History:

David was born to British Muggleborn mother and a Pureblood of Russian descent, his parents met while his father had studied abroad at Hogwarts in their youth, after a tumultuous and on again and off again relationship, David was finally conceived forty years after their initial meeting. He was given his mothers name as during her pregnancy she learnt of her lovers fascination and cultist following in dark magic circles in Volgograd, in the seventh month of her pregnancy, David's father died and his mother relocated back to Torquay with her family.

David's early childhood was mostly revolving around football and his friends, his mother kept quiet about his magical lineage and secretly hoped that he was a squib, however by age seven it was clear David was magical, though she always explained away the strange things happening around him and he was clueless until his letter arrived. He leapt at the opportunity and took up the offer and went to Hogwarts, his first two years were uneventful, oblivious to the even more pronounced class system in the magical world and interested in just about everything he could lay his eyes on.

At the conclusion of his second year David was met at Kings Cross station by several men who spoke poor English, they conveyed their message succinctly and David left with them immediately. When they arrived in the industrial city of Chelyabinsk, that was where the kind words ended, naively David had taken them at their word, and he soon found himself in the company of the people that his father associated with, his compliance ensured by the group who was holding his mother elsewhere in the city. While he was seen as his fathers son, the man that had once lead the group, he was treated like he was nothing, they weren't training him to be his fathers replacement, but instead a pit bull that they could use for their own devices. His summer soon turned into a boot camp, he learnt things that he never would have wanted to, and soon became accustomed to them, desensitized to the things his captors were showing him, and soon his hatred for them soon turned to hatred for himself for being so powerless to stop it.

When he returned to the school the few friends that he had noticed the change, but he pushed them far enough away from him that it was soon not an issue, he was a loner and made sure that people knew to steer clear of him. He drew little attention to himself once he had isolated himself, and turned to the library and his classes for the excuse for his solitude and quiet demeanor to not raise any questions amongst the professors, his marks were good enough so they assumed him to be fine.

Over the remainder of his school years he was a mixture of destruction and quiet contemplation, his summers were a flurry of action, training and schooling in the darker arts, and the months spent at the castle were spent in furthering his knowledge on the theory of magic. All the while his mother was being as keenly watched as he was, if he were to disobey anything put to him, then it would be her to suffer the punishment, he did not put a foot out of line and did his best to ensure his mothers safety, by the end of his seventh year he came to resent his mother without being able to explain it, somehow it was her that was the cause of the pain and suffering he experienced under their hands.

Midway through the summer of 2016, David escaped as he was now able to use magic and travel legally through the magical world, he found refuge in a small english speaking community in Japan, they were remnants of a community of wizards that settled when westerners first discovered Japan, they were untouched by the modern world, and lived in a peaceful bubble in isolation from the outside world. David learnt much in his year here, finally he hoped that he had lost the interest of the group that had held his mother hostage, and figured that they had released or killed her once he had escaped, he finally felt that he could return to Britain.

Personality:

David didn't have much of a personality, having grown up in a matter of weeks at the age of thirteen he never really had a chance to develop one, he doesn't like people, the worst experiences in his life have been dealt to him by other people, and he regards everyone he meets with an immediate contempt and distrust.

He's studious and cautious, in an ideal world he prefers to have consideration for all factors before he makes a decision, as reflected by his NEWT results he prefers the solitude of books and research.

However the lessons he learnt in his summer have left him with several short comings, he has a temper that is almost uncontrollable, when he feels threatened or insulted, he has a habit of using his fists and wand to tell them how he feels rather than using words.

Appearance:

David has the scars and size to prove it, he has a muscular build and only his face is bare of any distinguishing marks, broad shoulders and a large frame to support him, his build belies and misleads those he comes up against, as usually those with his size and looks are not the most intelligent people, but his interests are more intellectually related than his appearance.

He stands confidently however makes sure that he does not look intimidating, he has developed a knack for not drawing attention to himself and part of that is appearing unassuming and not at all too interesting. He wears clothes that hide his frame and often appear to be out of touch with the times, but the truth is he usually gets them from second hand stores.

His chest and back are covered in smattering's of scars, from the lessons he learnt as well as the mistakes that he made when he got into bad situations, usually care was taken to hide those scars and blemishes that he incurred in more visible areas, and strangely it was him that hid those. Hiding his weaknesses from any prying eyes.
