[i]Arthur is pretty much bang on 6ft and is of medium build. Although not a complete health freak, he is fit enough for the job and doesn’t have an awful lot of excess fat. His hair has already started going slightly grey despite his relatively young age, particularly on his beard. He tends to dress smart, often opting to wear a suite with a waistcoat and overcoat.[/i][/centre]

Arthur uses a heavily runed and charmed wooden staff named ‘Namor’. Through transfiguration, it can turn into a snake; as such the shape it takes when it ‘stiffens’ for use as a staff can vary. In the same way that small, neater wands are better suited to elegant refined spell-casting, Arthur’s staff is better suited to cruder spell-casting. Again, like a wand, his Staff is loyal to him.

[color=Yellowgreen][b]Biography:[/b][/color]
Arthur was born to Richard and Lilia Stone, both pure-blood wizards with promising careers in archaeology. Young life was, for the most part, relatively uneventful for Arthur – well, as far as wizarding lives are concerned. His parents, both very academic, made sure that he had a good education growing up and it seemed his future was bright. The first tragedy in Arthurs life occurred when he was seven. Unfortunately, his mother died in childbirth due to complications, along with what would have been his younger sister. Even with magic to aid them, some dire events are of course unavoidable. Although they were heartbroken, both Arthur and his father were able to move on with their lives and became closer as a result. 

When Arthur was ten he enrolled into Hogwarts, just a few years behind Harry Potter, and was sorted into Ravenclaw. He only spent a couple of years there however, as following the events of the 1994 Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, his father pulled him out of the school. Not willing to risk losing someone else dear to him, Richard began home-schooling his son and made him an apprentice archaeologist. As a result, during the events of the Second Wizarding War Arthur spent most of his time far removed from the rest of the wizarding world, in forgotten ruins and lairs. 

For just under twenty years, Arthur and his farther explored ancient sites all over the wizarding world, discovering long-lost secrets and lore. It became a passion that he shared with his father (and by extension his late mother). During this period, Arthur became particularly interested in Ancient Runes, as it became practically an essential component of understanding old texts of carvings. Moreover he became interested in how runes and charms could be applied to other objects, which led him into investigating wandlore (and particularly staff crafting). Eventually he would use the knowledge he accumulated to create his staff Namor – with the help of some old tomes of course. 

This period of his life came to an end when he witnessed the second tragedy of his life – the death of his father. The details can be saved for another time, but in short: coming across an old Gringwart Goff in a cave is not a pleasant experience. Arthur was unable to save his father, nor avenge him, and only managed to escape narrowly himself. It was this event which made him want to become a regulator…

Dialogue colour: [color=Yellowgreen]Yellowgreen[/color]
Patronus: Great Grey Owl
Bogart: Gringwart Goff
Other: Arthur carries around a small locked book in his inside pocket. The pages inside are blank, as entries are absorbed into the book so that any can be recounted on at a whim. Arthur notes that it would be hard to read without knowing what you were looking for. Not only does it contain his and his father’s old research, but he sometimes uses it for case notes, so he guards it with his life.
