Name: Brett Carlen
Age: 29
Blood status: Muggle-born
Wand: 9 ½ inch, ash, dragon heartstring
Prized Possession: motorcycle
Marital Status: Single, but always looking

Appearance: Brett stands at 6’1” with dirty blonde shoulder length hair and dark blue eyes. Two strategically placed tattoos, one on his right upper arm and the other behind his neck, signify two different times of his time. He doesn’t show them off in public view most of the time, but you may get a glimpse or two if you’re lucky. Having a lean build, Brett is usually found wearing loose jeans, shirt, and leather jacket.

History: Born in Maryland, Brett moved to his current location of London, England approximately three years ago. He had traveled other places during his life, but never managed to stay in one place since he discovered that he was a wizard. He attended Spellman Academy in Massachusetts before traveling to Egypt after his studies were finished. Here, he spent time on an archaeological dig, either helping the main partners with digging or taking on other tasks which required a 'persuasive' figure who possessed certain methods to get the job done. In his earlier life, he was the rebellious kid, refusing to listen to anyone, and doing things his own way to survive. Once he reached age 25, he settled down, though the hard times of his past stay with him. It’s one of the reasons he won’t change his appearance, for it's like a string that holds him to his past, showing him the mistakes he made, and ensuring that he doesn’t repeat history.

Personality: Brett is generally a friendly person, especially with the ladies. However, he tends to retreat behind the ‘bad boy’ image if he feels threatened in some way, even if it’s by a disapproving look at his general appearance. In general, however, Brett has a laissez-faire attitude about life. His philosophy is - Life goes on without a pause, so either you go with the flow or get trampled. When you finally break his hard exterior, you’ll see that Brett can be easy to get along with. However, his temper can get the best of him at times, especially when disrespect is shown in any form towards himself or others that he holds a relationship with.

Friends: Brett doesn’t have many true friends, but he does particularly enjoy the company of one Artemis Chosen.

Flourish & Blotts History: Desperately needing a job when he moved to London, but not wanting to settle for just anything, Brett came across an ad placed for an assistant for the bookstore. Figuring that the atmosphere may help him in the many issues that he had a hold on, Brett applied for the job and was accepted. He eventually took over the shopkeeper position when the shop's previous owner, Amelia, left for personal reasons disclosed to only a select few. Working with the public for the past few years has shown Brett that a number of very colorful characters are out and about, and he has gained the knowledge that his job will never, ever be boring.
