Character Name: Ged Harris
Blood Line: half
Character Appearance: Ged stands at 5' 10", 130 lbs, and has extremely pale skin which is subject to easy sunburn. He has beautiful brown eyes, though his right eye is partially blind. Ged's made sure to compensate for this handicap by coming to expect attacks on his right eye. He refuses to wear glasses and will outright deny even having this handicap.
His body is slim; having only enough muscle mass to get him by in a scrap. His layered brown hair is kept trimmed just above his eyebrows. Ged is always seen wearing a different suit; usually bought from a Muggle shop to allow him easy access to both the Magic and Muggle worlds.
Ged is usually seen with his familiar, a red-tailed hawk, clinging to his shoulder.
About the Character:
Nationality: British
Spoken Languages: Queen's English. Partial French(he's mediocre when speaking; but can easily translate)
Place of Birth: Ipswitch, England. A very small town.
Position(Job): By day: He works at the Ministry in the Muggle Affairs department.
By night: Death-Eater.
Age/Date of Birth: Age 20. Born on December 6th 1987
Personality:
General Character Traits: Ged is, by far, one of the most difficult employees to get along with in the Ministry. His changing attitudes, his draw to power, and his unpredictable ways make him, if anything, scorned by many. He is obsessed with blood purity and blood lines(he claims to be a Pure-blood), and is making it his work to trace back the family trees of Pure-bloods and find out who is related to who; how those of good blood living now can make children without making an inbreed with someone very closely related and, of course, into how muggle-borns get magic which is a power passed through blood.
He can be nice, when he wants to, but more often she is cold, hating, and very stubborn. A bit spoiled as a child, it shows in the man Ged is becoming...a Wizard who is more than a little sadistic.
However, unlike with most, Ged likes to feel the physical pain as well, perhaps because of how his family taught him as a child.

Large groups
Habits/Mannerisms:
He's a bit of a nail biter. And can be a bit OCD at times when it comes to living spaces.
Personal History:
Ged was brought about when Keith Harris, a member of a dwindling Pure- blood family, and Amy Turner wed in secret in France. The couple gave birth to Ged after only a year of blissful marriage. They lived in secrecy, far away from the scorn of his Pure-blood family and the turmoil between the Death Eaters and the Order.
Three years later, Keith Harris fell ill. He fought valiantly, but in the end subcame to his illness and left his widow to fend for herself and their child. Poor and alone...she moved back to England later that month to stay with her family. Ged, who had never known England, was raised by his mother and her family as a Muggle(her parents were never very supportive of her marriage to the Wizard). This of course, infuriated his Pure-blood relatives who despite their loathing of the Half-blood; desperately needed someone to carry on the Harris name. They fought for nearly a year(which left a lasting impression on the still developing Ged) over his custody. The Harris' soon found themselves winning the battle through a court of law; claiming that Amy was unfit to raise the child(some would argue later that they bewitched the Judge to convince her so).
Ged, who had already been through so much at his young age, began learning to control his still developing magical skills. They taught him everything that they, as a family, believed in. Including: hatred of Muggles and half-breeds, the importance of keeping Wizarding blood pure, and even things as simple as proper wand handling techniques.
When the time came for Ged to enter Hogwarts he was sorted, after a long consideration by the Sorting Hat, into Hufflepuff. Ged could only surmise the reason behind it being that he had been trained so diversely so far in life that he could not excel in any certain area. His time at Hogwarts was uneventful, other than the occasional explosion in the grounds. Every year he attended the school, and every year he returned to his Pure-blood family's home. Over time, Ged had forgot his mother all together and began to think that he was actually a Pure-blooded Wizard.
Scoring exceptionally high on his O.W.L's and N.E.W.T's, Ged was set up with an entry level Ministry Job right after graduation. He graduated Hogwarts without any particular achievements and soon entered the working force.
Within only a few years he climbed the ranks and was soon offered a job in the Muggle Affair's department. Not wanting to turn down the significant pay increase; he took the job. Over time...Ged ceased hating Muggles and simply learned to tolerate their ignorance of his kind(though he kept up the act in front of his family and friends).
Not long after, several members of the Harris family were offered positions as Death Eaters. Ged too was offered a position...and accepted. He choose to do so only because of his family's choice to join.
Ged now lives a double life. A Muggle Affairs representative by day...Death Eater by night...

RP response:
He was asleep at his desk again. It was the cost of the life he chose to live. He was out hunting Order members in vain all night. Sometimes he didn't see the point of their sweeps. The Order was just as powerful as ever; though he had yet to encounter an actual member. His wand tapped nervously on his desk in an attempt to keep himself awake.
Beneath his suit his tattoo burned as it moved. Voldemort was sending them a message...
He couldn't go yet. It was the middle of the work day and he was already taking enough of a beating from his superiors for all of his strange absences. Ged rolled his brown eyes as he ran a hand through his hair. He'd catch hell for it later...but it was impossible to meet at the moment.
He sighed heavily and leaned back in his chair. "What have a gotten myself into?"
