"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"



GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Jonathan has a lovely set of golden blonde hair, It usualy curly and has small ringlets mixed within the curls. When wet it flattens and you are ablle to see the different tones in his hair including some mixtures of browns. But it won't be long until his hair is curly again, It annoys him sometimes because he prefers his hair when its flat and it's a very old fashioned hairstyle but Jonathan is a rather old fashioned man and isn't about to change who he is just to keep up with the latest fashion trends.

Upon meetin Jonathan, you could probably feel a bit scared. A curse caused him to nearly go blind. But thankfully one was saved. But it remains slightly cloudy from the spell. His other eye is jet black, only a sharpspeck of white reamins. This causes most people to steer clear of him, they see it as some evil omen, and Jonathan is often alone because of it. It isn't just his eyes which cause most people to stay clear of him, years under constant stress and a general tough life have given him a rather rough appearance to his face and although it can look quite youthful and child like there is something in his face which screams power and danger.

Jonathan stands at around 5' 9" so he is just below the average man. Although a few of his friends are taller then him, his height doesn't bother him all that much. Height has nothing to do with defending yourself. It used to bother him when he was at school, but he's learnt the hard way that it doesn't matter what height you are when it comes to defending yourself or fighting with a dark wizard.

MOST LIKED FEATURE: He would probably say his hair but Jonathan doesn't really like that much about himself
MOST HATED FEATURE: His eyes
HERITAGE: English
ETHNICITY: Caucasian


"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."



GENERAL PERSONALITY:

There has always been something different about Jonathan, and no one can actually pinpoint what it is. He just is different. Jonathan views the world differently to what others see it border lining on sociopathic qualities. He is often telling people "There is more to the world then what you can see through your eyes". And he should know that better then anyone. He tries to view the world like criminals would, and because of that, he was very successful at catching them. There is almost something sinister about him, he doesn't really believe people can change, but he is willing to give them a chance.

He isn't to be mistaken as someone who is gentle; his years catching dark wizards have turned him into a hard and tough person and he has a deep anger within him which he is often worried could be used to make him the very thing he fights against. But though most people can't see it, there is a soft and gentle side to Jonathan. And after leaving the Auror buisness, he decided to go into teaching. He believes that children hold a lot of potential, and when around them. His cruel, sinister and cold side seems to be pushed aside. And a warmer and gentle side is shown. Although he knows everyone has potential to be evil, he'd rather not judge the students he teaches. Instead he does whatever he can to show them how wrong the Dark Arts are.

Above all things, Jonathan is clever, he has a very sharp mind, which can come in handy. He sees how things work and can solve problems very well. This is mainly because of the excellent education he received and he is able to see how things work. His social ineptness has made him able to freely analyse 'humans' and is thus able to pick up on certain actions a person might do if feeling guilty. His intellect is a combination of many things; his excellent education he received, his experiences in life and that fact that he's able to put himself in the mind of a killer and has a knack for solving puzzles. If he were ever to take and IQ test it would be roughly in the ranges of 119 to 124.

Although generally brave, since loosing the sight in his eye and almost loosing the other one. He has become a lot more cautious. Although he won't run away if he needs to fight, he now finds he can get quite scared. He feels a lot of anger towards the wizard who cursed him; but also a lot of fear. And although he wants to get revenge for what the wizard did, he is too afraid to confront him. His eyes used to be one of his best features, and he's afraid of what else might happen if they ever meet again.

Jonathan is very closed off, he is reluctant to share things about himself. Especially the reason why his eyes are like the way they are. He doesn't like sharing and doesn't really want to open his hear out to anyone. If anyone persists in questioning him about it, Jonathan can and most likely will show his crueler side and tell them that it's none of their concern. He is somewhat shy and lacks a bit of self esteem.

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."



GENERAL HISTORY:

Jonathan was born the youngest child to Martin and Julie. He had a sister who was four years older then him; Chrissie. Growing up, Jonathan was like any other boy. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, and everyone was always complimenting them. Jonathan often remarked on the fact that girls seemed to like his eyes, and he enjoyed the attention that he got. But he wasn't big headed about it, he decided that unlike some of his friends who took advantage of what they got, he was going to use his eyes in different ways. Like reading.

