Name: Sebastian Alves
Age: 43
Blood Status: Muggleborn
House/School: Gryffindor/Hogwarts
Ministry Position: Mr. Alves works in the Department of Mysteries, and has for some time. He is known to possess a senior ranking within that department, though he does not run it... probably. As with everything in the Department of Mysteries, his actual job duties are veiled to those working outside it.
Appearance: Sebastian Alves is a man of middle years, height, and weight. His hair is black and slicked back, and he has worn the same moderately bushy beard for as long as anyone can remember. He has swarthy skin (a mudblood and an immigrant mother, it is said -- not proper wizarding stock at all) and a mole on his right cheek. Sebastian's eyes are dark and intense. He tends to wear a muggle suit under his ministry robes.
Reputation: Sebastian bristles with a surly energy. He is constantly in motion, often barking orders at underlings. He is notoriously private and paranoid and a lifelong bachelor. By reputation he is one of the most talented occlumens and soothsayers in the British isles.
Family Reputation(s): The Alves did not have a drop of magic blood until Sebastian came around. They are unknowns in the wizarding world.
History: London born to an English father and a mother of Italian descent, Sebastian grew up in a working class muggle household. Even before he knew that magic existed, he was fascinated by tales of wizards and pixie rings and the occult. When unexplainable things began happening around him, he delighted, for it was as a dream come true. But when a school official found him by chance and he was whisked off to Hogwarts to pursue a magical education, the study of magic ironically lost its... magic for him. The world was full of magic, as it turned out, but it was magic endlessly studied and cataloged by those who came before him.
It had always been the mystery that excited Sebastian, so perhaps it was no surprise that he veered off the beaten path at Hogwarts, exploring the forbidden forest, delving into esoteric studies, and generally prodding at forces that no young wizard should. This landed him in trouble more often than not. His fellow Gryffindors blamed him for singlehandedly losing the House Cup during his fourth year, and he was nearly expelled in his sixth year. He was an uneven student as well, but in the subjects he excelled he was truly brilliant. His divination teacher in particular recognized him as a true talent.
Sebastian applied to be an auror out of school, but his application was rejected. He was certainly skilled in combat magic, and does not know whether it was his disciplinary history, his parentage, or his eccentric interests which held him back. Shortly after he was scouted and recruited by the enigmatic Department of Mysteries. He has worked there ever since, and whatever it is he does there seems to involve frequent bodily injury and (if rumors are to be believed) has knocked him off his rocker.
