    Appearance: [Image: edge.jpg]

    Yorick Warwick is a tall, broad man who stands tall at 6'4 and weighs in at 210 lbs. He has a broad, muscular build which he had attained due to the constant prowling and hunting that he does as a werewolf. Warwick has long shoulder length blonde hair that is brushed back and wild looking, that trait is complimented by his wild eyes that reflect his madness. Yorick's choice of attire is rather grim, he wears a long, plain black robe with a high collar and a long cloak giving him the appearance of a vicar. When in his werewolf form his fur tends to be light brown.



    History: Almost nothing is known about his past other than the fact that the Warwick family is an extremely affluent family and a powerful family ever since the middle ages. There are rumors that Yorick in his werewolf form had eaten them all, or even worse eaten them in his human form. Where his family disappeared off to no one knows.

    It was said that during his school year, from the very first year that he was drawn to the dark arts. It was also said that he would often bully students from other houses, even hexing them if he got the chance. During his second year he made it into the Slytherin Quidditch team as a keeper, due to his athletic build and he remained so until his graduation. During his OWL years it was also rumored that he received an O in almost all his classes, he was known for being a student who highly excelled academically and in sports, he was the guy who would be envied. During his NEWT year he told his professor that he had interests in working in the ministry, which surprised his professor as Yorick was known for his great interest in the dark arts, however his advisor told him what he needed to do regardless

    With that Yorick after graduating took a few months off where he traveled Eastern Europe in order to enhance his knowledge. Ironically around the same time there was a rumor that there was a werewolf on the loose and was hunting down children in the country side. That fateful trip would change Yorick's life forever as when he was in Bulgaria, he got into a drunken scuffle with a random person, when they took it outside, the stranger led him into the nearby woods and they engaged in a duel. As the duel progressed and the eerie yellow disc of the moon hung above them, this stranger transformed into a werewolf and mauled Yorick leaving him there for dead. Yorick awoke the next day in critical condition but realizing what he had become he knew his fate had been sealed. Yorick knew that he would live a damned life so he decided to make an opportunity out of this. Yorick continued to roam Europe attacking children and stragglers in the night, everywhere from Paris to Prague to Venice and Florence to Bratislava. No city was safe from this crazed madman.

    Yorick was back in England whilst the countries he was attacking went on a spree to hunt him down. When he arrived he first went back to Hogwarts to apply for a teaching post however at that point he was far too young and was asked to come back in a few years time, despite his outstanding grades during his OWL and NEWTS and especially in DADA. The headmaster had informed Yorick that due to the fact that he was openly a dark wizard and that he simply was not going to hire him, not for anything but for the sake of the school's reputation, bitter and angry Yorick left swearing that he will get back at the school one day for this rejection, he promised that he will do his best to infect as many students as possible, openly informing the head master for the first time that he is indeed a werewolf and that he intended to infect as many people as he possibly can.

    With that Yorick Warwick made it clear what his intentions were set out to fulfill them, he plans to use his family's once noble manor in order to run his dirty business casting a shadow upon Hogsmead. There the psychotic werewolf and his soon to be posse reside in Wellingtonshire, along with his lover and his house elves. The manor was in construction when Wellingtonshire was being built and the manor was finished in 1880 after his parent's death and as he was the sole heir he inherited the manor.


    Personality: Cruel, sadistic monster are the two words that epitomize Warwick's behavior. Warwick takes extreme pleasure in absolutely mentally and physically torturing others. He is a cold calculating man, who has mastered the art of manipulation which is augmented by his keen knowledge and expertise in occlumency and Legilemens. Yorick is also an ultimate opportunist pouncing on any opportunity that comes to him, using the most underhanded and dirtiest methods to always achieve his goal.

    Lastly despite what is said about lycanthropy, Warwick unlike most werewolves takes great pleasure out of his transformation, despite the excruciating pain one feels in the transformation process, he does his best to situate himself where he can infect as many people as possible. However he is no fool, he makes sure that no one can witness his transformation, the only other living being that currently knows is his house elf, Gromm and his lover.
