History:

Matthew James Breaker was born October 8th of 1973 to Amanda and Frank Breaker in the small town of Damascus, Virginia. His father was the only son of a pureblood family while his mother was a halfblood with her father being a wizard and her mother being a muggle.

While his father had been pureblood and had been entitled to a large wealth from his family; he gave it all up when he announced that he was in love with a halfblood witch and intended to marry her. His father had been disowned by his family for not following tradition and marrying a "nice pureblood girl" but when asked about it Frank would often state that he 'wouldn't trade his love for all of the wealth in the world'.

Matthew, or Matt as he prefers to be called, grew up with a generally average childhood for a young wizard. His mother was a potions master and often sold her potions to other witches or wizards within their small community. His father was a Beast Master and the young Matt often found himself with his father learning to breed and raise magical creatures.

When Matt turned 11; he attended the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he was sorted into the Thunderbird House. Matt was generally a good student and was very diligent with his studies. Of course out of all of his classes; his courses of Magical Creatures were his most enjoyable.

When Matt graduated in the year of 1990; he decided to travel the world to learn about other magical creatures. He travelled for a few of years when in 1996 he ended up in Europe; right in time for the start of the Second Wizarding War. Matt, upon realizing what was happening to the many muggleborn witches and wizards; put aside his own ambitions and decided he needed to act as well. Taking it upon himself; he worked to get the innocent muggleborns either into hiding or out of the country entirely.

It was helping a muggleborn witch that nearly cost Matt his very life when he had been ambushed by Death Eaters. While he had defeated the Dark wizard; Matt had been severely injured. Thankfully; the witch he had been helping had been trained as a healer and was able to save his life. To this very day, Matt bears the scars of this encounter and continues to walk with a slight limp but he doesn't mind. He figures it was a small price to pay to save an innocent life.

Like most of the wizarding world; Matt was relieved when the war finally ended and Voldemort was defeated once and for all.

Now that the war was over, Matt continued back to his original calling; learning about rare magical creatures. He travelled all over the world once more when in the year 2005; he decided it was finally time to settle down for good.

While he had toyed with the idea of going back to America, his home, something seemed to call him back to Europe. That urge to go back to Europe was rightly founded when he learnt that the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was looking for a Professor to fill the role in teaching the Care of Magical Creatures. It was a perfect fit and Matt started to teach at the prestigious school.

Now Matt gets to become involved with a new adventure; teaching the very subject he cares so much about.

Personality:

Matt is generally a calm and well mannered man. Loving the simpler things in life; he tends to keep to the company of animals rather than people. This is not to say that he doesn’t enjoy a person’s company but it does take him a bit to break out of his shell and be able to interact with others.

Once you get to know him; you will find no truer friend than Matt. Loyal to a fault, he protects those who he close to; even if that means putting his own life on the line to do so. Liars and betrayers are not people that Matt associates with and he is more than willing to hold a grudge against the people who do such things.

Being a Beast Master and overall lover of animals he detests all kinds of cruelty towards animals; whether magical or not and is unafraid to speak out if he sees it. He takes his job very seriously and will not tolerate someone messing with his animals or his students.

Besides tending to his animals; Matt loves music and will spend his free time playing several muggle instruments including an old guitar.

Other Notes:

Matt has light brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He usually is seen sporting facial hair; either a mustache, bead, or both.
Matt walks with a slight, almost unnoticeable, limp on his right side. This is because of the injuries he sustained during the Second Wizarding War. He also has several large scars across his torso and back from the same encounter.
