Belden, Ethan

Ministry of Magic Obliviator
Past SS MoM Character

Full name: Ethan Frederick Belden
Age: 33
DOB: April 1st, 2040
POB: Cornwall, England
Wand: Birch, dragon heartstring, eleven and one-quarter inches long. Rather sturdy.
Former house: Slytherin

Hair colour: Slightly wavy, brown hair, that he carefully arranges into a casual disarray every single morning.
Eye colour: Honey coloured eyes, that tend to twinkle when in a good mood--which is almost all the time.
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 187 lbs
Build: Slender and lean

Personality: He's got a likable personality, though he knows too much and is quite smug about his level of knowledge. Good liar, and smooth talker around women, Ethan is the type that never has any kind of trouble with the females, even though he's not particularly fond of commitment--more like opposite, actually, which explains why he remains single.

Introspective and curious, he doesn't try to be anything, and his jokes just happen to be funny even when he's not trying. He's the classic underdog with good manners, a die-hard romantic, and more of a lover than a fighter. Though he would never admit it, Belden has a sensitive and sympathetic side. Usually he just walks around, assumes everything, and scares you with how much he tunes into your personality and feelings.

Ethan is an analytical being, and a best choice to come to when you want to solve a problem. But, don't think he does everything for free; once he made you a favour, he's not bound to forget about it. If you get on his bad side, he will not spare your feelings, and is brutally honest about everything.

Often, he surprises people with being totally unpredictable. He likes his sleep and can be ocassionally lazy during the day.

Background: His parents were about the two biggest opposites that there had ever lived, so the young couple bliss lasted until Ethan was four years old. The opposites that once attracted, repelled each other and Elladora (Witch) and Charles (Muggle) split messily a few months after Ethan's fifth birthday. His mom tied their lives (Ethan's and hers) together as best as she could, got a fair job at muggle internet company, and never remarried.

Belden spent a life of getting shuffled to and from his grandparents, who were both great intellects and had high hopes for his mother. When she chose the road of motherhood, their expectations gravitated to Ethan, and a day didn't go by that he wasn't taught something. Belden developed a close relationship with his grandfather, who was a soothing from his over-eager grandmother. Between the two, he had had a happy childhood.

He was sorted into Slytherin, surprisingly enough instead of Ravenclaw, where most of his family (from his mother's side) attended. Ethan's best guess was that he wasn't particularly apt at magic, though he knew the text right and left. He wasn't a courageous enough Gryffindor, but he was guile enough to do anything to obtain what he wanted--which is exactly why Slytherin suited him perfectly.

After finishing his Hogwarts education with fairly good marks (8 OWLs, 6 NEWTs), Ethan joined the three year long Auror training at the Australian Ministry of Magic. Once done with the training, Belden joined the Ministry of that country and would have stayed there for good, had it not been for a little incident he had during a mission, with fellow Auror (and Ethan's frenemy), Amber Thatcher.

Ethan is currently working at the British Ministry of Magic in the Accidents & Catastrophes department, as an obliviator.
