Role:: Transfiguration Professor & Deputy Headteacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry
ThreeWordSummary:: Wise, kindly, powerful
UsuallyFoundIn:: Transfiguration classroom, The Leaky Cauldron, The Three Broomsticks
Appearance: Still relatively young (in his late 50s), with a vibrant twinkle in his eyes, impeccably neat attire, and a quiet air of profound power. His beard is not yet formed and he always appears impeccably clean-shaven. He moves with a calm confidence.
Personality: Brilliant, enigmatic, and deeply perceptive. Dumbledore is already a legendary figure, known for his intellect and his defeat of Grindelwald's allies (though the final confrontation is yet to come as at the start of our campaign in 1939). He is deceptively gentle but possesses a formidable will. He watches his students closely, particularly those he senses have great potential – or great darkness. He champions unconventional thought and independent inquiry.
Gossip: "Professor Dumbledore knows everything." "He never gives a straight answer, always speaks in riddles." "He's unusually interested in Tom Riddle for some reason." "Some say he's the only one who can truly stand up to Grindelwald."
