He is of average build, and weighs 100 pounds. •Backstory: Gaius comes from the house of Britannia, a family of purebloods who, for generations have moved in the dark corners of the wizarding world. Much like Lucius Malfoy, Gaius' father Magnus attained a position of respect (and sometimes fear), through his dealings with numerous public officials at the Ministry of Magic (some dealings more legal than others). Magnus often knew intricate secrets about those who were on the rise to fame in the world, and he used that knowledge to attain whatever he desired. The Britannia family is very well off, but nowhere as rich as the other high families in the books. In the last wizard war, Magnus was believed to be a Death Eater who sided with Voldemort, but without any definitive proof he was not sent to Azkaban. Gaius' mother, Marianne, was killed when Gaius was only 9 years old. While the specific circumstances of her death are not known to Gaius, as he was away with relatives at the time, the consensus was that she was killed in a magical accident while trying to perfect a rare spell, which backfired. Gaius mourned the loss of his mother, as he was always on better terms with her than his father. Gaius has always viewed his father as dark and mysterious, and openly believes that his father was a Death Eater despite his father's denials. Gaius hopes that he is sorted into Slytherin, something which the majority of his family line shared. Gaius has an interest in Quiddich, and hopes to obtian a position as a chaser or seeker •Personality: Gaius was a generally kind child growing up, until the death of his mother.
