He can come across as cynical, and odly detached from the society he helps to protect, and in many ways, these are simply the truth of the matter, he finds the Wizarding world a flawed place, but he would still ultimately give his life to protect it, and its people. He leads instinctively, never voluntarily taking the back seat and has a keen ability to assign others in such a way to best bring out their own, even if he can personally be somewhat abrasive. In a non-work setting, her can be far more light-hearted and charming, but he is never one to fully dive in to sunshine and rainbows. Hidden beneath this all, is a burning ambition, to continually prove himself, and to disprove his critics. Bio: Izaiah was raised by a single-mother, knowing little of his lineage save from a name that made him stand out, within the poorer communities of the home counties, Izaiah was a name far gone its time. It was only as he grew older that matters became stranger for the boy, his mother always alluded to a father rather caught up in strange matters far away, but gave the Izaiah few details. These secrets played on his mind as a young boy, especially when his mother eventually married his now-step-father and had another child, a younger brother, Peter. While Izaiah, even as a young child, may have had a tense relationship with his step-father, this was not so with his brother, whom he was immediately highly protective of. It was this trait that would eventually reveal the truth of his lineage. Shortly after his tenth birthday, Izaiah and his brother were playing in a local park, when several older children attempted to forcefully remove Peter from the swings. In a flash of anger, Izaiah punched one of their 'assailants.' Once the other tried to round on him, they immediately found themselves cast to the ground. It was the first manifestation of Izaiah's magic. After her told his mother of the incident, she fully explained the situation to their immediate family. Izaiah's father had been a wizard, who had left both mother and newborn son due to a growing conflict in the secretive wizarding world. This was confirmed beyond all doubt, when upon his eleventh birthday, Izaiah received his invitation to Hogwarts. In a post-wizarding war age, the situation in Slytherin was strange and complex, especially for a half-blood with little prior knowledge of the world he now inhabited, and the trappings that came along with it. Finding himself the heir to a reasonably large, if not astounding, Gringotts account, he was able to make the most of these new experiences. While the House he was sorted in to was no longer as 'exclusive' as it had once been, as the half-blooded abandoned child of a wizard, Izaiah certainly felt an added strain from some of his peers. This is not to say he was entirely isolated, as time went on and he adapted to the world of Hogwarts, he became a high-achieving academic student and a worthy Quidditch player, making the Slytherin team as a beater in his third year. This placed him fairly firmly in the 'alpha' friendship circle of Slytherin at the time, despite never really actively persuing popularity. While his friends largely persued Qudditch above their studies, Izaiah became increasingly focused on his defence against the dark arts classes, connecting it with the disappearance of his father, at the start of what he now knew was the Second Wizarding War. In these latter years of Hogwarts, his academics continued to improve, eventually smashing the NEWTS and earning himself a place on the Auror training program. That said, it wasn't all hard work and no fun, Slytherin won the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup in his final year, and the leaving party was of a scale that still scars many a Hogsmead establishment. As an Auror-in-training, his quiet charisma and powerful work ethic was honed by those training him, pushing him ever harder to achieve. By the time he graduated, a second time, as a full-Auror, Izaiah was well know, by both staff and fellow trainees, as a exemplary case of the training system.
