→ OVERVIEW:
Brave and courageous with a lion heart, Caradoc Dearborn is every inch a true Gryffindor and a beloved friend by all due to his honesty and integrity. Born in Scotland, Caradoc was raised in the wizarding village of Portee on the picturesque Isle of Skye where his parents chose to settle into a quieter life after a lifetime of dangerous quests which took them across the globe. Bravery runs in the blood of both the Dearborn and Li families of which Caradoc is proudly related to, each with their own intense and brilliant family histories which are rooted deep within the wizarding world. SARA LI, his mother was a brilliant witch who had worked for the Japanese Ministry of Magic for a great many years before moving to London to aid in the protection of Japanese Magical Creatures. Travelling to Rome, Paris and onto London, Sara attempted to share her studies on the Oni, a deeply misunderstood creature she knew to have been featured in travelling circuses across Europe. An endangered creature due to the price on it’s horns, she ruthlessly pursued circus owners who kept them, joining a travelling circus herself to attempt to uncover the trade of the creature. While posing as an Oni keeper for a travelling circus in Paris she met Caradoc’s father, ADAHY DEARBORN an auror with a mysterious past who posed as a wizard dazzling crowds with windless magic of which he was an expert.
Undercover they began their love affair, travelling around the world attempting to rescue and save magical creatures from extinction. His mother and father’s love story was one that captured Caradoc’s imagination and he grew up with a taste of adventure and a love of magical creatures which his parents kept on their remote property just outside of Portee. It was a solitary upbringing but a beautiful one, surrounded by trees and the roar of the sea, Caradoc’s childhood was spent with his best friends. His parents who dazzled him with their escapades and their creatures who he lied beside dreaming up adventures that would take him across the world. Although his mother was very vocal about her family and her life in Japan before she came to London, his father spoke little of his life in Massachusetts. It hadn’t really occurred to Caradoc to inquire very much into it until it became apparent he shared the same magical abilities of his parents. Although Caradoc had always seen his mother use a wand, his father had never needed one. Adahy was extremely capable of very difficult magic with a simple spell or a wave of his hand and or a spell that his mother required a wand for. As most children in Britain obtain wands when they are eleven and are thus capable of wandless magic, Caradoc was unbothered by his magic rearing its head when he was angry or sad as it had with his mother and father.
But Caradoc wasn’t like most young wizards, the magic which occurred in strange spurts for most children he was able to control because of his father. Adahy began teaching him to control his magic while he was young. Chores became easy as a twirl of his hand engineered a sponge scrubbing a plate or bags of food flew outside to the garden to feed their firebirds. His ability was astounding and unlike anything many of the children in Portee were able to manage as they awaited their wands and their letters to Hogwarts. Caradoc too awaited his letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and when he was eleven years old it arrived. Hogwarts was everything Caradoc had imagined it would be, a beautiful castle with spralling green hills and a mysterious dark lake and forest which they were forbidden from venturing into. Someone who wasn’t very good at following the rules and had an immense appetite for danger, Caradoc rarely followed the rules and quickly befriended fellow trouble makers POPPY HOOKUM, DEMETRIUS MCLAGGEN and GWENOG JONES. Other people often found the pair high energy quite off putting, but Caradoc found them interesting and gleefully enjoyed exploring the outer edges of the school together and preaching the rights of all magical beings when they weren’t serving detention. Caradoc experienced his fair share of detentions whilst at Hogwarts and was a regular thorn in the side of PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL. But whilst like Poppy and Demetrius he got in trouble for taking down purists, he also had a habit for walking around after hours.
Exploring Hogwarts was simply due to Caradoc’s love of adventure, but his regular trips to the library and the restricted section were to do with another form of curiosity. Caradoc loved his life at Hogwarts but he longed to know more about his abilities. Wandless magic was not taught at Hogwarts and whilst Caradoc was comfortable with a wand he wondered why his classmates, like his mother, had needed the wands to control their magic. It was many nights getting caught wandering the halls and serving detentions for carrying books he shouldn’t be in the possession of that finally led I’m into the office of PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE who finally gave him a book which provided him some answers. Wandless magic was not taught at Hogwarts but it was taught in a few magical schools, Uagadou School of Magic and The Greylock School of Magic. Both schools had amazing history, but it was Greylock that peaked his interest. Founded by the Dearborn family, QALETAQA and his wife TALA DEARBORN built the school to teach their children and the children of their village who lived at the foot of Mount Greylock to control their magic. It was a small school at first, though over the years it grew to take on more teachers and greater numbers of students before becoming the most sought after school in The United States and the leading school to teach only wandless magic. The Dearborn family were firmly at the helm with the current headmaster TAIMA DEARBORN, a direct descendant of Qaletaqa and Talana of a similar age to Caradoc’s aging father Adahy.
Armed with his research he put it to his father the summer after he finished Hogwarts. Caradoc knew they were connected to Greylock in some way, but he wasn’t quite sure how. From a draw in his story his study Adahy produced a letter from Tala to Caradoc detailing his acceptance to Greylock when he was seven years old, based on his legacy status. Tala was his uncle and had been estranged from him after his father had abandoned his headmaster position at the school to chase a dream of becoming an auror. Caradoc was shocked and deeply hurt that his father would keep such an important part of his history from him. They had family in America, Caradoc had never met and a whole school had been open to him; he'd never gotten the chance to explore. Livid, Caradoc packed his belongings and moved out, renting a room in London with his best friend Poppy who was equally as irritated by their family as Caradoc was with his own. The pair had big dreams and only needed one another to make them a reality. Although Caradoc was curious about his legacy in America, a wider problem had captured his attention in Britain that was becoming worse as the years went by. Purist ideology was on the uptake and although the problem had been bad at Hogwarts it was becoming worse as they entered the wider world. Caradoc and Poppy had been firm members of CHARITY BURBAGE and BENJY FENWICK’s Sorcerers for Equality movement since Hogwarts, but knew they could be doing more.
Enrolling in the Auror programme, Caradoc studied hard to achieve his dream and quickly became a valued member of the department catching the eye of senior Auror KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT. Kingsley offered to mentor Caradoc after a few incidents at work had him flagged up on ALASTOR MOODY’s radar. Despite his talent, Caradoc had a bit of a tendency to put himself in dangerous positions in order to help or protect others, taking the law into his own hands and investigating cases without any help. It was his passion for justice, magical ability and desire to keep a close eye on him that prompted Kingsley to introduce Caradoc into The Order of The Phoenix, a secret group formed by Professor Dumbledore to keep Wizarding London safe from potential threat. Caradoc takes his role within the team very seriously, constantly working around the clock to look at cases from an angle which might be beneficial to the Order and berating Kingsley with his findings. Oftentimes, his accusations appear somewhat wild and under researched as Caradoc tries desperately to root out the death eaters amongst them. Presently, Caradoc has his eyes on KEIRA GREY, a Muggle-Born working at the coroner’s office whom the department frequently have worked with. Although Kingsley isn’t ready to hear it, Caradoc had no reason to suspect Keira until the passing of BOOKER BAGNOLD, but with fresh doubts now cast on the nature of his death Caradoc is admen Keira might have had a hand in covering it up and is determined to prove it.
