DESCRIPTION:
Markus weighs in at a muscular and fit 175 pounds. He stands approximately 6’-2” tall, has blueish grey eyes, and brown hair which he keeps fairly short, not that it does anything to tame the wildness about it. Bed head is often a term his wife lays on him and aptly describes its constant state. He also sports a well kept goatee which grows in a course reddish brown. Markus tends to wear jeans and button downs when not working, though he takes great pride in his appearance when on the job, his uniform is always neat and orderly unless he’s been out in the field. He has a few scrapes and scratches from his childhood days and from training and field work with the Imperium Guard, though nothing is very noteworthy.

TRAITS: Markus, as described by anyone who knows him reasonably well, will tell you that he is fairly friendly, a model family man and an exceptional employee, something the Wolfram’s have become well known for. Their friendly yet serious natures combined with a good work ethic have gained them many friends both inside and outside of the Ministry. Markus tends to give off an air of authority and has gained the respect of friends and colleagues alike. People, for whatever reason seem to listen to him and as such he has found it remarkably easy to climb the ladder at the ministry, eventually attaining the rank of Captain. He has a ‘get it done now’ mentality making him a key asset in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement especially when it comes to detecting document forgeries.

At home Markus is nothing short of a family man, doting on the love of his life and their two boys. When he’s not busy helping the Order, he can be seen out in the wizarding world with his small family in tow, visiting the various shops, chatting with friends, attending Ministry functions and in general, keeping up appearances.

HISTORY:
Markus von Wolfram was born in Kiel, Germany to Christof and Johanna von Wolfram. His childhood was nothing remarkable. He was a cheerful, outgoing, inquisitive kid who enjoyed everything life seemed to throw at him. His parents, only wanting the best for their son, were sure to instill proper manners and behaviors into their rambunctious bundle of joy. Respect was not given freely, it was earned; something everyone in the von Wolfram family believed in. Two years after his birth saw the birth of his younger brother. The two brothers were inseparable as they grew older, doing everything together. It was safe to say if one of the von Wolfram brothers was around the other was not far away.

His school years were nothing to terribly special. Markus spent his first three years of schooling at Durmstrang, making fast friends with his housemates. As far as classes went, Markus was quickly living up to his family’s reputation for having a knack for Charms and Ancient Runes. It probably also helped that his work ethic was second to none. It wasn’t until toward the end of his second year that his father was transferred to the British Ministry of Magic in order to take a job as an Unspeakable. While his family was busy preparing for the move to London, Markus finished out his second year. The rest of his schooling took place at Hogwarts. There he was sorted into Slytherin along with his younger brother, Lukas. Both of the brothers quickly made friends with most of the occupants of their house and both excelled in their studies.

Markus graduated at the age of 17 with top marks in his classes. As with the seeming trend in his family, he signed up to work in the Ministry as an Auror. It was during his training that he met his future wife, Kerstin Kohler. The pair hit it off instantly and have been inseparable ever since. Toward the end of his training, during a simple exercise, it was discovered the former Slytherin had a talent for detecting and recreating forged paperwork. He quickly found himself transferred to the department of Magical Law Enforcement – Documentation division. There he received special training to hone his skills in documentation forgeries and quickly climbed the ranks within the department.

By the time he was 18, he found himself married to the love of his life and only a year later, the happy couple was celebrating the birth of their first son, Christof and Markus couldn’t have been happier. Two years later saw the birth of his second son Erik. The years passed by quickly and before the young family knew it; their oldest was 11 and starting his first year at Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw. Little did everyone know that Christof’s first year was going to be anything but normal.

The attacks on Hogwarts and the Ministry that followed in December left the small family quite shaken. Fortunately both parents were off at the time and when news of the attacks hit they immediately went to Hogwarts hoping their son was safe. He was thankfully… After much debate and a fight or two it was decided that Christof would finish off the year in Damien Noland’s interim school, before returning to a New Hogwarts the following year. With rumors floating around that the Death Eaters could be back and muggleborns disappearing at an alarming rate, Markus found himself swamped at work, having been called out to do field work and get to the bottom of things.

It wasn’t long before things began spiraling out of control. Aurors were replaced with the Imperium Guard. Muggleborns and those who spoke out against the new government were being enslaved. Riots were breaking out all across London. In order to keep his family safe, he knew he had to play along. To anyone outside of his immediate family, he was all for the regime and everything it stood for. In reality Markus was appalled by it. The idea of slavery was just barbaric! It didn’t take long for word to trickle out that the Order of The Phoenix was recruiting, and when an opportunity to join appeared Markus took it. He would help the Order as best he could using his position within the Ministry to get whatever information they would need to help people.
