Requested Positions:
Name: High Elder Druid Eshrael Willem Oreldrin nee Highborne of the Secret Coven of the Old Ways
Age: Born the 3rd of March of 1905. Though due to druidic traditions, methods, and magical techniques, he does not look as old as he truly is. Instead he appears to be in his late thirties. This effect only affects his physical appearance for he will still die when his time comes. He is currently the third oldest druid in their records.
Sex: Male
Nationality: English
Speech: English. Through the years of storytelling he has trained his voice so that he is able to add practically exacting emotion to words. While in class he makes constant use of a magical amulet that compels people who hear his words to be open and more receptive to the thoughts and ideas he is transmitting. It is not an overpowering compulsion; minute enough that only people with advanced mental capabilities will notice easily. He activates it before class with a command word and at the end of class he deactivates it with a similar command.
Blood: Pure – Both bloodlines of his family have been pure for countless generations. Luckily they have kept in mind to breed with various other pure bloodlines in order to maintain healthy and non degenerate genes.
Wife: Cadsuane Oreldrin (Recently Deceased) – His Celtic pureblood wife was a romantic and enchanting love. They met while his family spent three years in Ireland when he was only twenty one. He had always lived a strict life and she showed him an exciting and free one. They quickly fell in love but due to her father’s view of the Catholic religion and how Eshrael was not within the Druidic Order, he refused to let them wed. At the end of the stay, Eshrael and his parents moved back to England. Three years later, at the age of twenty-seven, Eshrael traveled back to Ireland and joined the Druidic Order, forsaking Catholicism so that he may marry his cherished love, Cadsuane.
Father: Sir Willem Highborne (Deceased) – His English father was a pious cardinal and bishop of the Roman Catholic Church and a ordained Knight of England. One of the few uncorrupted religious officials at the time, he had raised his son with his strict morals and faith with which he still abides. When he was alive, Eshrael respected his father and was fond of him but he did not love his him as William was too busy to build a full connection with his son.
Mother: Lady Mellany Highborne nee Rossi (Recently Deceased) – His Italian mother was a loving and nurturing women who in almost all ways embodied the concepts behind today’s Christianity. Eshrael loved his mother and admired her. It was mainly due to his mother’s love for his father that caused Eshrael to listen to his father’s religious tenets.
Siblings: He had a twin sister but she died in the womb. As so, he has wondered many times if, in some way, he was the cause of his sister’s death. After two more miscarriages later on, her mother stopped attempting to have children.
Other Family: Eshrael has three children; two sons and a daughter. Aiden, his eldest son, has followed the tenets and beliefs of the Old Ways and is his fathers pride. His second child, daughter Arcalia, has become a dryad and mother to all within the order. She is a loving woman and also follows the Old Way. The youngest, Gabrael, would not have followed the Old Ways if it was not for his older sister, Arcalia and their mother Cadsuane. Gabrael always felt second to Aiden even though Eshrael tries his hardest to prevent favoritism. Arcalia and Cadsuane noticed early on and showed him favor. So now, instead of there being a disconnected member of the family there is merely a sibling rivalry. Gabrael constantly proves himself and outperforms Aiden. In the last few decades, Eshrael has taken notice and due to that and Cadsuane's death, the family has grown tighter.
Family Interactions: Eshrael has always been a family man. Whenever he is not performing required duties he spends his time with his children and grandchildren; if it is possible he will even bring them along for his duties. His favorite pastime is telling stories to youngsters. His familiar relationships are to the most degree healthy and the hardest one, his relationship with Gabrael, has become better in the last few decades. At the moment he realizes that he should not press his presence onto the rest of his remaining, living family and so chooses to wait for them to contact him.
Height: 5'10" He stands with good posture though when sitting his posture does relax a little.
Weight: 174 lbs Maintaining a healthy and fit body he chooses to walk places or teleport as he does not trust other modes of transportation; walking was perfectly good when he was young and it remains so today.
Hair: Earthy brown dreadlocks extending to his mid back that have an emerald green moss growing on them, giving his hair a peculiarly distinct green look. He tends to his hair and the moss every morning and evening.
Eyes: Green with hazel specks; though depending on his emotions they natural shift towards different colors and the specks will deepen or lighten as well. Some say it is a washed out form of metamorphagus.
Skin Colour: Tan, though due to his age he has a surprisingly small amount of wrinkles due to the herbal care and magical techniques.
Clothing style: Eshrael’s entire outfit is made of natural materials. Aside from the amulet he wears, each piece he has crafted himself. His slippers are dual layered leather and laced and stitched with cured woven horse hair. He wears a close fitting vest of thin leather with cured maple leaves stitched onto the outside to give it a look of healthy green leaves. Under the vest he wears a woolen shirt naturally dyed a dark green with a hue of brown and throughout the sleeves are willow branches sown into it. His pants are also leather, but thicker and stylized to look like the bark of a tree, giving the look of a tree trunk and at the top, the design of the leaves continues down towards his feet, stopping short at his knees. His over-robe is an incredibly sparse-woven material of willow branches allowing you to see easily through. He wears a different over-robe for each season. Currently his over-robe has meticulously place green leaves upon it to add a more three dimensional feel and when it moves it looks like branches of leaves swaying in the wind. Throughout his moss-grown hair are leaves and twigs. At a distance most would probably consider him a living, moving tree.
