Grandchild of a powerful Lt.Colonal in the Soviet Air Defense’s Wizarding division, Syrian lacked not in material possessions, however, the child was never truly cared for.

In the late 1950’s, Syrian’s grandfather decided it would be best to immigrate to France to avoid the mounting political tensions caused by the Cold War.

Only the best was expected of Syrian, as a child, he had the best of everything; tutors, clothing, playmates, toys…but he was expected to be the best.

The boy grew up thinking that he was the Lt.Colonal’s son, and that Annabel was his older sister. By the time that Syrian was three Annabel had all but disappeared out of his life.

Years went by, and Syrian was on his way to becoming a perfect pureblooded child. But when he was 10 his grandfather because seriously ill with the Dragon Pox, prompting his mother to come out of hiding to take care of her ailing father.

The sudden shift in caretakers startled young Syrian, though his grandfather was a strict man and Syrian was brought up in a house hold rigid with military style the old man was still caring towards the boy. Annabel on the other hand was cruel and malicious, mentally and physically abusing the boy. The worst happened that summer when his grandfather died, his mother, whom was apparently never official disowned, became the sole heir to the Russian’s fortune. Distraught, the boy hid himself with in various locations with in the house to avoid Annabel’s torture.

Once at school the boy developed an taste for study, spending his time between the pitch and the library Syrian was well liked by all he encountered. None would ever guess the horrors the boy lived during the summer breaks.

The summer before 6th year Syrian had enough, Annabel had drunkenly suggested that the boy offer himself to a “friend” of hers, the friend, amused told Annabel that she had t be the worst mother know t man for offering her son to a stranger. Horrified at the knowledge that Annabel was his mother, Syrian flew into a fit of rage and killed all the guest in the house and proceeded to set it on fire.

Other Notes:
• Are you playing any other characters here? Yes, the Admins know who

Seriously, we need to make a move AWAY from abused children, here. This is like number four or five, and we don't have that many characters in play. I'm starting to think the Lestranges are the most normal family, going, and that's NOT OKAY.

So, that said, this is the last app we'll be considering on that theme, for a while.

Otherwise, I don't see anything appallingly wrong, here. I like the boar. Excellent choice, but I also kind of know this character, from before...

I would like to point out that mental instability needed to be a Death Eater can only come from childhood trauma


and by before you totaly mean the FUTURE

One need not be mentally unstable to be a Death Eater. Certainly not at this point in time. As long as it follows the views you were brought up with, it's perfectly rational. I imagine some of the characters see themselves as revolutionaries, and some such. That, and mental instability is not only caused by abuse.

That said, was there a reason Syrian picked the last name he has?

It means Wealthy in German, which is something he wanted to be.
