History
At exactly three in the morning on New Years day, Nathaniel Merlin Hawke was born to Peregrine Hawke and Molly Ferris-Hawke in a small cabin by Baker Lake in Washington State. It was a quick birth, and his mother predicted that he would be an easy child-- and he was. His parents were Sasqulogists. Their cabin was located close to a family of Sasquatches. Nate’s first words were not in English, but they were in Sasqueech.
They lived a simple life, growing their own food and raising their own chickens. Like many wizarding children,he was homeschooled until he was old enough to go to a wizarding school. He attended Douglas Fir’s Academy of Sorcery until he graduated at the age of eighteen. He played on the school’s Quodpot Team (GO, ORCAS!). In the summers, he worked as a Sasqualogist’s assistant among his parents and their coworkers.
When he graduated from Douglas Fir’s, he met and fell in love with Jillian Radley (Archer Radley's cousin), a young witch from Piddlehinton. She was in the area, investigating and containing dragons that were affecting the local sasquatch population. It was infatuation at first sight. The two married on a whim, and the next thing he knew, he had moved to Piddlehinton, England to be with her.
The beginning of their marriage was rough. He missed his parents and the Sasquatches that he had bonded with. The infatuation faded, and slowly the two fell in love and managed to make it work. As Jilly was a werewolf, she had a difficult time carrying a child, and as a result there were many miscarriages. Eventually, they had a daughter-- Calliope. He got along well with the Radley family, and from them learned the art of brewing beer, which is now almost as fun a hobby as drinking it.
Jillian’s job was a dangerous one. In 2009, when Calliope was 3 years old, Jillian became an Opaleye’s snack-- a risk that many dragon handlers faced. Despite the safety practices put in place, very few handlers were left unscathed or unscarred. Nate became a widower, and was faced with raising his daughter alone while working a full time job.
When he moved to the UK, he apprenticed under a few different ministry lawyers to get his magical law education. As his wife was a werewolf, he developed an interest in werewolf issues. He worked as a lawyer in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures until January 2010, when he decided to open up his own practice. He is willing to take on any case in which he feels his client is being wronged, discriminated against, or oppressed in some way.
He has recently opened up his own law firm in Diagon Alley, just a bit too close to Knockturn Alley for the comfort of some of his clients. His daughter is nearly five years old, and is often in the care of his family members, though he frequently takes her into the office.
