Appearance: An imposing man, Octavian could be called handsome if not for his constantly haggard appearance and his inability to wipe his frown off his face. The man has probably never wore muggle clothing in his entire life, and his style is very severe and almost priestly.
Short Bio: Born as the eldest son in a family that establishes succession by matrilineality, and strives for excellence in all areas, has not made Octav's life an easy one. His childhood before Durmstrang had been rather miserable. His mother despised him for having not been born a girl, and had therefore left all upbringing to his father, a docile, calm, little man, with not much fortune or intelligence, having married into the family merely for having Veela blood.
When his sister was born, he was pretty much left to fend for himself, but still heavily reprimanded were he to do anything to bring shame to the family name. Starting education at Durmstrang was to be a true blessing for Octav, or so he thought. Contrary to his beliefs, his family control over him continued at the Institute, unobstructed. He was to make it into the Oberteil strata and maintain his position there or he might as well not return home for the holidays.
So for six long years, year after year becoming more bitter and reclusive, Octavian studied with a fevered passion, never once straying for more social activities or teenage pastimes. He'd taken a shine to defensive and offensive spells, and not surprisingly for a Báthory, the Dark Arts as well. He graduated amongst the top of his year and found himself reluctant to return home. While his parents focus was entirely on Timeea, he still despised his own family so he sought an apprenticeship with a master duelist.
At thirty he returned to Durmstrang to teach, hoping to finally be able to connect at least with his youngest sister, seeing as with Timeea he had failed completely. By the time he started teaching, he was a cold, ruthless man with no sympathy for the weak, relentlessly pushing his students to their limits and even beyond. He's a man of few words, not interested much in social interaction, with a highly volatile temper and a zero tolerance policy for slacking, disobedience and failure.
