Description

Name: Drogo Blackwood
Age: 460
Gender: Male
House Affiliation: Ravenclaw (Head of House)
Classes: Defense Against the Dark Arts, Ghoul Studies

Blood Status: Pure, but a vampire now
Physical Description:
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 154
Hair: Blue-black
Eyes: Red
Drogo has wax-white skin and slightly sunken eyes with dark circles under them, his hair is blue-black. During his daytime classes he keeps his entire body wrapped up in heavy dark robes, exposing only his eyes and occasionally hands. In the night he wears considerably less, dressing more ‘normally’. Because of this he’s actually creepier looking in the daytime.

Personality: Prof. Blackwood is generally calm and quiet, not easily angered even in situations that should be embarrassing to him. He likes to see everything organized and clean, sometimes grading students down just for poor handwriting. To Drogo the nature of his subject is incredibly important and even if a student doesn’t get a good grade or can’t complete the class he is happy to tutor them privately, not wanting anyone to go out into the world unprepared for danger.

In general he takes a neutral stance on things, even if an action may be considered evil or selfish as long as it doesn’t bring harm to anyone but one’s self he isn’t likely to punish for it. Inter-house bickering and rivalries do irritate him slightly and he finds it incredibly distasteful to judge someone based on their blood, house, fashion, or even species. Oddly enough he doesn’t believe that there is such a thing as ‘dark arts’; to him nearly all magic can be used for good or evil; it’s the user and use which determines that, not the spell itself. Magic is like a knife to him, it can be used to carve, cook, create, or even save lives, but in the wrong hands it can also be used to harm them as well.

People (especially members of the staff) acting immature or causing problems because of fooling around gets under his skin and he is likely to detract points if he catches people being jerks to each other and making messes. However if he catches someone dabbling in dark arts he’s more likely to keep it a secret and try to help them through whatever is troubling them or causing them to turn that way, not wanting anyone’s entire life to be wrecked by a youthful mistake or naiveté.

History: Drogo Blackwood was born in 1588 to a pureblood family. At that time the purebloods had not all become inbred and were still thriving and well off. Their family actually had relatively good relations with the muggles of the area, openly helping them and living amongst them. This ended when his father was accidently killed in 1589 after being caught up in one of the many battles going on at the time in France. Following that his mother took him to a small all-wizard town in Eastern Europe.

He continued to live there until 1607, at which point he left his mother and new younger siblings alone and went to work hunting magic creatures for potion ingredients. In 1624 he began working for a group aiming to capture the eggs and horns of Romanian Longhorns and amassed quite a bit of wealth doing so. In 1627 he was overtaken by greed and allowed the other members of his group to be killed by the creatures, taking the treasure, eggs, and horns all for himself. Unfortunately he was unable to find his way home and became lost in the Carpatian Mountians. By the time he resurfaced in the wizarding world in about 1650 he was already a vampire. Meanwhile his siblings had grown up and continued the family.

In his early years as a vampire Drogo was rather vile towards humans and often toyed with them before killing them, never leaving a victim alive. He prayed almost exclusively on muggles as well, preferring their defenselessness to the real danger of attacking wizards. This continued until about the 1770s, at which point he started to mature past vampiric youth, cutting back quite a bit on the number he killed and often leaving a victim with enough blood to recover completely. In the 1790s he visited his family in Eastern Europe and then again in France, finding the Eastern European branch had stayed pureblood, while the French had begun welcoming half-bloods into the family.

By the early 1800s he’d started to forge new friendships and become a useful member of society again, though by 1885 he had moved away from his home in France to join a friend in England. There he lived in London until 1888, finally moving to Scotland where he has lived since.

The late 90s are the last time he admits to having killed anyone; from that point on he took to feeding only from willing blood donations.

In 2018 his friend, the former DADA professor, sent him a letter asking if he was interested in the job, and giving him a recommendation for it. Once that one left Drogo took the position and has taught it ever since. Most of the current staff was at one point his students; Drogo occasionally still treats them as such, having the most respect for the older staff.

Other: Over the years he never stopped practicing magic, and with quite a lot of time on his hands and a good deal of dedication Drogo became excellent at both wandless and non-verbal spell casting. While his main job is to teach DADA and Ghoul Studies he CAN be convinced to tutor students on the subjects.

Neither branch of his family has been pure blooded for over a hundred years; those descendants of his alive during the Wizarding Wars sided against the Death Eaters.

Weaknesses include fire, light, sunlight especially, he is 'allergic' to garlic and dislikes the smell of it among a few other herbs that he will not disclose to anyone but very trusted friends.

Sorry if something here doesnt jive with your concept of Harry Potter vampires but I researched all I could about them everywhere and filled in the 'blanks' with classic vampire myth.
