"Do what is right. Not what is easy." - Personal History Expanded:
- Early Years:
- Hogwart Years:
Text Cut: (2070 - 2074) - During his first year at Hogwarts, Sabel struggled to find his place in the new wizarding world. Having grown up in a purely muggle environment, his tendencies remained towards the muggle way of doing things, and he struggled to pick up magic as a second nature concept
- With the recent passing of his sister, Sabel opted to delve completely into a new life and (for what he later regretted as one of his worst decisions) he withheld telling his friends about his sister, or his family life. Despite this, he was able to solidify friendships that would last a lifetime.
- Close to the end of his first year, trouble came to Hogwarts in the form of Sam Huxley. By a stroke of luck, and grace of being allergic to butterscotch of all things, Sabel avoided being drawn into the underground fight-club comprised of Hogwarts students. Instead, he ended up on the other side of the hexed students, fighting to defend the castle against his friends and Huxley.
- It was this experience that fueled the protective fire of his personality, and thanks to the influence of Headmaster Gallen Tate, gained a great interest in the career pathway of an Auror, and and later as an ITF agent.
- His second year at Hogwarts passed with few hitches, only to be followed up by his third year, in which he hit a rocky road. His mother, having fallen seriously ill to the same disease which claimed the life of his sister, passed away during the Christmas of his sixth year. It was only upon his father's insistence that he returned to Hogwarts and struggled through the remained of the year.
- Trying to clear his head, and deal with the reoccurring losses, Sabel returned to Canada for the summer, working in the solitude of an outdoor wilderness camp as a Camp Coordinator.
- Despite his summer of isolation, Sabel came back to another year that proved to be an emotional and mental roller-coaster. While struggling with the decision between leaving Britain to join the ITF or remain to join the Aurors, Sabel entered a relationship with his best friend, Arya Lovegoods.
- Political intrigue and mystery began to develop around the Ministry of Magic, with the presence of a group known as 'the Cult' becoming more prominent. Alongside this, threats to the traditional government overseeing Hogwarts came into light. Unable to find a peaceful state of mind in leaving, and ever focused on the safety of his friends still within the school walls, Sabel relinquished his hopes of joining the ITF and applied to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for placement in the Auror office in order to remain close at hand should the gnawing suspicions in the back of his mind become realized. He would not however, if asked, deny his excitement for being granted the opportunity to learn and grow from those that valued the protection of others as he did.
- MLE Years:
Text Cut: (2074 - 2086) - Sabel joined the YATI initiative right out of Hogwarts, and for three years was mentored under Damien, Jaxton, Evandor, Wesley and Izzy. With one suspension and a handful of challenges, Sabel slowly began to understand the depth and breadth of the career he had chosen.
- A YATI trainee at the time of the Cult's infiltration into the Ministry, Sabel was involved in assisting the senior Auror's in the effort to bring down the organization
- Sabel proposed to Arya Lovegoods, his Hogwarts-sweetheart, during his tenure as a YATI student
- After the Cult, Sabel spent a year working in London as a graduated Auror. Shortly after, he departed from London for seven years working on various, classified, undercover assignments for the MLE
- Sabel returned to the MLE in London shortly before the new election of Minister Sherman Clark, and the appointment of Department Head Elliot Rainey to the MLE, in 2085.
- After a 'honorary' mention in the Daily Prophet as being aligned with the Cult, and various circumstances in his personal life, Sabel re-evaluated his standing with the MLE and his future as an Auror. In 2086 he resigned from the Ministry, accepting a job offer to be the new DADA Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
- DADA Professor Years:
Text Cut: First Year (2086 - 2087) - Approached by Headmistress Anastasia Truebridge shortly after a Daily Prophet article was published with falsities about his involvement with the Cult, Sabel resigned from the MLE as an Auror, and accepted an offer of employment as the DADA Professor at Hogwarts
- During his first year as Professor of DADA, he held a lesson on patronuses and a joint lesson with potions and astronomy on werewolves, full moons and wolfsbane
- While Sabel thought that joining the staff at Hogwarts might help distance him from the shadows of the Auror life, the Daily Prophet was relentless in trying to stir up trouble. When Cult items were planted in his office, as well as the office of the Headmistress, they joined forces with the Auror to try and gain insight into who was behind the plant. An office visit with the Head YATIL and Daily Prophet Writer Skeeter, Sabel came to a daunting realization.
- The rest of the year passed without incident, until the acromantula attack on Hogwarts. With fellow students and Professors, Sabel helped hold the lines and embark on a search and rescue mission for the taken students and Headmistress.
- At the end of the year, with the acromantulas pushed back into the forest and the term winding down, life seemed to be settling.
