CHARACTER PROFESSION IF RELEVANT: vampire hunter. helps order with legal matters on the side.
SCHOOL ATTENDED & HOUSE IF RELEVANT: hogwarts, hufflepuff (for his last year only, went to koldovsdvoretz for two years prior to that, home-schooled before)
ALIGNMENT (the order/death eaters/etc) + GENERAL OPINIONS ON THE WAR/THEIR SIDE: member of the order, makes a good show of caring about all the sides of the struggle equally (and it’s not that he *doesn’t* care), but those working with him more frequently know that him taking on all the missions for eradicating particularly dangerous vampire’s on voldemort’s side has a rather manic edge to it.
CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:
- born to a family of wizards in rural estonia, edgar had a rather happy and careless childhood, learning magic from his mother alongside his many siblings, enjoying the simple life of a small, closely knit wix community. that is, until his sister caught the attention of the wrong man. a vampire, and one not in full control of his more bloodthirsty nature. he turned edgar’s sister while he was away to visit some distant relatives, and she in turn could not contain herself and, although moved by what she thought were her best intentions, shared the curse with her family. by the time edgar returned, it was already too late to stop what followed. the other locals were reasonably frightened by a sudden spike in the number of unchecked vampires, local authorities got involved, and because his family had been turned in a way considered ‘unsanctioned’, they were all exterminated. that’s what it said on the report later. exterminated. as if they were some animals. and the man who started it all walked free.
- edgar vowed to find and kill him after that. he was barely fourteen at the time, but stubborn and obsessed with vengeance. but he knew he needed the right skills and opportunities first. he was put in foster care and out of sheer luck accepted into koldovsdvoretz, where he was even more fortunate to meet the right people to teach him what he wanted to know. turned vampires weren’t particularly respected in magical russia, not after the chaos they commonly sowed just a few decades earlier.
- the summer after he turned sixteen he got to travel to prague on a dueling competition and that summer turned out to be a turning point because he met vitezislav. he was a vampire and edgar didn’t attempt to attack him only because he was also a member of the jury. though, during the next week they talked surprisingly often, because it turned out that as a born vampire, vitezislav shared much of the same distaste for what he called the ‘animalistic’ murder committed by his brethren. it was he who gave edgar the nudge at england and the storm brewing there, as well as the opportunities it could present.
- it wasn’t terribly hard to get into an exchange program to hogwarts for his last year, although rather than diligent studying, edgar had a single goal in mind: find out everything he could about the vampires gathering under what people whispered to be 'death eaters’. and, well, he got that and more.
- things moved quickly after that. he graduated, joined the order, although at first his presence was scarce, only when important missions hunting dark creatures were in order, because edgar spent plenty of time traveling, refining his skills. he met vitezislav again, which was both extremely confusing for his moral compass but also highly educational, made friends with a fellow hunter arina, whose reasons for doing what she did stayed a mystery to him, and well. hunted vampires. not any vampires, mind, he had spent too long studying them to still think that all of them were bloodthirsty monsters, but those that had the tales of blood spilled stretching after them? they all got on his list.
- which brings us to the here and now, him returning to the order, after hearing some particularly interesting stories of another of voldemort’s vampire pawns in need of being put down. and, seeing how they have come from odin himself, one of the formerly most respected vampire hunters in the region, edgar sees no reason to doubt their validity.
