Personality: Dorian is highly intelligent, and yet he has always tended to channel that into more practical routes, as opposed to simply having book smarts. Bravery is an important trait to him. He has a somewhat dry sense of humor, and appreciates irony in things. He is also friendly, and manages to control his temper quite well (although it is vicious if triggered). However, things from his past have colored his perspective a lot, and make him often come across as a little aloof, almost standoffish. But once he gets to know a person, he lets his guard down.

History: Dorian was born into, if not a wealthy pureblood family in Edinburgh, at least an upper-middle-class family. As was expected of him, he showed an aptitude for magic at a very young age, and his parents made sure he was trained from the very moment he showed magical abilities. Even with this, he had a fairly normal Wizarding childhood, making friends easily and having fun. And when he got his letter to Hogwarts at eleven years old, he was excited to go, knowing his best friend, Gabriel Ellsworth, was coming with him. The two boys were practically inseparable, and the fact Dorian was sorted into Gryffindor and Gabriel into Slytherin affected that not one bit.

However, as they got older their paths seemed to split a little, when Gabriel developed a desire for power that almost rivaled the long-ago Tom Riddle and Dorian showed little interest in helping his best friend achieve that. Instead, he started developing friendships with new people, including a Hufflepuff named Gwendolyn Harris. The two of them ended up falling for each other, and as they graduated Dorian proposed. However, Gabriel hadn’t finished with his former best friend and one night contacted him to ask for help with a spell. Dorian knew he had always been better at spells, so he agreed, if only to try and keep Gabriel safe. But things went wrong, and Gabriel went a little crazy and blamed Dorian for the whole thing. And then he kidnapped Gwendolyn, starting off a series of events that spanned years.

Continually being blackmailed by his former best friend, Dorian knew he must be stopped, even as he had sympathy for his loss of sanity. However, he wouldn’t cave and help Gabriel get the power he still wanted, and continued trying to rescue his love from him. Traveling across Europe on this mission, he always felt a step behind and after five years, Gabriel murdered Dorian’s fiancée as a last ditch effort to try and convince Dorian he wasn’t playing and get him to do what he wanted. Instead, it only spurred Dorian on more to stop him, and he finally caught up in Italy. Gabriel instigated a duel, which ended when Dorian finally defeated him. He didn’t kill his ex-best friend, but he managed to disarm him long enough that he could contact the nearest Wizarding law enforcement and Gabriel was locked away for life.

However, after that Dorian felt at a loss, not only not knowing what to do with his life now that he’d managed to lock his crazy former best friend away but he’d also lost his love. He knew she would have wanted him to go on with life, though, and he proceeded to return to England to attempt that very thing. He couldn’t get past wanting to stop things like what had happened to him from happening to others, the need to protect people, still, so shortly after he got back he applied to work for the British Ministry and got hired. Now he just has to try and put his life back together, while still accomplishing his personal goals.