So from the age of 10, Jonathan began to read quite a lot, he soon developed quite an imagination and would often be writing his own stories for his own amusment. He then moved on to puzzles, and he would sit with his mother and they would go through crosswords and other puzzles together. His sister often got jealous of the time the two spent together, but it wasn't long before Jonathan was off on his own.

By the time he was accepted into Hogwarts, Jonathan began to spend a lot of time by himself. He enjoyed practising spells. And although loads of girls asked him out, he would rather work on challenges then go out with them. But from time to time he would accept, leaving a lot of other girls to be quite upset that he hadn't chosen them. But even with his girlfriends, Jonathan didn't do much with them. He didn't really see the point. And slowly but surely, people started to tease him for being frigid and a freak.

But Jonathan didn't care, he thought it cruel to sleep with a girl, he respected them and didn't understand why his friends had one night stands. He saw it as demeaning and cruel. Woman were people, they shouldn't be treated like objects. So slowly but surely, Jonathan began to seperate from his friends, he couldn't stand by and continue to watch them doing what they did.

Sadly, in Jonathan's final year diaster struck. His sister who had been working for the ministry was killed. Although the two had never really been close, Jonathan was deeply effected. He had planned to join the same department as her, in hope to grow closer to her. But that dream was soon destroyed. It was then that Jonathan decided to become an Auror and find his sister's killer.

Jonathan passed all of his exams with flying colours, and by the time he was twenty years old he had completed his Auror training. No sooner had he gotten his desk, Jonathan dug up the old file on his sister's murder. A whole new but familiar world was opened up to him. He saw it as one giant puzzle; a challenge for him to complete. He was given other cases and wizards to find, and of course Jonathan completed any job he was given. But his biggest ambition was still to find his sister's killer.

A year later, the killer was found. Jonathan had finally solved his puzzle and was standing face to face with the man who had destroyed his dreams. The two fought and eventually, Jonathan won. But at a price, he had killed the wizard. His bosses weren't pleased, but after a few months Jonathan was allowed to continue working. They understood the fight had gotten out of control, and knew that things like that sometimes happened.

His revenge satisfied, Jonathan contiued to help catch out of hand wizards and wizards turning bad. In his tenth year of being an Auror, he was seen as one of the best. He had a sharp mind and was able to analyse situations extreemly well. Some of his co workers felt worried around him, especially when Jonathan's mean streak showed. But he was a kind person at heart, and Jonathan enjoyed finally having friends who weren't animals like his old ones. And even though everyone always said he wasn't like ordinary people, they still respected him.

On one of his jobs, Jonathan with a team of others came across a really bad egg. It was a dark wizard they'd been after for a few years. Everyone was scared; even Jonathan. But he knew that if he held back, he'd end up injured. Or worse; dead. The team of Aurors fought, and a lot of people got injured. Jonathan knew the best thing to do was to retreat, but he also felt a duty to his job and to locking this wizard away. But he made the wrong decision and a curse was thrown at him.

A few weeks later, Jonathan woke up in St. Mungos; unable to see properly. At first he was terrified and he became quite distresssed. But one of the healers explained what had happened. The curse had hit him in the eyes, it had competly destroyed the eyes. Thankfully one had been saved, but it was still damaged. Looking at his appearance in a mirror; Jonathan was shocked. His once beautiful blue eyes were gone. His right eye was black and empty, and his left was seemingly normal, but had a slight greyness to it. Although Jonathan had always said looks weren't everything, the fact that his eyes had been destroyed hurt him.

But Jonathan was determined to carry on with his job, his boss was reluctant to give him work, but Jonathan insisited that he was fine. He had learnt to see what he could out of his left eye, and he found that at certain angles he could see out of his right eye. But only slightly. But he also trained himself to use his ears in a more precise way. And after a lot of persuasion, his boss agreed. But there was one condition, Jonathan would always have to have a partner with him. And although Jonathan was annoyed by this; he agreed.

It was very hard for Jonathan, especially when out chasing after dark wizards. And it was made harder by the fact that some of his co workers were afraid of him. They often muttered and whispered about how his eyes creepeed them out. And after a long and hard year, Jonathan decided to leave the ministry and become a teacher. It was a great loss on both parts. But Jonathan agreed to help out if they ever needed him. He then applied to Hogwarts and became partnered as the DADA teacher with Lilly Potter; allowing him the freedom to also work with the ministry whenever they needed him. He and Lilly often argue over teaching methods but they make a surprisingly good team.
