Tezeusz Skamander

Szablon:Postać Tezeusz Skamander (ang. Teseus Scamander) — czarodziej czystej krwi lub półkrwi, który mieszkał w Wielkiej Brytanii w XX wieku. Był bratem słynnego magizoologa, Newtona Skamandera, a także szefem Biura Aurorów.

Walczył w czasie mugolskiej I Wojny Światowej. Po tym czasie zwany był "Bohaterem wojennym", co świadczy o tym, że jego dokonania podczas wojny były ponadprzeciętne.

Biografia

W 1926 roku Tezeusz korespondował z Perciwalem Gravesem, "prawą ręką" Przewodniczącej Magicznego Kongresu Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki (MACUSA), o aferze w Nowym Jorku.

W 1927 lub wcześniej zaręczył się z Letą Lestrange.

Theseus Scamander was born in England into the wizarding Scamander family sometime around 1888,^[1]and had at least one sibling, a younger brother, Newton,^[7] better known as "Newt". Despite his mother's hobby of breeding winged horses, Theseus evidently never shared his brother's interest in the field of Magizoology, and regarded caring of magical creatures as a fine way of passing the time, but did not take it seriously as a professional pursuit. This was an opinion he apparently had in common with his mother, seen as neither of them was very impressed with his younger brother's career. At some point, he bought or inherited a wand.

During his formative years, he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, having been Sortedinto Hufflepuff,^[6] where he excelled in his studies and proved himself an academically gifted student. Proficient in both the theoretical aspects of his lessons and savvy in regard to their practical application, he would finish his education earning at least five N.E.W.T.s, with top grades of either 'Outstanding' or 'Exceeds Expectations'.^[11]

Early CareerEdytuj

At some point after he finished his magical education, Theseus would join the British Ministry of Magic, and complete a stringent series of character and aptitude tests to become a fully-fledged applicant for individuals wishing to work at the Auror Office in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which he would eventually do after he successfully satisfied the requirements necessary to join their ranks by passing their notoriously demanding training programme.

First World WarEdytuj

As an official Dark Wizard catcher, he proved himself a gifted employee and was recognised as a powerful wizard, yet proved himself to be a man of principle who was not content with sitting idly by when catastrophe strikes, as shown by how he was counted among the "thousands" who defied the then Minister for Magic Archer Evermonde's emergency legislation that forbade the British wizarding community to get involved when the Muggle world entered a period marked by a massive, military conflict that became known as the First World War.^[12] Throughout the war, his participation in the wizarding effort of the war was, while not decisive, nevertheless a distinguished one, during which he presumably fought and defeated numerous magical enemies and won many victories in preventing additional loss of life, seen as he would return home a tried and tested veteran of war, and would be donned by many as a war hero.

Hunt for GrindelwaldEdytuj

A considerably hard-working and conscientious man, Theseus would continue to work for the Ministry following his return to Britain, and rose to become a very high-ranking and well-respected Auror indeed, to the point where, when a Dark Wizard by the name of Gellert Grindelwald became active in the Wizarding World and whose charismatic idealism had began to muster support for the cause of bringing about the annulment of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and subsequently earned him the discontent of both Theseus's own superiors as well as the International Confederation of Wizards, the celebrated "war hero" was assigned by the Ministry to leave for Europe to help capture him. A notable accomplishment, considering the whole department wanted the case, and excitedly wrote an owl to his brother and told him of his mission. At the time, he had no knowledge of his brother's whereabouts, but simply wished him well "wherever [he was]" on "whatever beastly quests [he was] undertaking!".^[13] While his efforts to "ferret out" the aspiring revolutionary ultimately proved unsuccessful,^[14] he was eventually promoted to the Head of the Auror Office.

As the For the Greater Good revolutionary endeavours of Grindelwald grew ever fiercer and the number of individuals who joined his cause began to increase steadily, with both Grindelwald and his supporters having began launching several devastating attacks across Europe, aimed at exposing wizardkind, and provoke war with the Muggle world, any help Theseus could have provided in opposing him were most likely halted by people in authority such as MinisterHector Fawley, who did not take the threat Grindelwald and his legion of fanatics seriously, seen as he was still working nationally by the mid-1920s. In 1926, Theseus corresponded with the man whom he assumed to be Percival Graves, the Director of Magical Security of MACUSA, regarding recent events in New York,^[8][9] unaware that the man with whom he communicated was actually Gellert Grindelwald himself, in disguise. By 1927, Leta Lestrange, a friend of Newt's from their school years, had become his fiancée

