PERSONALITY: Altair is fiercely independent. He is able to accomplish anything he puts his mind to and won't give up. While not a social butterfly, like other former Slytherins and purebloods, Altair does like to have control and be in control. He is extremely ambitious, persistent, and determined which makes him appear to be power hungry and have a controlling attitude. The key to his success if his flexibility. He is able to re-survey a situation and take a different approach to achieve his goal, which makes him rather adaptable and versatile. However, this also makes him a fierce competitor.

Relationships with Altair is always complicated as they seems to always be a series of extremes. Altair can be downright moody for no apparent reason but is highly possessive and jealous. This possessiveness (and jealous nature) makes him quite the loyal individual, even though it's more for his own gain. He holds grudges against people and rarely forgives and forgets. He will retaliate if he believes he has been wronged but will always remember a kind gesture forever and repay it. Any kind of selfless gesture done to Altair will gain his trust and respect.

Altair is one of the most misunderstood individuals. His need for control may make him appear to be one-sided and callous, but for him to be out of control is very dangerous to his psyche. When he is in control, he feels safe. His emotions tend to be full force and while he may come off as rude, cold, selfish, overly devoted, or just plain crazy he is still trying to understand his own emotions. He has a fear of failure and keeps it hidden extremely well, often lashing out on others.

HISTORY:

Little is known about Alphard Black following his removal from the Black family tree. He had a soft heart toward Muggle Borns and gave money to his favorite nephew, Sirius Black, after he had been disowned by the family. Alphard kept a slew of his own money hidden from his family, thanks to a lot of good investments in cauldrons and racer brooms. In his late fifties he met and married an unknown pureblood woman who hailed from Sweden. She was barely thirty by the time they married but it was true love. Alphard's wife gave birth to a single child before she became barren. They named the child after the brightest star in the constellation Aquila and were happy for several years. However, Alphard's health been troubling him for a number of years. By the time Altair was four years old, his father was bedridden and dying. By the time he was six, Alphard had passed away from the Dragon Pox.

Raised by his mother, Altair experienced a lot of confusion during his childhood. Alphard taught him to accept people for who they were, not their blood, but his mother had switched completely following his father's death. Muggle borns were nothing more than worthless beings trying to usurp those who have a rightful seat in power. Altair soon began to believe his mother's words, especially after an encounter with a Muggle bully that left him with a bloody lip.

He was accepted into Hogwarts at the tender age of eleven and selected for his father's house; Slytherin. Whilst in Slytherin, Altair prospered and his feelings toward Muggle Borns solidified. He became one of the most ruthless tormentors in the halls and often used his smooth technique of transfiguration to mess with Muggle Borns. He was a star Keeper, popular amongst the Slytherin girls (and some other girls from various houses), and had a keen intellect that let him excel throughout school.

When Potter arrived his first year, Altair had already grown out of mindless tormenting. He had avoided all gossip about Potter's adventures and his mixing with the Muggle Born Granger, who was soon beating his previously held scores in most of his classes. Altair graduated and left the gossip and Muggle Born picking on some one else. But that wasn't before he fell deeply in love, with a Muggle Born. He hadn't known her long but her sweet, gentle nature mixed with courage and bravery had him swept off his broomstick.

Altair worked at the Ministry in the Magical Law Enforcement as an apprentice Auror prior to the ministry being taken over by the Dark Lord. He learned of the new Muggle Born act and swiftly left his post in search of the girl he loved. Along the way, he may help a few straggling Muggle Borns stay hidden but only if they could bring him closer to his unrequited love.