Accessories: Eshrael uses a staff instead of a wand when casting magic. It is the tradition of druids to do so and has not been broken for ages. The staves are crafted in a similar fashion to wands but the technique is a secret to the druids. His staff was an inheritance from his wife's father after he married Cadsuane. It is of solid oak and appears to be three separate pieces woven and twisted together. All upon its length are engraved runes and bits of druidic history. At the top is a quartz crystal that looks as if the three sections had just grown around it. The crystal is around three inches tall and only a single inch wide. You are able to see portions of it from between each of the sections of twisting oak.
Other: All over his body are magically enhanced tattoos of vines, branches and leaves. At his feet are tattoos of moss, grass and fallen leaves. His legs are tattooed with bark as if tree trunks and vines. His chest, arms, and face are tattooed with more vines, branches and leaves. The whole look while naked creates the image of a tree. The enchantments upon the tattoos prevent physical aging and change colors with the seasons. Again, the aging property does not prevent death or elongate life in any manner; they only keep the person looking younger than their actual age.

Throughout his moss-grown hair are leaves and twigs. At a distance most would probably consider him a living, moving tree.
Personality: His personality is derived from a combination of Christian beliefs and the beliefs and views of Druidism. He respects mother nature and all forms of life, knowing that he should take care of them and be a good steward, that all must remain in balance, and that every being has a purpose and unity. He will fight to defend the lands and works hard to tend the life of plants and animals. However, he does understand the superiority of the human spirit over the rest of mother nature and does all he can to protect and nurture young life.
He speaks with a powerful voice filled with willpower but is contrasted by the softness of care. Eshrael is a noble hearted man and is courageous in the defense of what he believes against anything. His patronus, a deer, speaks a good portion about his personality as well.
Unfortunately, due to his strong beliefs and the amount of time he has spent as a high member of the druidic society, Eshrael has become a little close-minded in his views. He is also relatively strict in his teachings and demands respect. Inside of the classroom is when these traits are most evident. He also has a quick temper if anyone suggests that something is worthless as he believes all things have worth.
History: Born to Mellany and Willem, he spent the first ten years of his life with them. From a young age he was discovered to have magical talent, just like the rest of his pureblood family, and so, received training at an early age. His father was usually busy with state affairs and political action and did not spend much time with his son. However, Eshrael's mother cared for him and taught him all of the basics of magic.
At age eleven, he left his families care and went to study at Hogwarts. During his stay there he was put into House Gryffindor. Time passed uneventfully for the most part and he graduated with the necessary grades though he was not near the top of the class. After graduation, he went back to live with his parents for three years.
At twenty-one, he spent three years in Ireland where he met a girl named Cadsuane Oreldrin. Within those three years he fell passionately in love with her. At the end of the stay he wanted to marry her but her father refused and so he left back to England with a broken heart. He would have stayed except that he was already engaged with a few political involvements. While he was away, he still wrote her every day and their relationship and love only grew stronger.
When his engagements had ended, three years later, he sped back to Ireland and to Cadsuane. During the time he had spent at home he thought about many things; many ideas and philosophies. Upon arriving, he told her father that he would join the Secret Coven of the Old Ways and leave Catholicism in order to marry Cadsuane. Her father accepted and they married within the next few weeks. As a marriage gift, her father bestowed his staff to him as a gift and a promise between the two.
That year is the year Eshrael always looks back to; it was the best year of his life. Not only was he able to marry the woman he loved, his first love, but he also joined the Secret Coven of the Old Ways which he has found to mean more to him than he could imagine, and he also had his first child; a son, Aiden. The year went by wonderfully and quickly. He began his study under one of the elder druids and enjoyed the new life of his family.
The time withing the druidic order went quickly. Already having previous magical skills it was difficult for him to learn the new techniques that the druids employed. It took him a few years but he learned. Within those years, three years after his son was born, his wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who they named Arcalia. Three years after that, his second son, Gabrael was also born.
Many years passed. Through those years, his family grew together with love and his rank in the druid society increased. Soon, his children were having children of their own. Years still passed and those children had children.
He was the High Elder Druid when his wife passed away. Luckily it was an honor that she lived to see. The next three years were the toughest years of his life; tougher than all his training put together. In the middle of those three years he was almost threatened to lose his position but he recovered with the support of his kids and grandkids. If he had not turned to them he might have died sooner.
Still yearning for winds of change, he followed them when they arose and lead him to Hogwarts. He would soon find out his purpose there...
