VIRIDIAN, Nicholas F.

(Hugh Jackman)

--------------------------------------------------

Phobia: (What is your character most afraid of? Why?)
Habit: Stammering in his speech, although it is rare anyone make him nervous.
Pet Peeve:Constantly being reminded he is second in line to the "throne", to be kept waiting

Personality:
Five good traits
- Observant
- Sly
- Intelligent
- Good Looks? Or at least, in his opinion
- Cocky
Five bad traits
- Bitter / Jealous
- Stubborn
- Opinionative
- Very Analytical
- Doesn’t trust easily

Despite being part of the Slytherin kindred and coming from an entirely too rich family from Bristol, Fierro can be a nice guy. At least, that’s his opinion of himself. That’s just it; it’s something that makes people frustrated with him. He is entirely to opinionative, especially when it comes to himself. Life is an open forum to him, and everyone must understand where he is coming from at all times. He can be jolly, passing the time with quips and jokes that he deems hilarious, but it’s mostly a façade, considering the fact that he is a very dark and bitter man inside. He is currently a slave to Trevor Williams, and second in command is simply not enough for him. As self-absorbed and cocky as he is, Fierro is an extremely intelligent and observant man, with a strong memory.

History:
Childhood
Nicholas was born to George and Arista Darque in Bristol around Thanksgiving in 1962. He was a kind, well-mannered child, knowing he had to be, since he was the son of a wizard in the Ministry. His parents were very quick to teach him that he was going to go to Hogwarts and become like them someday, causing him to catch on to his magical talents and all of his grandeur at an early age. By the time he hit age 11 (and eligibility to enroll to Hogwarts school), Nicholas had already learned how to wield his wand, learning the incantations from his parents as well as the natural talent he had for flying. He was welcomed into the (obvious) house of the Slytherin when the sorting hat went around, keeping an ear out for the notable names like Malfoy, Black and Potter. The Malfoy boy, Lucius, was a quick friend though Nicholas was always wary of friendship with anyone. He had very few friends and even fewer acquaintances while attending Hogwarts in his first couple of years, staying in the background and observing everybody else.

By the time he reached his third year, Nicholas had come to know the presence of James Potter and Sirius Black. There was great disdain whenever they came into the room or merely into conversation. It was said that Nicholas actually came to the aid of Severus Snape when being bullied one day, since he couldn’t stand to watch anyone be terrorized by the likes of those Gryffindor scum. The stronger he became, the more he was motivated to get up and do something; he wanted to stay active. Joining up on the Quidditch team, Nicholas was the star Seeker with his extraordinary talent with flying and amazing ability to see the snitch. His popularity grew as the years went by, as star athlete with high marks in his classes, except for Transfiguration. No matter how hard he studied or withstood the private lessons (which made him terribly impatient), it was impossible. He could not get a handle on that subject.

Nevertheless, he graduated with high marks in every other class.

Before the Takeover
The Ministry of Magic was always an ideal place to work for him, especially since his own father and brother were already employed there. His father was a consultant to Fudge himself and Tristan had joined the ranks of the aurors. It was here that he came to meet his future wife, when visiting his brother in the office one day after checking up on his possible employment. Alexandra was a figure of perfection and beauty, someone his parents already deemed proper enough to marry…that was, for his brother. She was an auror, a powerful witch and a beautiful woman. Alexandra was a fellow classmate from Hogwarts, a Gryffindor, though class houses meant little to him anymore. She was perfect in his eyes, and after courting her for a few months, he proposed marriage.

The two were a young but successful couple once he had obtained a job at the Ministry as a part of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and she continued on as a well-known auror. When his daughter was born, his life changed forever. A bouncing baby girl, jovial and a wonderful spirit to be around, Kara Melinde Viridian lit up his life. Alexandra never understood how his Slytherin spirit was able to be so kind and lighthearted and his response was always that he was happy with his family life, happy to be social, and felt whole. From then on, Nicholas became a hard-working man, (never doing too much, though) trying to provide the best for his family. It was all he wanted, an honest, peaceful living. No harm done.

There was something wrong in the air, however, when the rumor mill was aflutter with words against his own family. There were rumors that his own daughter did not belong to him. Every night, he inquired about these allegations to his wife but she either denied it thus lying to his face or simply ignored it. The more and more he thought about it, he became paranoid. Kara looked nothing like him. He feared the possibility that this was all truth. After following his wife to Azkaban, he flipped through the visitors records. How was he so blind? His own parents had questioned it at a time, and so did his brother… He discovered that she was frequently in to visit the freshly imprisoned Sirius Black, the very man he loathed in school and even moreso now. Nicholas listened in on their conversations and his entire world came crashing down. The rumors were true. This pained his heart deeply, causing him to go mad. One night it became too unbearable to be around his own family. Nicholas kissed his daughter’s forehead and bid the Viridian Estate farewell.

The battles between good and evil under the name of the Dark Lord Voldemort had begun and for the better of his daughters life he decided to stage his own death and disappear into oblivion. He needed time to think, a chance for reinvention. The man Nicholas Viridian, honorable man of the Ministry of Magic was no more. He was now Fierro (middle name) Darque (mothers maiden name), the bloodthirsty Death Eater. Most of the Death Eaters, especially Lucius Malfoy, had expected his turn to happen sooner or later. The war welcomed him with open arms. Revenge burned behind his eyelids.

The battles raged on and as he discovered the whereabouts of his wife, Fierro dueled with her and killed her with his own two hands. After satisfying his bloodlust, Fierro decided to retire, hiding out in the shadows, always on his guard.

Since the Takeover
Trevor Williams and his campaign of continuing Voldemort’s legacy intrigued him some, and eventually the retired Death Eater joined them to get back into the action. It was here that he climbed the ranks to his advisor, essentially tearing everyone out of his way to become second in line. This place was the most gratifying, he realized. This was where he belonged, and this was what he was supposed to do: dispose of the Order.

Fierro deemed it unnecessary to hide beneath a guise of polyjuice, which was always a suggestion given to him by his fellow Death Eaters. He saw it pointless, still. Anyone who knew him before would surely know it was him anyway. Rumor has it that he keeps his own face in hopes to see Kara someday, even though he hides behind the words that his good looks were too good to give up.
