GENERAL PERSONALITY: Standing over six feet tall with a muscular build, Tristan can often be described as "intimidating" but hidden beneath all that muscle is a man of insecurity and need. He craves affection and attention and is more than willing to dole it out in return. Tristan is a safe harbor in the storm, keeping a cool and level head during emergencies and able to think clearly through chaos but is contradictory in the fact that he's prone to jump to conclusions and make rash decisions especially when pressured by emotion. His own emotions are not something he handles well and when he begins to feel vulnerable he will often shut down in favor of a mask of indifference

Character History:  Declan McAlister came from old money in his native Ireland. He was raised with the standard aristocratic ideals that of course he was better than everyone else and that entitled him to look down his long nose at them. Eager to prove just how much better he was, Declan moved to England shortly after graduation with his trust fund and a thirst for power.  He took a position in Magical Law and worked his way on up to a prestigious lawyer position. He met his wife by accident. She was visiting London on holiday and had gotten lost in Diagon Alley. They were immediately smitten with each other and his family found Astrid to be a suitable match. She was a blonde haired blue eyed bombshell that came from good breeding with money and the right ideals regarding non magical folk. 

When the first wizarding war broke out, Declan and Astrid were brought in to the Death Eater fold by a family friend for his useful position within the Ministry and the fact that he was a likely candidate for the next open spot on the Wizengamot. They were both half bloods among purebloods, yes, but like any good aristocrat would do, they ignored the shadier parts of their family trees and no one looked too hard at the broken branches. Somewhere during the heyday of the Death Eater's first rule they had a son. He was perfect in every way, blonde hair and blue eyed just like his mother. They were a strange contradiction, doting and loving parents, ruthless Death Eaters who committed heinous acts of murder and torture while hiding behind a mask. The mask eventually failed them, they were caught one night in a Death Eater raid. Astrid was sent to Azkaban, unable to buy her way out and Declan was Kissed by the Dementors, living out his days as a shell of a man in St. Mungo's.

Their son ended up at an orphanage for wizarding children. He didn't have an easy time there considering that his parents were the reason some of those children were there too. The other kids often ganged up on him, called him names and told him he was Death Eater scum. As he grew older he learned to shut down his emotions, become a stone faced wall in the face of bullying, it was a trait that he carried with him well into adulthood. He grew up being ostracized by both the children and staff of the orphanage and began to embrace the mean persona they thrust upon him. He bullied them back and when his words wouldn't hurt them his fists would. When he was sent off to Hogwarts, Tristan was sorted into Slytherin which came as a shock to absolutely no one. He finally came into his own at Hogwarts, finding friends in his house, children of other Death Eaters and those who shared the pureblood ideology. They stoked the flames of Tristan's personality and fed a dislike for muggles and muggleborns.

In his fifth year he began spending time with a sixth year Gryffindor named Lucas. The Lion was a known muggleborn and the fact that Tristan found himself thinking about the boy when he wasn't around disgusted him. The Heart wants what the heart wants and soon it didn't matter who Lucas' parents were, Tristan felt like a completely different person in his company. The Lion softened The Snake's heart and they began a relationship which continued on 'til after graduation. Voldemort was rising to power then and Lucas did what any Gryffindor would do and stood against the Death Eaters while Tristan chose to keep his nose clean and mind his own business. He found work as a Medi-Wizard in training, finding that he preferred to make people feel better over hurting them. One night as the second wizarding war raged on, Lucas didn't come home from his job as an Auror-In-Training. Tristan was devastated and fell into a depression. Eventually he was coaxed out of it through the friendship of an adorable witch named Meri, a pharmacist named Eoin and the company of a hairless cat affectionately named Mitch.
