goals:
At his age, Gallagher does not have too many goals left to accomplish. An ongoing goal is to prepare students for the world ahead and not sugar coat it too much. Another would be to find his son.

personality:
Gallagher is a sophisticated and well-manner man. Being a Ravenclaw during his Hogwarts Years suggest that he is very intelligent. The sorting hat had considered placing him into Gryffindor so this shows he exhibits courage and bravery as well. He is a trusting man but not a fool either. He will trust in you as long as you don’t ive him reason not to. Gallagher seems to have the ability to know when some is lying to him, not by the use of Legilimency, but by the way a person’s behaviors. Once Gallagher finds something to believe in he is loyal to the end. He his a people watcher. This has allowed him to pick up on a person actions and interpret them better than most.

However sophisticated and smart Gallagher does know how to have fun. Gallagher is a prankster. He loves to pull jokes on people to get a laugh and loves the occasional prank war. During his free moments Gallagher can be send reading, trying to find someone to play chess with him, catching the nearest Quidditch match or trying out new experiments.

Nevan feels that he must pass along his knowledge and wisdom of the world to those who have not yet had the chance to so. Not because he knows better but because he wishes for them not to make the same tragic and hurtful mistakes that he has done. He simply wishes to prepare them for what is outside the castle, because most have no clue. This is way he loves to teach as students will not know or understand at times what knowledge he is giving them, but them having it is better than not.

Nevan is a loyal and trusting man and the type of person one would want to have by their side in any situation. He has the ability to read a situation and position himself to always come out on top. He is also the type of man that will go all in for an ideal that he truly believes in. He loves to help those whenever and however he can. His big heart can sometimes get him into more trouble than good. He is what one would call an old soul, loving the finner and more traditional things in life.

With all the good qualities of Gallagher, he does have his faults. There are certain hot button issues that will set him off, like his family. He can be very opinionated and stubborn at times. The combination that can lead to Nevan control a person or a situation in which he feels is best, rather than taking others into account. He is also easy to forgive, which has on occasion landed him in some hot water as those try to take advantage of him.

He is a very intelligent many, having befriended Dumbledore many years ago he learned many of the things he knows today from that Great Wizard. He is extremely intelligent about certain aspects of magic that most Witches and Wizards seem not to find interesting. History of Magic is one of areas, along with wandlore and a bit of ancient magic. He is very good with a wand so do not let the old age and frail appearance fool you.


Gallagher has an old Celtic Sliver Tri-know ring that he wears on his right {wand} hand. The ring was given to him by his father. The ring acts like a Sneakoscope in that the ring will become warm against the flesh when it detects someone untrustworthy. The process is not perfect and does not take events or individual cases into account. Sadly, this can cause Nevan to pass judgement upon people before he really gets to know them.

appearance:
Being an older man Gallagher has not a single hair on his head. This makes his head look rather small when compared to the rest of his body. He has a rather large and wide nose that adds quite a bit of volume to his face. He doesn’t require spectacles but likes to where them anyway. A rather tall man, Nevan stands around six foot three. To be such a tall man Gallagher is rather skinny, but don’t let that fool you for Gallagher is not a frail old man. His weight can fluctuate anywhere between 124 to 140 pounds. This of course depends upon the season and what types of meals the House Elves are preparing.

Spending most of his days in Ireland, where he was born, and the Scottish highlands, where he works, Gallagher has no color about him and is almost as white as a ghost. In fact, one student about two years back, did just that, mistook him for a Hogwarts ghost. The most notable feature about him his yellow eyes, a rare occurrence even in the magical world. The rumor has is that Gallagher is so good at catching students out of bed due to those cat like eyes that allow him to see the dark. This is simply not true of course, but he doesn’t tell the students that. Once again being rather old he does have several wrinkles most notably those within the coroners of his mouth and eyes. A small goatee does wonders for hiding those wrinkles around his mouth.


marks, scars, tattoos, etc:
Gallagher does not have too many distinguishing marks besides the minor scar here and there. A barley noticeable cut above his right eyebrow where the took a quaffle to head many years ago or nicks about his hands from several accidents in the kitchen and what not. Nothing much that would catch eye of those who might just pass by.

overall style:
Gallagher still wears his wedding ring and of course the Celtic ring of his family. He has never been much on flashy dress and can be seen wearing dark colored robes, usually black or dark blue. Nevan is one of those old fashioned wizards who does not take to wearing Muggle clothing unless the situation calls for it.

Many would assume, being bald and all, Nevan would take to wearing some sort of head garment, be it a wizarding hat or bowler, but he was into that sort of thing. Should never hide who you are, right? Nevan does walk with a slight limp which was the result of duel that did not end so well for Nevan, or the other wizard. The curse that had hit him in the leg left some permanent damage to his thigh muscle. It is only a slight limp and it doesn’t require him to walk with cane or anything, but he uses one anyway. He has found that it can give him the element of surprise because many see him as an easy target. With his wand however, stowed inside the cane, he has the advantage of already having his hand upon his wand.

history:
Since Gallagher is nearing the century mark, both of his parents are now dead. He never had any siblings and had only one child. Do to most of his aunts and uncles dying at a young age Gallagher only has a hand full of family members left. His father Laoghaire was a smart man who worked for the Ministry of Magic in the Magical Law Office. His mother Shannon worked at St. Mungo as a healer. Growing up under the influence of the two is where Gallagher got his sense of Wizard Community Service. Trying to better the Wizarding community was his parents goals and thus they became Gallagher’s. Laoghaire died around 1920 as results of Grindelwald regime while his mother died of nature causes in 1942.

