[hider=Felix Volpe]
Name: Felix Volpe
Age: 27
House: Ravenclaw
Occupation: Ancient Runes Professor

Time on Staff: 5 Years

Appearance: Felix is relatively short, at a mere 4'11, and has a naturally lithe build. He is a caucasian male of Irish descent, despite an Italian skin tone. Crimson Red hair flares out like he is constantly being shocked by lightning, and amber-brown eyes. His arms are covered in burns from various failed experiments. Despite being a Raven, he prefers shades of green for his clothing, hailing back to his Irish heritage.

History: Felix graduated Hogwarts in the class of '65, and was regarded either as a genius or a lunatic. A true Ravenclaw, he took the theory he learnt from the teachers and books and tested it to its natural limits. Due to this, he was one of a select list of Hogwarts students who had a bed named for them.
After graduation, he went travelling around Europe in order to attain a Mastery in Ancient Runes. When asked he replied; "Where better to learn about the languages than in their home countries?" He also gathered several tomes of obscure knowledge, many of which considered Dark by British standards, in order to learn about the limits other mages have reached. His experimental runic arrays, at least the more stable ones, were enough to attain his mastery in the subject. 
Returning to Britain, bereft of funds and needing a job, he applied for the position of Ancient Runes Teacher. In his free time he began working on his second Mastery, literally choosing Transfiguration by throwing a dart at a bulletin board with pictures of his fellow professors, though it is slow going with constant distractions with his various magical experiments. Also frequent infirmary visits.

Personality: Felix is the Wizarding equivilent of a mad scientist. When left to his own devices, he tends to get overly absorbed in a topic to the extent he forgets about mundane things like eating or personal safety. Fortunately, when given a set schedule he tends to be much more sane... and stays out the infirmary. As a teacher, he is considered decent, preferring practical demonstrations in class to keep his students attention.

Goal/Motivation: To Push the Bounderies of Magical Knowledge
