Kronos Malvivicus

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Kronos Malvivicus is an eccentric criminal ringleader with expensive houses across the United Kingdom. His main base of operations is his enchanted castle on the Isle of Skye.

This 89-year old eccentric Wizard was born Neil Gordon Fergusson in the Scottish Highlands in 1920. He grew up desperately poor in a family of Catholic Muggle fishermen on the Helmsdale Harbor with his parents and eight siblings (mostly brothers). He was the youngest of the lot and the only Wizard among his living relatives, so his childhood was wrought with curious magical episodes for which he was consistently disciplined. He was by-and-large a disliked child because of this, and also due to his tendency to "act out" -- as his father might say -- like when he would dress in his sisters' clothing and prance round when he should have been doing chores (and there was always so much boring, laborious work to do). His family did not respond well at all to his being a "Wizard" in later life, not to mention the fact that he was openly gay even in his youth.

When Neil was introduced to his new life as a Wizard, it went straight to his head. He fantasized that he was inherently different and worlds better than anyone he had ever known as a poor Muggle's child, and felt that he was finally going to inherit a special place in the world. Throughout his time at the school (in Slytherin house), he was attracted to purist propaganda, the mysterious power of the dark arts, and the fame and notoriety of many great Wizards. When he graduated, he committed a string of murders -- including that of his entire family -- and virtually disappeared off the Ministry radar by destroying his former identity and taking on the alias Kronos Malvivicus.

Gradually he amassed a great fortune working on the Black Market in the 1940s. He has continued to lead a life uncommon and to constantly acquire new 'Kronies' who seem to take to him as if he were a magnet. Kronos now has many heavily guarded mansions all across the British Isles, his main base of operations being on the Isle of Skye in the Outer Hebrides. He is now a legendary but unidentified crime boss, thought to be operating in the UK, who is second on the Ministry of Magic's most wanted list.
