Thoughts or involvement on an event from the Timeline: The 2008-2011 marriage law, which prevented Purebloods from marrying non-purebloods, was possibly the best legislation to be passed in the last decades. It is unfortunate that it lasted so briefly.
Thoughts on Blood Purism: Purebloods are superior to half-bloods, half-bloods are superior to Muggleborns, and wizardkind is superior to Muggles. It is the natural order - there is no point in questioning it.
Thoughts on Scotland's Independence: This division of the country has rendered both Scotland and England weaker.
Family:
Lucrecia Thorne, née Nott | wife | deceased
Leonard Thorne | son, former heir | born 1998
Maeve Thorne | daughter, current heir | born 2008
Roleplay Example:
The variety of activities Alaric had partaken in during the sixty years of his life could have filled the biographies of two people. Dueling tournaments, war, imprisonment, exile, multiple career changes - with participation in clandestine causes craftily woven in, remaining concealed from public awareness. Despite creating such an extensive list to represent his being, he had never expected to become a mentor.
Until recently, his contributions to the future of the Pureblood kind were chiefly achieved through murder, torture, and the use of mind-altering magic. Now, however, he was imparting knowledge and vital skills to the new generation. Or, more accurately, to a carefully selected handful of youths who showed promise. Octavian was nearing the completion of his Legilimency training and required little aid in other fields. Maeve was showing promise in Legilimency, and exceeding all expectations in dueling. Her focus was currently centered on Dark Arts and wandless magic, although the latter she was learning without his assistance. And today, another pupil would join the flock.
Alaric had never met Julian Mulciber, but the family name was familiar; his former classmate and long-time friend was a Mulciber. It did not surprise him to learn that Julian was a direct descendant - Pollux had been the only remaining branch of that ancient family tree, after Castor perished in service to the Dark Lord. Alaric might have turned down Maeve's request to train the boy in Legilimency, despite her earnest praise and willingness to vouch for him, had it not been for that family name.
It was early morning, just past dawn. One of his new house-elves appeared in the room, the high-pitched voice trembling as the creature informed him of his guests' arrival. Maeve would have Apparated Julian from his home in Alnwick to the Faust residence in Aberdeenshire, with at least two leaps - the distance was too long for someone so young to cover in one go safely, especially while taking another person along. The German-style manor had numerous protective enchantments cast around its perimeter, preventing direct Apparition into the house; the two youngsters would need to cover the remaining hundred or so meters on foot. Alaric descended the stairs from his study just as the redhead led the newcomer into the vast entrance hall. "Welcome," he greeted the pair, his eyes quickly scanning the Mulciber boy's visage and statue. He could see some hints of Pollux there, but they were heavily dominated by unfamiliar features.
As he approached the two teenagers, his gaze shifted to Maeve, who was industriously avoiding eye contact by looking just past his shoulder. There was something she didn't want him to know, more so than usual. From her point of view, his ability to dive into her mind was terrifying - especially given the number of secrets she kept. He found out about her intention to initiate a particular study group before the current school term even started, and during the winter break he learned of the Mulciber girl's accident. Chances were that whatever the redhead was trying to conceal also had to do with it - and she would be putting ardent effort into not thinking of it. He stopped a few paces in front of his guests. "I hope your extracurricular activities are going well?"
He cast the spell just as the girl inhaled with a mild hint of annoyance, her thoughts involuntarily flashing to the subject he addressed. He saw the scene at the hospital, the Healer cornering the two youths with an offer and a threat. The group was now controlled by a duo of adults, the influence and power of its original founders reduced - along with the possible blame. Alaric sensed Maeve's relief, but the feeling was mixed with irritation. She could not make peace with being discovered this way. Her tension made it difficult to see much more than that, but it was enough. Rafe Lauren and Roxanne Kearn, breaking the Headmistress' trust by teaching forbidden magics to students... interesting. "I see. It was the best possible outcome. Tilly is waiting for you in the library - you can begin your practice without waiting for me."
"Yes, sir," was the only answer the girl offered before removing herself from the area. Alaric's gaze returned to Julian, taking in the boy's reaction to the scene that had just unfolded. It must have seemed intimidating, to watch his friend's thoughts being pulled out of her mind in a flash. If he was apt enough, he would also have registered it as the very first lesson in Legilimency.
"Well met, Julian. I was glad to learn that your young cousin has fully recovered." Had the girl perished, it would have been a grievous loss for the constantly depleting Pureblood ranks - not to mention a devastating tragedy for her parents, and a highly incriminating offense to all those who were involved. "I expect your grandfather is likewise in good health?"
