezio began his Assassin training and set about on his quest for vengeance against the Templar Order, and their Grand Master, the Spaniard Rodrigo Borgia, who had ordered the execution of his kin.

During his travels, Ezio managed to not only unite the pages of the Codex, written by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Mentor of the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins, but also to save the cities of Florence, Venice, and Rome from Templar rule. He ensured the future travels of Christopher Columbus to the New World, liberated Rome from Borgia rule, and prevented the rise to power of Ercole Massimo's Cult of Hermes, helping spread the Renaissance and Assassin ideals of independence and free will throughout Italy.

In the years that followed, Ezio began a quest to rediscover the lost history of the Order. Traveling to the aged fortress of Masyaf in order to learn more about the Assassins before him, he discovered it overrun with Templars and made his way to the city of Constantinople to uncover the location of the Masyaf keys which, as he discovered, would unlock the fortress's fabled hidden library when brought together.

Name: Dr. Max Goodwin Age: 38 Gender: cis-male Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Doctor/Medical Director Faceclaim: Ryan Eggold

Biography:

Dr. Maximus "Max" Goodwin is Medical Director at New Amsterdam Medical Center after working for five years at clinic in Chinatown after having been appointed by the Dean as the new Medical Director, with hopes to strengthen the hospital's reputation and increase efficiency. His appointment is initially controversial, and his sweeping policies — such as firing everyone in the Cardiac Surgical department — seem rash. On his fifth day, the management team suggests firing Max, however he reiterates that he was hired to make changes in the hospital. Max believes the situation to be a win-win, if the board fires him, he saves his marriage, however if he stays, he saves the hospital. The board grant him six-month probation; however, he suggests that three is enough.

Max and his twin sister Luna were born at New Amsterdam. When they were eight, Luna died from a hospital acquired infection that could have been prevented. Her death inspired Max to become a doctor as he wanted to make sure that no other family would be forced to go through the same preventable tragedy his family went through. Little else is known about Max's adult history prior to his employment at New Amsterdam. The only thing that is known, is that he was the Director of a clinic in Chinatown and as mentioned by his late wife he has won awards for his radical treatment of woman with Zika and is specialized in infectious disease like Ebola. He graduated from Brown University. Shortly before the series Max and his wife Georgia Goodwin, are pregnant and agree to both quit their jobs to look after the baby, Georgia ends up sacrificing her career as a dancer and Max gives up his job in Chinatown. But despite this, weeks later Max accepted Dean Fulton's job offer to be the new Medical Director of New Amsterdam Medical Center. Georgia finds out and kicks him out of their apartment.

On a jog to work, Max begins to hold his throat at one point, subtly showing his upcoming health issues. His first encounter within the hospital begins with the janitorial staff and nurses. They are having a conversation about him in one of the change/locker rooms and don't realize he is the new medical director and can understand everything they are saying. Despite their rudeness though, he is kind to them and walks out with Dora Williams, his new assistant. After meeting with Dora and getting a tour of the hospital he meets Helen Sharpe and clashes heavily with her when he expresses that he wants her to spend more time in OR and less time on tv to which she laughs before heading off. The first action that Max takes in his new role is setting up a meeting in the auditorium to discuss issues about the hospital and try out new tactics. His is willing to take any advice and concerns the staff have to offer, but no one replies to his question "how can I help" so he begins by firing the entire cardio-surgical department and promising to bring in more experienced attendings, thereby reducing the number of inexperienced residents. Max again tries to open the floor for suggestions and is happy to oblige when Lauren Bloom asks to abolish the waiting room. This also encourages Iggy Frome to ask for better quality food. After the meeting, Max decides to ask Lauren to do a biopsy on his throat, the second signal he might have health issues. Max eventually hires back Floyd Reynolds as head of Cardiothoracic surgery on Bloom's suggestion and tasks him with forming a new, better department. Helen Sharpe tells him that he has squamous cell carcinoma, which is also known as throat cancer. although on telling him she realizes that he is aware of this and becomes his oncologist.

Max's cancer is relatively constant throughout the following months; however, it shows no signs of shrinking, and Dr. Sharpe eventually hands him off to Dr. Stauton when the two undergo issues with their relationship. After Staunton becomes Max’s doctor, she soon buckles down on him and even ends up taking his keys so he will have to explain to him why he rescheduled. She doesn't understand his reluctance to get his cancer treated but ends the conversation here. In preventable though Max finds out that his cancer is not responding to chemo and is given double the dose of what he usually gets.

This ends up taking away the majority of his energy and makes him fatigued for the most part. His tumor does begin to shrink, however, but his situation deteriorates rapidly, and Max becomes so fatigued he is unable to walk without aid. Seeing this, Sharpe promises to find an alternative means of treatment for Max and forces him to take time off to get better, much to his dismay. He is later treated by Dr. Valentina Castro, who treats his Cancer using a new treatment method. He enters remission. Max has a young daughter named, Luna. On the day Luna was born via a home birth c-section, Max and his wife Georgia were involved in a car accident when a stolen ambulance slammed into their ambulance. Georgia was killed a couple hours later from a brain bleed.

Name: Lucius Malfoy Age: 50s Gender: cis-male Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Government Offical/Lord Faceclaim: Jason Isaacs Biography:

Lucius Malfoy is a British pure-blood wizard, and son of Abraxas Malfoy, husband of Narcissa Black, the father of Draco Malfoy and the grandfather of Scorpius Malfoy. As well as a member of the Malfoy family. Lucius was educated at Hogwarts, where he was made a prefect in Slytherin House. As an adult, Lucius was an aristocratic wizard and patriarch of the Malfoy family, believing strongly in notions of blood purity and the superiority of pure-blood wizards. He joined the Death Eaters, who shared his views on blood purity, and participated in the First Wizarding War, becoming Voldemort's second-in-command. However, he was replaced by Bellatrix Lestrange in the Second Wizarding War.

After Lord Voldemort's first defeat, Lucius managed to avoid imprisonment by lying that he had been acting under the Imperius Curse. He and his family remained members of the social elite, though Lucius continued to demonstrate his prejudice. He attempted to sabotage Arthur Weasley's career by slipping Arthur's daughter an old school diary of Tom Riddle's, opening the Chamber of Secrets in 1992, and in 1994, he participated in the humiliation of a Muggle family after the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.

When Voldemort returned, Lucius once again served him as a Death Eater, leading the efforts to obtain the prophecy Voldemort sought. In the battle that ensued, the prophecy was destroyed, and Lucius and his comrades were imprisoned in Azkaban in 1996. Although Voldemort broke them out of prison in 1997, he was displeased with Lucius for his failures and treated the Malfoys with much disdain and abuse. Lucius and his family finally rebelled against Voldemort's tyranny and defected before the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, with them all surviving the Second Wizarding War. Because he and his family defected from the Death Eaters they were pardoned for their crimes after Voldemort's final defeat and did not serve a stint in Azkaban.

Narcissa is an important part of Lucius's life and will be present post Graduate verse. She's the mother to his son. Now, I don't mind having Narcissa be divorced or Lucius is having an affair.
