Evolutionists are responsible for investigating the origins, application, and evolution of magic to the universe. While all advanced planning and administration is carried out at their individual work stations, employees are required to experiment and observe celestial movements of the cosmos and their influence on all magical living life and laws of magic in the Space Chamber. These Unspeakables also study the magical effects on the physical laws of the universe and examine space-time singularities. Evolutionists must be proficient with all forms of magical theory and experimental magic. An understanding of Cosmology, Physics and Astrophysics is preferred. A minimum O grade in NEWT level Charms and Astronomy, and an E grade in NEWT level Herbology is required. They must also have at least 3 other NEWT level subjects. History of Magic is preferred.

{ The History }
Born to a Wizard Norwegian father and Muggle English mother, Mikkel was raised in the beautiful Fjord village of Olden. His father Henrik was an Astronomer specialising in Planetary Science. His mother Eleanor, who moved to Norway after marrying Henrik in 2070, was a Botanist with particular interest in cold weather species. The couple met whilst Eleanor was studying a rare species only found in the fjords.
Mikkel is an only child and attended Muggle primary school in Norway before receiving his Hogwarts letter once he had turned eleven. As he held dual citizenship, it made sense to attend Hogwarts and the Highlands of Scotland felt vaguely familiar to the point that he was comfortable with being away from school. He was fairly quiet in school and mainly kept himself to himself and studied hard to achieve the necessary grades to attend university.
Upon graduation, Mikkel attended Wizarding University’s Reykjavik campus where he studied Astronomy, his favourite subject, further. His education continued into post-graduate education in Astrophysics where he left at the top of his class.
Mikkel didn’t enjoy having a large circle of friends and so when the opportunity to become a researcher at one of the most remote observatories in the world, he jumped at the opportunity. For the past ten years, Mikkel has been living in Longyearbyen on Svalbard in Norway, an archipelago in the Arctic circle where temperatures barely reach above 10 degrees Celsius but the skies are some of the most beautiful.
After a decade of remoteness and little social interaction with no progression, Mikkel decided to move to the UK where he holds dual citizenship to work at the ministry.
