The Character
Name: Roland Darrow
Nicknames (if any): Only at your own peril
Job Title: Headmaster
Age: 89
Blood: Half-Blood
Wand: Undisclosed
Personality: Very much set in his ways Darrow is incredibly wise and good-natured. He cares immensely for all those around him and does his best to guide them on the correct paths that they require. Though aged he has retained his vigour from youth, being immensely proud of his own skills and his new position as Head of Hogwarts. He nevertheless wishes to maintain strict discipline throughout the school being a follower of the old ways. He is considered by many as posh and his voice has a slight rasping quality from years of smoking a pipe, which he has eventually given up, but his voice only heightens his apparent wisdom. Being one who frequently uses clichéd expressions and always eager to hand out advice for the advancement of his pupils and teachers alike, using a sophisticated vocabulary and proud mannerisms to boot. He is a firm believer in equality between all races and will not tolerate under any circumstances the use of vile language and reference to people’s blood or colour of skin. Able to come down like a ton of bricks upon those he believes need such strict regulations and rules, he is not one to be trifled with, though his goodly nature and beaming smile win out.
With his age comes a confidence that he is always in the right, a major downfall of his, he knows this, but as he always says “we must be for ourselves in the end.” Such expressions and jargon he doth frequently use and is liable to slip into old tongues and mannerisms being an ancient wizard of immense power and skill. With a sharpness of eye and wit he is quick to take the utmost advantage of a situation, though his humour has been commented upon as dry, without doubt he does his best to keep those around him in high spirits.
Appearance: His age does deceive those around him, seemingly a man of only fifty in appearance he is in fact of the ripe old age of 89, or is he? It is really impossible to tell and he often claims he has indeed forgotten his own age.
History: Darrow had a long and illustrious history rising swiftly through the ranks of the Ministry and trying out his hand in all manner of activities even becoming a sailor for a short while, all to the good of knowledge, though he has no real thirst for it per say, he deems it necessary to know much about as much as humanely possible. Darrow hasn’t always been successful though having found himself in many a pickle; nevertheless he had the intellect to counter most problems.