Gallagher was born in Wicklow in 1881 in a small cottage located in the rolling hills of Ireland . Gallagher grew up knowing what he was to become and thus with the help of his parents his training began at a young age. By the age of ten Gallagher knew quite a bit about the Magical Law Enforcement Department and St. Mungos in which his parents worked. From the time that his mother had taught him to read Gallagher got his hands on every book he could. His thrust for knowledge was great and by the time he received his letter from Hogwats, he was very knowledgeable in the art of Magical Theory. Since he did not contain a wand yet all Gallagher could do was study Magical Theory, not practice it.

Gallagher went off to Howgarts as most of the children living on the British Isles. Having read and study for many years before attending Hogwarts Gallagher quickly launch himself as one of the greatest young minds of his age. Having a thirst for knowledge lead to him being sorted into Ravenclaw. The sorting hat had considered placing him into Gryffindor but Gallagher wanted to learn in order to prove himself. Gallagher had the pleasure of being classmates with Ablus Dumbledore. The two men, gifted in both magic and the knowledge of magic became instant friends. The young boys were inseparable during school as they were often found in library reading up on notable charms and spells. The two got into a some trouble as well by praticing magic in the hallways. The two did not know at the time, but it was to become a friendship that would survive the test of time. Having been taught by the best Witches and Wizards of the day Gallagher became pretty handy with a Wand. He went own to make Outstanding in all his classes.

Gallagher’s family had not been large on Wizarding Sports and upon arriving at Hogwarts he learned of Quidditch and feel in love with it. During his second year he joined his House Quidditch team and played the position of chaser until he left school in 1899.

When he left school he began working at Ollivanders as an apprentice wand maker. He work there for almost ten years before he change to work at the Ministry of Magic in the Magical Law Enforcement. Albus and Nevan grew apart during this time but still kept a correspondence from time to time.

In 1914 Gallagher married Savannah Wilder whom he grew up in school with. Gallagher had always liked the fellow Ravenclaw girl who was also from Ireland, but it was until they both began careers in the Magical Law Enforcement Department did a courtship begin. However, Savannah like Gallagher’s father meet the same fate at the hands of a wizard who enjoyed torturing Muggles. The two had been sent to arrest the man and a confutation erupted. Savannah died in 1920, the same year as Gallagher father. Gallagher blames himself for the death of his wife because binding curse fail to control the man, allowing him to get one last killing curse off.

After the death of Savannah, Gallagher was left with the responsibility of raising their son Corey alone. A task that he took with great pride, however, he soon became apparent that Corey was incapable of perform magic. Gallagher however, love him just the same, but the pressure of being squib became too much for Corey. When he reached the age of 17, he left the magical world for good, never to return. Gallagher was heart broken because he never knew what had happen to his son, he was not sure if it was foul play or if he just ran away, either way, Gallagher never saw Corey again.

Expecting that his son was dead, Gallagher knew nothing of how Corey was living in the Muggle world, he married and had a child by the name of Bartley. Corey never told his son or wife about his background and said that his parents had long since be dead. So Bartley grew up knowing nothing of the Magical world for he also did not have any magical ability. Bartley was a true Muggle. In 1932, when Corey left the Gallagher household, Nevan went into a bit of depression, quitting his job at the Ministry. His friendship with Albus started up again and he spent many a night down in Hogsmeade having drinks with his old friend. The following year Albus offered Nevan the chance to be the Charms Professor after the current one retired. Nevan gladly accepted. He had been at the school ever since.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:

Gallagher was pacing outside the tiny little cottage hidden in-between the rolling green hills in the countryside of Wicklow Ireland. He had grown up on this very patch of earth and loved it deeply. The cottage was close enough to the sea to fill the cool breeze and smell the salt. Pacing hard, he stepped on the sapling rose bush that his wife had planted only a few days ago. The young Gallagher’s face wrinkled a bit when he thought about how he would have to hear about that later. There was a soft chuckle from his left and Gallagher smiled.

“You know son,” said his father Laoghaire, “ I am not sure that she will care so much about the roses after this night is over.”

He looked into his father’s eyes, they where so much like his own, yellow and piercing. He was right; she would not care about that after the events of tonight had ran their course. It was at this point that he came to realize that he was far more nervous that he wanted to let on. Once again, looking at his father, Gallagher at once knew that his father had known this fact way before him. He took a deep breath, padded his father on the back and he withdrew his wand from his robes with the other. Out of the thin, chilly dusk air, two sitting chairs appeared out of nowhere.

“I need to sit,” he said motioning for his father to join him.

They both sat, but it was only a moment after they had settled in when a high pitch scream came form within white stone cottage. Immediately, Gallagher made to storm in there, but his father’s hand grasped him tightly around his lower arm. The look upon his fathers face told him that all was well. He had a moment’s hesitation, but finally he sat once more. He sat in pain over the next hour as more screams came form from his home. Just when he thought that he was not going to be able to take it anymore, the door moan ever so lightly as someone came forth form the cottage. There was a huge smile upon his mother’s face and he too began to smile. She beckon them to come in while he and his father followed her lead.

The elderly woman in the lime green robes was still tending to his wife. As the gentlemen paraded into the bedroom Nevan’s yellow eyes grew wide as he say his wife with her beautiful red hair and green eyes holding a baby. She smiled back at him. His father padded him on the back as Gallagher picked up the little bundle of cloth. She told him it was a boy.

“Hello Corey,” he said rather softly.
