xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DEPENDABLE After a less-than-spectacular track record in his youth, Jack has made it his number one priority to be someone that other people can trust. He always follows through on his word and does everything he can to make sure he isn’t let someone down. He will help people without a second thought and will fight for anyone who needs it.

DECISIVE Jack isn’t one to take up time agonizing over whether something is the right decision or not. He trusts his instincts and where they will take him. He can be a bit of a risk taker because he sees the big picture and the potential of where a choice could lead if handled correctly.

SOCIAL Jack likes people. He is completely comfortable in large groups and will always find someone to talk to, usually with very little work. He’s easily able to make connections with people that very often develop into real relationships. He knows he has plenty of friends that he can reach out to and is always comfortable doing it. This has made him very popular throughout his life.

AMBITIOUS Jack doesn’t let anything hold him. When he put his mind on something that he wants, he’s going to get it. He’s not afraid to push himself to accomplish a goal. He takes action instead of just waiting for things to happen. In his younger days, he had the unfortunate habit of occasionally using others to get what he wanted. Luckily, he has since matured and focuses only on his own abilities.

PROTECTIVE Jack will do anything for those he cares about. He always has their best interests at heart and will always go to bat for them. He will set aside his own needs for his friends and family. He isn’t afraid to stand up in defense of others.

OPEN What you see is what you get with Jack. He doesn’t bother to hide his true self. He is fully aware of mistakes that he has made in the past and owns up to them. He calls things as he sees them (without using that to put others down) and won’t let others get away with things.

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EARLY CHILDHOOD

Jackson Grant Monroe was born in Boston Massachusetts to Grant and Cassidy Monroe. Grant was head of The Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Cassidy was a PreWiz teacher. Jack’s life was charmed and it showed. His father held a prominent position within the community and in his mind that left him with very little time to worry about the behavior of his son, but just enough time to provide him with, more-or-less, anything he wanted.

Before he was even school-aged he had already found he could charm his way out of almost anything. His mother tried her best to steer him away from his spoiled behavior but it never quite worked out for her. She could keep him somewhat under control during his younger years but when he received his acceptance to The Salem Institute she all but gave up, hoping school might straighten him out. It did not.


SCHOOL YEARS When he joined Lynx he made friends who caused just as much trouble as he did. He did alright in his classes but he found himself often doing…less than reputable things. What was worse, in the long run, was that he was usually able to get away with it. This behavior continued up until his fourth year.

During the summer holiday, Jack and his family attended a charity event. Cassidy and Jack decided to leave the event early. However, on their way home they were confronted by a man that Grant had sent to prison nearly a decade earlier. Without warning the man used the killing curse, aiming for Jack, but Cassidy pushed him out of the way and was killed instantly. The commotion drew a crowd from the event, made up mostly of Aurors. In the ensuing confrontation, the perpetrator was killed but Cassidy was already gone. It wasn’t long before they received the news that Grant’s sister had been killed hours earlier by the same man leaving behind a husband and young daughter.

After that, Jack completely changed. He threw himself into his studies and was determined to become an Auror he became a star pupil, only getting into trouble on very rare occasions. In the end, he graduated top of his class and started a job in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement before his post-graduation summer was up.


POST-GRADUATION He worked his way through the ranks but found himself becoming more and more despondent. He knew he was doing good and helping to keep people safe, but that meant he had to deal with all the bad too. He was good at his job but he started to realize it wasn’t making him happy the way he’d hoped. It came to a head when his partner was killed in what was supposed to be a routine raid. With barely a word he packed his bags and left with no real plans.

Eventually, he found himself in England in a rented flat. One night he made his way to Diagon Alley, looking for anything to do and ending up a little drunk and very lost. After a bit, he realized he had little choice but to ask for directions. Quite fortuitously he happened to ask the one person who was just as lost as him. Isla Evans had come to Diagon Alley for her sister’s hen party and was even drunker than him. And she happened to be a muggle. It took them over twenty minutes, but the two found their way to the Leaky Cauldron, and after another twenty minutes were found by Isla’s sister Leah.

The next morning he was awakened from a very late sleep by a knocking at his door. He opened the door to none other but Isla. Acting on some insane impulse, she asked him to attend her sister’s wedding with her the next day. On an equally insane impulse, he agreed. After that, it was his turn. Once the wedding was over, he invited Isla on a date and that pattern kept up until the two came to the conclusion that they were dating. Just over two years later, they were married.

In between that time, Jack realized he needed a job. He ended up at the Ministry of Magic in the only department he knew anything about, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. However, this time he chose what seemed to be the lowest stake position, the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Division. He made due, but he had to admit, when the opportunity to teach at Hogwarts was presented to him, he quickly took it.

Jackson is starting on his third year of teaching and has loved every second of it. He and Isla have also begun trying for children.
