Character History:

Angelo was born on a chilly spring morning in St Mungo’s, only ten months after his older brother to whom they were affectionately referred to as ‘Irish twins’ which became a running family joke seeing as their mother was mainly of Irish descent. Angelo showed signs of magic a good bit before his older brother to which he accomplished many things before he had causing strain between the two until they reached adulthood.

Angelo started school at Hogwarts being sorted into Gryffindor. His school work was decent though not exceptional by any means unless it came to transfiguration. The subject captivated him. In his third year the professor went over the subject of animagus transformation which forever changed him (pun not intended). For years he worked hard trying to achieve this skill though the professor at the time told him that he would probably never be able to fully transform seeing as his minor transformations were exceptionally comical and not even close to perfection as he turned into something of a lizard man while attempting.

He continued to try to perfect this as he began training as an auror the summer after he graduated. He wasn’t exactly sure how he managed to get his grades up to par but he had thankfully though he was the only one of his siblings that went down that career path. During that first summer in training he had finally achieved a full transformation, though was confused as to why a chameleon had been his animagus. It hadn’t taken long to figure out why as within the year he started doing detective work opposed to standard auror duties due to his inviting presence and ability to get others to spill information easily. He took his animagus form as a calling and began to do work as a private investigator on the side using his animagus successfully to get information not easily attainable.

Angelo stayed close to the ministry during Voldemort’s reign in hopes of keeping himself and his family safe though continued to do his own private work off the record. When Voldemort was finally struck down Angelo felt it was safe to branch off into his own business with investigation though he always stayed close to home. It felt like every which way he turned the family went through tragedy after tragedy. With his cousin Persephone off in a foreign country training, it made everything so much more difficult on the family as he found himself getting angry at her disappearance and her short visit for their nephew’s funeral.
Not long after that his older cousin Gio, his wife, and his sons were killed in a pureblood hate crime. Angelo was devastated and spends just about every bit of spare time trying to figure out who did it. Of course that is difficult as he also has to play ‘referee’ to Isabella and Persephone on a regular basis.

Plots and Politics
Where does your character stand in the treatment of death eaters and their families? Angelo definitely sides more with the equality movement seeing as he and his family are pureblood and it greatly effects them.Since the death of his cousin's family he is even more for equality.

How was your character and their family affected by the reign and death of Voldemort? His family weren't negatively affected per say during Voldemort's reign, though it was not uncommon for them to hide muggleborn family and friends at their home. That stressed them out quite a bit, but they were relieved when the Dark Lord fell. They didn't have to fear for their loved ones anymore.
