History:
Bishop Santos, a Ravenclaw student, embarked on a remarkable journey during his years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Coming from a family with a complicated history, Bishop faced challenges that would shape his character and define his path.
During his time at Hogwarts, Bishop developed a complex relationship with Tatiana Alexandria Beautero, a fellow Ravenclaw. At first, they were fierce rivals, constantly competing academically and on the Quidditch field. Bishop admired Tati's skills as a healer, while he himself excelled as a player on the Quidditch team.
However, beneath their competitive façade, a subtle connection grew between them. Bishop started to develop feelings for Tati, but he kept them hidden, fearing that she didn't feel the same way. Instead, they became close friends, supporting each other through their respective challenges and sharing their dreams and aspirations.
Their friendship reached a pivotal moment when the Yule Ball approached. Bishop, harboring secret affection for Tati, gathered the courage to ask her to be his date. To his delight, she accepted, and the evening was filled with enchantment and shared laughter. Bishop felt a deepening connection, but his uncertainty prevented him from expressing his true feelings.
Soon after the ball, their relationship took an unexpected turn. Tati's parents, concerned about the escalating dangers at Hogwarts under Snape's leadership, made the difficult decision to pull her out of school for her own safety. Bishop, caught up in his own familial turmoil as his parents embraced the dark mark, was unable to fully comprehend the reasons behind Tati's sudden departure.
During their time apart, Bishop's life changed dramatically. The burden of protecting his siblings from their parents' dangerous affiliations compelled him to take them into hiding. Seeking refuge, he turned to Tati's family, who had already gone into hiding.
Tragedy struck when Tati's father was injured while trying to protect Bishop's siblings during their journey between hideouts. Trying to repay her father for it, he went out to try and get what was needed to help him from his injuries, but he suffered his own injuries. In a desperate attempt to save Bishop from a werewolf attack, Tati administered powdered silver and dittany, inadvertently cursing him with lycanthropy. Bishop, overwhelmed with anger and resentment, blamed Tati for the consequences of her actions, even though she had intended to help.
As Bishop grappled with his curse, Tati continued to protect and care for his siblings, becoming their guardian until the end of the war against Voldemort. After the Dark Lord's defeat, she accompanied Bishop's siblings to one of his uncles, ensuring their continued safety and well-being.
Inspired by his experiences and newfound control over his condition, Bishop devoted himself to the study of alchemy, seeking ways to manage and suppress the effects of the curse. Through extensive research and experimentation, he learned about the benefits of the wolfsbane potion, which allowed him to retain his human mind during the full moon transformations. Bishop's pursuit of knowledge and self-mastery in alchemy became his lifeline as he navigated the complexities of his cursed existence.
With his experiences shaping him into a resilient and compassionate individual, Bishop has pursued his dream of teaching and applied for the position of Professor of Alchemy at Hogwarts in 2005. He hopes to share his expertise, help students develop their understanding of alchemy, and inspire them with his own journey of resilience and personal growth.

Despite his initial resentment towards Tati for inadvertently cursing him, Bishop recognizes the need to move past his anger and focus on personal growth. He possesses a sense of justice and aims to use his knowledge and skills to protect others from harm, drawing from his own experiences to empathize with those facing adversity. Bishop's cautious nature and guarded demeanor stem from the scars of his past, but beneath his protective shell lies a compassionate and caring individual who is willing to go to great lengths to help others.
Bishop's journey has taught him the importance of resilience, self-mastery, and forgiveness. He has learned to channel his emotions into determination, striving to make the most of his circumstances and to use his knowledge and abilities for the betterment of those around him.
