Background
- Raul Cybin was raised in the clustered city of Manchester, England in what appeared, from the outside, to be a tiny flat, but was in fact a considerably large apartment on the inside - for Raul was a wizard of pure blood, his family tree consisting entirely of wizards and witches for several generations - his parents were very proud of this fact, and made it very clear that Raul should be a great wizard to continue the family name. Due to his sharp mind and his wise outlook, he was sorted in to Ravenclaw house when he arrived at Hogwarts when he was eleven years old. He was a model student, got on with his work and never caused any trouble. He coasted through, and many believed he would have a bright future, and it seemed he would, for he became an Auror after leaving the school.
Then an issue came up: he fell in love with a muggle. He did not tell his parents for some time, and had proposed and conceived a child with her before he did so. When he did tell his parents, they were extremely furious, especially his father, who physically lashed out at Raul. Raul, despite being hurt, moved on, choosing his new wife and son, whom he named Raul, Jr., over his parents wishes. However, his father could not take it and burst in to his family home late one night, demanding that Raul left his wife. Raul's wife heard the commotion, and came down - then Raul's father did it, he shot her with curse that sent her slamming in to a wall and, ultimately yet undirectly, killing her. Raul's father was locked up for the rest of his life, though it did not make the loss any easier. He was a single father.
Raul Jr. was raised with much more care than his father, though he had a similar amount of success through school and after, becoming an Auror like his father once was. They served together in the Wizarding war against Voldemort's death eaters. In one fateful battle, they were ambushed and both injured terribly. The difference was, Raul survived, his son did not - and died in his arms.
With his son dead and his life in tatters, Raul resigned from his place as an Auror and became a teacher at Hogwarts, initially teaching History of Magic before moving on to Defence Against the Dark Arts, a job he kept for around a decade, slowly falling back in to a normal pattern of life as he did so. He then succeeded Minerva McGonagall as head of Hogwarts, a role that he was happy to take as he had always sought out a more reserved role, Ludwig Develyn taking his place as teacher for Defence Against the Dark Arts. He has now been in the position for over two years.
Personal Information
Personality
- Professor Cybin is a very introverted man, which is odd considering how easy he finds it to speak out in front of others. Whilst he is a very confident and controlling man, who, by no means, is afraid to take hold, he is known to be quite reclusive, spending little time outside of his office when he is not required by his colleagues. He rarely attends public events, taking little interest in things such as quidditch. Many students find him quite intimidating and struggle to find the courage to bring issues to him if they have them, though that is because they do not know him. In truth, Cybin is a very down-to-earth, calm and kind man. He is rarely rattled and always takes his time to work through things. Cybin is seen by most as an elusive and mysterious man by pupils as few know him on a casual-chatting basis. Cybin takes his work very seriously and gets through it as properly as possible - he is never caught slacking, and makes sure everything is on point, regimental with his punishment, but fair in his treatment of pupils, hence why he is a perfect fit for the job in many people's eyes.
