On the surface, Dale is remarkably calm and sensible, born with the innate ability to be able to keep his cool in almost any situation (which sets him apart from the rest of his family). He has a tendency to try to take care of others, particularly his brothers and any close friends. Throughout his school years he preferred to stay in the background and largely kept to himself, and though now his confidence has grown and he is much more outspoken and sociable, he still appears for the most part to be somewhat quiet and unassuming. However, hose who get close to him may see a different side to Dale.

Dale has a way with words, a talent he picked up from his father. He is not afraid of wielding sarcasm, though recognises that there is a time and a place, and will often have a witty comeback or remark to hand, whether or not he chooses to actually say it. He often takes on the role of mediator, particularly in times of inevitable family friction, and has experience of calming some explosive tempers. He can usually find a way to talk his way into or out of something, if he really wants. This comes in very handy from time to time, as Dale is also very ambitious and always has a firm idea of what he's working towards, where large scale or small, though he is careful about who he decides to shares certain information with.

Dale was born on 2nd September 2062, in Manchester. Due to difficult circumstances, his mother died within hours of his birth, leaving Dale's father to raise him alone. Despite caring for an infant son on his own and having very few resources, Dale's father, working as a charismatic businessman, amassed a fair sum of money in a suspiciously short space of time. He would often bring Dale along to meetings, finding that making deals was much more successful when he had a cute kid with him.

By the time he was four, Dale's father had become rather wealthy and moved them both to a large house in the Hertfordshire countryside. Over the next few years, their family of two suddenly grew at an alarming rate, and soon Dale had a step-mother, older step-siblings, an older half-brother and, finally, two younger half-brothers. The sometimes bizarre circumstances that led to these additions seemed not to faze Dale at all.

Dale attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Hufflepuff, but was very close to becoming a Slytherin/Hufflepuff Hatstall. He was incredibly quiet at school, preferring to keep to himself and focus on his schoolwork, which he enjoyed. By the end of his fifth year he had developed a strong interest in anything related to law, and decided he would apply to university to study the subject. Three years at university did wonders for Dale's confidence, and he became much more sociable and outspoken. After graduating, he moved into a house in Cumbria with his older brother, Jake, and applied for a job at the Ministry of Magic.
