PERSONALITY.
General Personality: Octavio is a man with the personality, bearing, and the sheer integrity and dedication of a man fueled by the desire for vengeance and to take back what has been stolen from him. He is very charming and draws people very easily into his social circles, but can just as quickly exclude them. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and will suffer no insult that cannot be upheld in a duel to the death.

DETAILS.
Occupation: Bastard of Houses Velasquez and Moreno, Guardian to El Magito Ricardo (Rico) Moreno, heir to House Moreno
Former House: N/A, graduate of Nostri Magi in Rome
Wand: Yew and Gryffon Feather, 15 inches, inflexible crafted by an Italian wandmaker at wandpoint. After his first wand refused to take the life of a wizard who insulted him during a duel, he discarded it and demanded a wand of his own design be created. As most wands are created with love and care and choose their wizard based on their own personality, this wand - created solely for one wizard - is a powerful and proud wand that seeks only to prove its worth to Octavio in terrible combat.
Companion / Pet: Eneas, a Golden Eagle given to his cousin Rico for his 11th birthday, the bird immediately imprinted on Octavio and has chosen him as his companion ever since.
HISTORY.
General: Octavio Moreno was born 25 years ago, the bastard son of a sordid love affair between the charming Desiderio Velasquez, third son of El Magus Celestino Velasquez, and Feliciana Moreno, eldest child of El Magus Claudio Moreno. Due to ancient prejudice, Los Velasquez despised Los Moreno, viewing them as a lesser house and lesser people and viewing them on the same level as mudbloods. Los Moreno viewed Feliciana's 'concubining' of herself to one of the lofty Velasquez as equally shameful, and both houses exiled the couple from Spain. Seeking a better life for her child than the life they were doomed too far away from their noble birth, Feliciana left her son in the care of her brother Hector before departing with her lover.
Raised by Hector as a bastard of Los Moreno, Octavio, at the age of 6, became a devoted 'older brother' figure to Hector's only son Ricardo. Despite his horrible heritage, Octavio was taught by his stepmother Emilia to be a proper aristocrat, with perfect etiquette and a sense of pride in one's house. And yet still, Octavio was treated as the 'second class' child compared to his cousin, affectionately named Rico, who was treated as the prince and the heir to the throne. It was Octavio's duty to guard him, and to guide him, and it was because of this position as protector and closest friend that they decided to send him away to Nostri Magi at age 11 to train in the halls of the Vatican in the art of powerful magic and silent casting.
At age 19, six years ago, Firefox University was founded in the city of Drakborough - in all its history a city of foreigners in Spain - and the Headmaster, Talon Windwaltz, refused to give Las Familias their due. Incensed by such disrespect to his family, Octavio planned to return to Spain and make ready for war. His Uncle Hector warned him, however, of the existence of Dark Wizards known as the 'Society of Shadows', led by a foreign aristocrat by the name of Count Scorpius, who were threatening Spain. It was for the best that Octavio stay in Rome with Rico, now at Nostri Magi himself, to keep him safe.
It has now been a year since Rico graduated from Nostri Magi. The political tensions in Spain have only gotten worse - Triangle Tunnel is gone, the foreigners had attempted to create a foreign ministry within old ancestral Spain without any connection to the ancient ruling families of Las Familias, and to top it all off, Drakborough was now the major city in Spain, with Firefox University and all its English-speaking wizards and witches ruling loftily over it.
With Rico by his side, it was now time for Octavio to return, and to restore Spain to its former status as the land of the ancient and powerful Familias.
