Personality: Chad is a glass half full kind of man. He believes in always being optimistic and if anything gets in his way, then he just becomes that much more determined to get it. He’s very outgoing, loves to meet new people, and absolutely loves having fun. Also, he tends to be very relaxed in any situation and isn’t afraid of a challenge. It usually takes a very epic occurrence in order to anger Chad in anyway. Lastly, he’s always got the time to accommodate others, no matter how full his schedule may be.
Background/History: Chad is the only son of a muggle mother and pureblood father. Both of his parents were born in England, but they moved to France for business reasons. Chad was born and raised in France. When he turned nine, they moved back to England and Chad had to learn English. They found that he, to this day still, has some trouble learning and speaking English, but isn’t too bad.
Despite his language handicap, Chad managed to get through Hogwarts with excellent grades, excelling in Care of Magical Creatures. He absolutely loved being around and working with animals.
After graduation, he went back to France and got a job with the French Ministry in their creatures department. He worked there for six years before moving back to England. He then moved back to England and worked in various pet shops for at least five years before he obtained another job at the England Ministry as a Liaison for, at that time, Minister Cooper. He held that position for seven years before being promoted by Minister Reagan Taylor to Department Head of Magical Creatures. For reasons unknown, he abandoned that job a few years later and went back to France.
It was only when he heard that Hogwarts needed a new Groundskeeper that he, once again, returned to England to take up the position.
Previous occupation summary: Creatures employee at the French Ministry, Liaison in English Ministry, Department Head for Care of Magical Creatures.
