Defining Feature(s): --

Sam has naturally blonde hair that he keeps in the same style almost all the time. His casual style of clothing consists of a worn out pair of blue jeans, an orange polo shirt, and a pair of sneakers. At work though, he will usually be seen wearing khaki pants, a button down shirt, and the same ole sneakers you would see him wearing out and about in town... yeah, he's not THAT fashionable during the weekdays! Or at all. Being 5 ft 11, it doesn't make him the tallest of his family but he sure is the most handsome one!

{Personality}

After holding two very important positions at the Ministry of Magic, Sam has turned into quite a workaholic. He enjoys going to work everyday because it isn't all about paperwork and meetings to him; it's about meeting new people, having fun WHILE you work, and the surprises that await you each day you walk into your office. If Sam isn't working, he can usually be found hanging out with his fat cat, Mr. Pumpkin Jr. (son of deceased older cat, Mr. Pumpkin) in his apartment where he watches TV and eats junk food. Once a week, he tries to make an appearance in Diagon Alley to see his friends if his schedule allows it.

If any acquaintances remember something about Samuel McDean, it would be his passion for Shakespeare. He will talk none stop about everything Shakespeare if someone would listen to him and shockingly!!! he has a huge passion for Broadway shows which opened the door to his admiration for Shakespeare. This man has all of Shakespeare's plays in one bookshelf and reads one of them at least once a month. Also, Sam use to own a Shakespeare action figure (quill and all!) until someone *COUGH*LimaDarcy*COUGH* had stolen it from him and they did return it; however, they returned it... piece by piece.

{Background}

Sam’s father died in November 2055 because of some horrible health issues. It wasn’t until Samuel was eleven years old that he fully understood his father wasn’t coming back, which brought a lot of grief on the young boy. In fact, he was in so much grief that he strayed away from his family. He never came home from winter breaks, and he would usually stay somewhere else during summer vacations to avoid seeing his family. All this avoidance caused the rest of the McDean boys to slowly turn away from their older brother because they were grieving their father's death, and "their older brother was suppose to be there for them during this time". Most of his brothers even began to start a sibling rivalry with him since he was never there.

Samuel and his stepdad, Fredrick Andrews, never got along after the boy turned eleven years old. His stepdad always went on about how Sam never has a stable relationship with a girl, and his famous quote that Samuel heard repeatedly since he’s been thirteen was: "You will die a lonely man if you keep this up." Even though Fredrick wished the quote would effect the boy somehow, it never did. He still continued to date girls for no longer than a two month period.

There is also this rumor going around the family that Sam is not getting any money from Fredrick’s will once the man dies. If it's true or not, no one really knows for sure. Why was Frederick like this with Sam? If you ask his mother, it's because Frederick wanted Sam to like him, but Sam thought Frederick was trying to replace his father and never wanted to think anything differently.

After graduating in 2064, Sam moved into a little flat exactly twenty miles away from his family. He picked up a job at the Ministry in the Magical Accidents and Catastrophes Department in the Invisibility Task Force Division. He worked there for two straight years.

In 2066, Sam quit the Ministry and moved to New York, New York due to the fact that he wanted to try to go into the acting business since he always enjoyed acting ever since his Aunt took him to muggle plays every summer until he turned thirteen. There was also some part of him that wanted to move further away from his family because he wanted to get AWAY from the sibling rivalry that had been going on for years.

Sadly, Sam failed miserably at acting. He ended up having to go to an acting coach, who took two years to try to teach him the “right” way of acting. Even though he took two years of coaching, he still couldn’t act worth a flip. So, instead of working on stage, he decided to work behind the stage working with the lights and props. He did that for two years. Believe it or not, he began to LOVE Shakespeare after working with drama folks. Not that he helped in any Shakespeare plays, but he began to make friends with people who adored the play writer.

After the two years passed, Samuel got a call from one of his friends back in London, and he learned that the MoM's Accidents and Catastrophes Department had a Division Head opening. His friend suggested he should take it. After a few hours of debating, he finally sent in his application and began to move back to London. It took a few days for him to find a nice flat to live in and once he got settled in, he received a notification that his application had been accepted.

He worked as a Division Head in the Ministry for a while, and then the position for a Law Enforcement Department Head arose. Sam decided he wanted to take a bigger step into being a leader. He also kind of wanted to get away from Dan, who was a Division Head for Accidents and Catastrophes at the time. Plus, Law Enforcement was what Sam wanted to do when he was in Hogwarts, but he ended up working for Accidents and Catastrophes (obviously!) He applied for the position as Department Head, and he got it! Sam spent a few months working as Department Head before he decided to turn in his position and move to America where he began work at the American Ministry. The reason behind this is unknown to a lot of people, but one reason could be that he just wanted to get out of London and try other things.

While in America for the second time, Sam met a nice girl named Emma Cobblesten. They had a relationship that lasted for three years (2074 - 2077). Mind you, that was the LONGEST relationship Samuel McDean had ever been involved in. Sam and Emma welcomed a baby girl, Juliette Renée, on July 9, 2075. The couple decided to break up in 2077 because they were slowly starting to grow apart.

He worked at the American Ministry for two years as a Law Enforcement Investigator, then he applied for a Law Enforcement Department Head position when it opened. He received the promotion and worked at the Law Enforcement Department Head up until he decided to step down in 2083 so that he would have more time with his family. He continued to work in Law Enforcement but as the Personal Assistant to the new Law Enforcement Department Head. He work as a Personal Assistant until 2089 when he decided to pack up all his belongings and move back to London with his daughter, Juliette.

He currently lives in an apartment (just like old times!) while his daughter gets to experience life at Hogwarts since she had been homeschooled for fourteen years.
