Manfred

He was always a potential Keeper, but no one put much interest in teaching him and he lived all his childhood without ever considering that possibility.   It's only a happy coincidence that he has a natural disposition for helping and assuming responsibilities, but most of the knowledge he has it's thanks to his older sister and their uncle, and to his own curiosity.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

While not particularly muscular, he is healthy and reasonably strong and fit.

Facial Features

Oval shaped face, with sharp features. No facial hair (unless you are counting his thick eyebrows and dense eyelashes)

Identifying Characteristics

  • An almost invisible square-shaped scar in the left of his chin. And a little larger one, an spiral, on his arm. Both caused by his sister when she was too young to control his temper or healing without leaving marks.
  • Deep, warm voice (according to the girl sitting next to him right now)
  • Special abilities

  • For him, having two strands of magical blood usually feels inconvenient more than anything
  • He developed a high self-control in order to stop himsefl for using magic by accident
  • He's a natural for symbolic magic
  • Mental characteristics

    Education

    He assisted to a regular school, which followed the national curriculum and added lessons to help wizards to understood and safely use magic.   When he turned fifteen he was supposed to take private lessons with special teachers because he was—technically—a potential keeper. But the teachers didn't care much about him because everybody knew that Margareth would fulfill that role.   Discouraged by that, he preferred to pursue other goals, and ended up focusing only on learning how to reign his uncommon amount of magic so it could be useful instead of dangerous. He ended up learning a bunch of magic with a wide range of uses. He was particularly good with Symbolism but he challenged himself to learn and use words too.   Ever since he was a kid, his uncle was the only one who really put any effort in explaining him the complicated reasoning and secret interests behind the ancient rules and the current practices. He knew that his uncle wasn't trying to prepare him to rule over the The Two Families, maybe he just enjoyed sharing his view of the world.   That knowledge, and what little he has learnt in his first lessons and talking with his sister and Genieve, would become the base of his formation when, almost two years ago, he ended up as the only potential Keeper.

    History

    Fred and Gregory met at school, during lunch. They don't remember when they became best friends.

    Relationship Reasoning

    Since Gregory was so fast to make friends and a little bit older than Fred, he has plenty of friends other than him.   Fred didn't established any other real friendship, even when he is in good terms with several people. Therefore, Fred has their friendship in a more important place. But they care for and think highly of each other just the same.

    Relationship Reasoning

    Raúl likes to share his knowledge with his nephew. Fred hates the lessons but he has to admit that they are useful.   While it seems to be the opposite, Raúl has more trust in his nephew than Fred has in him.
