Roberto lost his wife Ophelia in the Dragon Attacks back in September and has been out of the social scene due to full mourning. He started attending eligible events while in partial mourning but not very many. He has now been out of full mourning for a couple of months now though and is able to attend social events without restriction.
Typically, Roberto is a charming, adventurous and fun-loving person with an adoration for Quidditch. He is pretty sociable and friendly though his personality has been a little dampened by grief. He isn't crying at the parties or anything though and he keeps his emotions pretty restrained.
friends: likely other upper and middle class men, especially those in Quidditch circles. He is a member of Black's. He is not purist and would not be deeply friendly with people who are openly intensely purist. Otherwise, he tends to take part in the typical society men hobbies. His established friends are people like Aldous Crouch and Thom Pettigrew.
school mates: Roberto was a Slytherin from 1866-1873 and was a prefect and then head boy. He was also a Chaser for the Quidditch team from 1869-1873.
colleagues: He has been a sponsor for the Kenmare Kestrels since 1884 and does his best to maintain a friendly relationship with his fellow sponsors, albeit with friendly rivalry thrown in.
hurling: Roberto is a widow with a young son and thus is facing some pressure to remarry. Hurls should be 20+, UCAB though MCAB is not out of the question. He is very unlikely to entertain anyone staunchly purist as a potential wife or anyone overly scandalous.
I have no hurls and no UC gents, but he could know Jack Collins and/or Quin.
Jack is in his age range and totally gets the widower thing.
Ophelia once tried to help Quin get hitched, so they may know one another from that? He's pretty close in age too, come to think of it. Tbf you make up like 80% of Quin's friends so XD

My Quidditch people are Arthur Pettigrew - who does not like Thom, so likely a vaguely antagonistic relationship? - Cassius Lestrange, who is a chunk younger would be friendly.

Oh yes, let me just up that percentage even more bahahaha. Roberto would have no reason to dislike either. <3

Boringly enough, that would be entirely one-sided on Arthur's part. xD And woo Cash <3

Bumping and edited for his re-re-intro. Figured I'd edit instead of posting a whole new one. <3
RE: Re-introducing: Roberto - Henry Berkwood - November 20, 2024
Adam McKinnon was a year above him, in Ravenclaw, but they both played quidditch so they definitely crossed paths, and he's tangentially quidditch-connected in that his brother is a professional quidditch player, so he's sometimes around those circles!
