The Order of Merlin, First Class

I am Lord Wulfric Veneratio, author of Gracious Creatures of the Far Highlands, The hunt of the Erumpent and Irving, the gentle Dementor.

I was born in 1874 into a pureblood family. My schooling was spent mainly at Durmstrang. In my 5th schooling year a Norwegian Ridgeback broke free into the school grounds. After my schooling life I worked for the Norwegian Ministry of Magic and in 1920 left my post as the Head of the Department f Magical Law Enforcement. Although, I am not the greatest wizard, I do specialize in many high forms of charms and spells.

I became Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher under the direction of Armando Dippet in 1952. I subsequently retired in 1958. During my time I tried to achieve the Head of Ravenclaw, but never suceeded. In 1962 I became a member of the British Ministry of Magic. During the first Wizarding War I was kidnapped and subject to the Cruciatus Curse. My days at Durmstrang helped me maintain my sanity, however I have since lost much of my magical powers to the 2 years I was tortured.

Today I rely mainly on my knowledge and the honour of my ancient family name than powerful spells. I have not duelled since 1982. In 1994 I was accused of being a dementor after my wand (made of figs from a Wiggentree) was used to open a chest in the Department of Mysteries. I have been known to use Depulso on prisoners, and I was a primary book keeper for the Order of the Phoenix. I recently visit both Durmstrang and Hogwarts to give lectures on Dark Arts, Defence Against the Dark Arts, The History of the First and second wizarding wars and of course, charms. My personal library is equal in size to that of Hogwarts. I was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class when I invented the charm, Protego Totalum, which protects a small area.

I know reside as the Chairperson of The Order of Merlin.

MAGICAL QUALITIES

Magic Mastery: Wulfric Veneratio was once one of the most powerful wizards of the age, that of which to match Albus Dumbledore. He was a slow learner at first, and enjoyed History classes to Dark Arts classes at school. Veneratio holds one of the most extensive knowledge of spells.

Genius-level intellect: Veneratio is famous for his wide knowledge on all aspects of the wizarding and muggle world. He invented many of his own charms and potions, but as Clerk for the Order of the Phoenix, offered many suggestions to the force.

Wandless/Non-Verbal Magic Expert: Veneratio could once perform the most elaborate of spells with the flick of his wrist, but since his torture and subsequent loss of power, he now only performs wandless/non-verbal magic with charms and spells around the house, as he rarely uses combat spells anymore.
