Full Name: David Valentine (most call him Val or Shadow)
Age: 33
Blood: Pure Blood
Job: Member of Seven/Member of Echelon
Wand: 15 inches, mahogany, phoenix feather center
Physical description: David Valentine is 6 1/2 feet tall. His hair is cut short, barely a half inch long on his head. He has no facial hair to speak of as he keeps it shaved clean. He has dark brown, almost black eyes that seem to glue when its dark out. He has a scar on his face that runs from the corner of his right eye halfway down his cheek from an old battle wound. He his very well built, his clearly defined muscles and abs are envied by many. Put his normal blank face, scary scar, muscle, and the Half-Native American ancestry and you get a very intimidating man.
Personality: Valentine speaks little and thinks much. He spends most of his time alone with his thoughts. He is smart, determined, and mean not to mention resourceful. He knows what needs done and you can bet that he'll find a quick way to do it with minimal loss of life, on his side anyway. He speaks highly of the Seven and the Cause. He cannot be persuaded to give it up and he is extremely fast and tough in battle.
Likes: Fighting, killing, reading, leading, war, battle...
Dislikes: TOE, Muggles, wizards/witches who aren't pure blooded
Family/History: David Valentine was born in Minnesota, in a house on the banks of the Lake Superior. He lived a stone's throw away from the Canadian border. Valentine's entire family were dedicated supporters of a group that was similar to the Seven. However, this group's hatred toward the muggles, squibs, and magical folk who weren't pure made the Seven look petty. However, it was for this reason that the group wasn't very large and only occupied two or three of the upper states, Minnesota included.
These supporters like the Valentines were all declared, but were forbidden by the American Ministry for Magic to send their children to the school. David was trained at home from the age of 8. In the morning he would learn all about transfiguration, herbology, and general charms from his mother, who was a white American. In the afternoon, he was drilled by his father, a Sioux Indian, in the Arts of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and ironically enough the Dark Arts themselves. He also learned Astronomy, how to orient himself using the stars at night and the sun during the day without using a compass. Though he knew that as well.
One day, when Valentine was 13, the Ministry put into effect an operation they had been planning for a long time. They sent Ministry Aurors out to apprehend all supporters of the hideous group and members, that they knew of with orders to arrest, but kill if they fought back. When they showed up at Valentine's house, David was back in the woods exercising. The men who came killed Valentines mother, father, and his little brother and sister because they all had fought back. All the men but one left, and the one who stayed went to look for Vakentine. David hid in a tree while the man passed under him. David, who had heard the screams, dropped down beating the man till he bled and could no longer get back up. Valentine was really big for his age. He finished the man off with the Killing Curse from the man's own wand and fled.
It was during this time in his life that he met the man who would be the greatest influence on him. Khalid Onaris. Khalid Onaris gave him food and shelter at the time he needed it most. This man helped him to grow physically and mentally. He mentored him in his pursuit of the higher learning of magic and other more mundane subjects. This man became like a father to him. It was this reason that David now called him Father.
He taught himself magic for the next five years and when he was 18 he hid his wand going into a self-imposed exile. A journey of spiritual growth and enlightenment. He joined the Marines and became a Special Ops man right away. Within two years he was an Officer but was dishonorably discharged when he killed an enemy without prior authorization. He became a mercenary and roamed Europe for the next five years doing odd jobs for Governments, mostly in the Middle East, like sabotage, murder, and other heinous crimes.
When he was 23 he recovered his wand upon hearing of the spreading of a group called the Seven. His father, Khalid had especially talked the group up. He was intrigued and made inquiries and eventually joined. He has proven himself time and again with killing and other things that he was used to from his time in battle. He believes he is on his way up in the organization and would do anything to see it thrive.
When Daniel Marsden was assassinated, David Valentine, who was 32 had been quite impressed. Not many on the planet could do such a thing. He had no issue switching his allegiance. He did it quite easily. Now he had a new mission and a new purpose.
