((OOC: This bio is still a work in progress. This is what is finalized, though.

Living a hard life as a military brat, his father trained him long and hard to be a soldier. So much so that he would've been considered abusive. Training him to soully rely on himself and beaten him if he did ask for help.

The young mage is rather shy when it comes to people but isn't afraid to speak his mind. Due to the abuse from his father, he is reluctant to ask for help from others. Mostly fearing that his father would hear of it and beat him.

After coming to Hogwarts, (and being thousands of miles from his home in America) he is still reluctant to ask for help, dispite the fact that his father can't reach him easily. He still trains the boy by sending advance spells that are beyond his ability to learn. Most often destroying tables, desks or other things in the process.

His only friend is a cat named Burn. The furry feline was given to him by the only person supportive of him, his mother before she disappeared in search for the Resurrection Stone. The rumor has it that she now lives through the cat, despite the fact that she is dead. Her body found off the coast of France.
