Character Biography:

Biography/History:
The Mobray family is well off, not stinking rich, but comfortable enough. Hunter Mowbray is a researcher in the Department of Mysteries. He has moved the family many times but his new assignment at the ministry is supposed to keep them in England for several years.Victoria Mobray is a professor at Oxford.
Hunter Mowbray met Duncan's mother ,Victoria LaFortuna, while they both attended Oxford. Their mutual curiousity brought out the best and the worst in them both as they were highly intelligent and highly competative. They may have never fell in love accept that they were put on a project together and had to stop competing or fail. As they worked together they began to develop feelings. He tried to keep the wizard world a secret from her but she was too smart and he couldn't hide every tell-tale sign. Eventually he told her all about the wizarding world and ask her to marry him.
They both loved to explore: moutain climbing, doing archeological digs etc. They involved there children as much as they could and family vacations were very different for the Mowbrays.
The family's travels helped define Duncan's personality. Since they moved a lot he never realy sought a girlfriend, but was quick to mkae freinds with the right girl or guy. His freindships were a mixed blessing to him because he would care deeply for his freinds and miss them terribly after the inevitable move.
The entire family is very musical, Duncan plays guitar and sings. They are also sudents of Ti Chi Chuan.
Duncan's siblings:
Kaitlyn, 10 years old. Extremely bright, more likely to be a ravenclaw because she investigates before jumping. She can be talked into making the leap. Much more serious than Duncan.
William, 9 years old. Also very bright but more stubborn and resolved. Likely to be a hufflepuff. The most serious of the lot.

Personality:
If you’d ask Duncan why cats have nine lives he’d tell you that curiosity already got the first eight, then he’d laugh. Not really funny but it gives a good look at his personality, definitely the ‘curiosity killed the cat’ type. Very smart and inquisitive ( investigative ? ), the problem is that if he is curious about it then he is MUCH more likely to leap before he looks. He has a couple of scars to prove that point.
Duncan has tremendous intellect, but he could be compared to a young Indiana Jones, the kind of guy that is smart but doesn’t want to justsit behind a desk. He would sit and research something, then go dig it up and hopefully there are no angry natives, hippogryffs or werewolves around. No, he is not as talented as Inidiana Jones, he has the same insatiable curiousity.
Duncan's best subject is DADA and worst is Divination because he thinks it's absurd and a waste of time.
He has very little patients with anybody that can't bother with using there brain. A Goyle or Crabbe would drive him nuts.
He would tell you that he would be the best friend, or perhaps the best enemy, that you ever had and he won't hesitate to speak his mind. This also gets him into trouble as he prefers honesty to subtlty and would tell any person EXACTLY what he think of them.
He can be very overconfident.

Additional Info:

All of his wizarding ancestors were Ravenclaws.