Magiczne zdolności i umiejętności

• Magical Mastery: Theseus Scamander was described as "very powerful", and, as a Hogwarts student, he excelled in his studies enough to meet the qualifications for Auror training, becoming an Auror, and eventually getting promoted to the position of Head Auror. While Theseus alone was admittedly no match for the incredibly powerful Gellert Grindelwald, who was possibly the most powerful Dark Wizard to ever live, Department of Magical Law Enforcement Head Torquil Travers trusted the combined might of Theseus and the latter's subordinate Aurors with the task of bringing Grindelwald in after Albus Dumbledore refused to, with even Dumbledore seemingly believing that Theseus could survive a fight with Grindelwald if aided by his allies. Indeed, Theseus proved powerful and skilled enough to be able to survive such a fight, alongside Newt and Leta, and was moreover able to aid his brother, future sister-in-law, Yusuf, and Nicolas Flamel in saving Paris from Grindelwald's blue fire.
• Leadership skills: Theseus, as the Head Auror in the British Ministry of Magic, had exceptional leadership skills, with him very effectively commanding a team of no less than 50 Aurors at Grindelwald's rally, and even Albus Dumbledore seemed to respect the Auror's leadership, since he took the time to give the younger man some useful advice. Tragically, however, Theseus was unable to stop one of his Auror subordinates from using the Killing Curse at the rally.
• Auror skills: Theseus Scamander, as the Head Auror, was an exceptionally skilled Auror, more than likely completing the Concealment and Disguise, as well as the Stealth and Tracking portions of Auror trainingwith excellence. These skills greatly contributed to Theseus's outstanding performance during the First World War, and to him gaining the respected status of "war hero", to the point that Hector Podmore, Momolu Wotorson, Rudolph Spielman, Arnold Guzman and even the abrasive Torquil Traversrespected him, while Gellert Grindelwald kept up a correspondence with Theseus while posing as Percival Graves. During the Global Wizarding War, Theseus was trusted by the British Ministry of Magic with the mission to participate in the international wizardhunt for Gellert Grindelwald (which proved unsuccessful), and later with the international mission to help the French Ministry of Magic to track down the Obscurial Credence Barebone, with Theseus's Auror team ultimately succeeding at finding Credence in the Lestrange family Mausoleum. Theseus was also observant enough to quickly notice his brother Newt and American Auror Tina Goldsteininfiltrating the French Ministry, despite their efforts to be discreet.
• Duelling: As the Head Auror, Theseus was exceptionally skilled in martial magic, surviving magical involvement in the First World War and being considered a "war hero" for his efforts, and later actively participated in the Global Wizarding War against Gellert Grindelwald. Theseus was notably only overpowered by fellow Auror Tina Goldstein due to being caught off-guard by her, so he later greatly contributed to stopping Grindelwald's Paris rally, defeating many of Grindelwald's allies. Although Theseus was no match for the incredibly powerful Dark Wizard alone, while aided by the combined efforts of his brother Newt and girlfriend Leta as well as future sister-in-law Tina, he could still stand his ground against Grindelwald for a time.
• Defence Against the Dark Arts: As the Head Auror, Theseus likely received an Outstanding in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject^[11], as he was possibly taught this subject by Albus Dumbledore himself, making him highly accomplished in defending against the Dark Arts. Theseus's skills are evident in his victory in many duels against formidable dark wizards, such as Grindelwald's allies, and even surviving a brief duel against the incredibly powerful Grindelwald himself, alongside Newt and Leta, being able to hold off Grindelwald's extremely powerful blue flames long enough to be saved by Leta, and even pushing the flames back when Grindelwald was not focusing it on him (due to being distracted by Leta). Theseus also later aided Nicolas Flamel in casting the orange purifying fire to contain the violent blue flames.
• Charms: Theseus was apparently highly capable in Charms, since as an Auror, he likelly received at least an Exceeds Expectations in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject^[11]. He was particularly apt in the use of defensive spells and counter-dark magic spells, as shown by his ability cast a Shield Charm strong enough to protect himself for a prolonged period of time against Grindelwald's lethal blue fire while aided by Newt, by him fending off a wild, but unfocused burst of said blue flames after Grindelwald was distracted by Leta, and by Theseus later being able to quickly follow Nicolas Flamel's instructions on how to cast the orange purifying fire necessary to contain the lethal blue flames.
• Transfiguration: As an Auror, Theseus was skilled in Transfiguration, as he had to have received at least an Exceeds Expectations in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject^[11]. As such, Theseus was able to easily vanish the Admonitors on Dumbledore's wrists.
• Potioneer: As an Auror, Theseus was skilled in Potions, as he had to have received at least an Exceeds Expectations in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject^[11].
• Herbology: As an Auror, Theseus was skilled in Herbology, as he had to have received at least an Exceeds Expectations in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject^[11].
• Apparition: Theseus, like most adult wizards, could Apparate at will, but he seemed more skilled than most, with Theseus managing to dodge lethal tendrils of blue fire after Grindelwald had departed.
• Nonverbal magic: Theseus was very skilled at nonverbal magic, with him assisting his brother Newt, Nicolas Flamel, Tina Goldstein, and Yusuf Kama in containing and dissipating the lethally dangerous blue fire left behind by Grindelwald, all without uttering a word.
• Indomitable willpower: Theseus possessed immense willpower and bravery, being a respected hero of the First World War, and joining in on the subsequent Global Wizarding War as the Head Auror without hesitation. As such, despite recognising Gellert Grindelwald as a "charismatic blighter", and despite seeing horrifying visions of a future Second World War, Theseus's moral code was incorruptible, and therefore, he resisted Grindelwald's persuasive speech, and continued valiantly fighting to break up the rally.
