His father is known to have fathered a bastard but Cad himself is legitimate
Residence: Wales

Wand: Aspen, 11", rigif, Unicorn
Blood Status: Pureblood
Social Class: Upper
Family:
“Zeus” | Father|
Cad wishes his father would pay more attention to him, he's the first born after all!

Ambrosia | Mother |
Likes her daughter more than her first born son! Seems unnatural for a woman to not dote on her oldest son in Cads opinion. 

“Hebe” | sister | 11-12
Annoying little sister - she's a girl so not much expected there. 

“Hephaestus” | brother | 10-11
Weird brother, the frequent butt of Cads jokes

“Aphrodite” | half-sister| 16-17
Cad likes to remind her she isn't legitimate and lives with them as an obligation, and she will one day rely on him for her living and dowry if she isn't married before their father dies.  He refers to her only as his natural sibling, and likes to remind others of the same. 

He doesnt count the others as his family- but he is now aware of their connection to the 'proper' family,

Appearance:
As handsome as his father, with strong features and what could generally be considered good looks - and he knows it. His bearing is cocky and self assured, meaning he walks very tall and his shoulders very square.  He is broad built through the shoulders, with strong muscle for his age in his upper arms  - he will be a man of imposing build in another year or two, and while 5,10 now he may end up at around 6,0 when he is finished growing.  He has dark brown hair, expressive dark eyes and a roguish charming smile.  He had inherited his fathers talent for charming looks.

As the eldest and heir Cad feels the need to ensure that he wears only the best clothing, very up to date and always imaccutaly laundered.  He insists on sending his clothing to a laundry elf in his parents home rather than relying on the schools elves to do the job correctly and to his standard.  It would be fair to say that he is vain.  He is right handed. 


History:
PRE Birth
Cads parents had been an arranged marriage and had never been ‘happy’ as far as he could see.  And the young boy thought that was how all marriages were – that a man would do his own thing, and the woman would accept whatever she was given.  As an oldest male – the idea suited him well enough. 

In 1874 Cad is born  - and while no meteor or falling star marked his birth – he rather thinks there should have been. 

When he was 3, he understands now that there was some kerfuffle with muggles who learned of the existence of magic.  Part of him wishes that the family had moved to Hogsmeade or magical London were it seems like all of the fashionable people moved, but instead they stayed in Wales.  Not that it really mattered – the house had floo so they were in London or Hogsmeade often enough. 

At age 4 he first displayed magic firing wooden blocks at his natural sisters head in the day nursery.  More children, natural and legitimate alike, follow and Cad pays them little notice.  Why on earth should he?  He does however, think it’s pretty amazing that his mother can turn into a peacock.  That’s a heck of a feat. 

In 1886 Cad goes off to school and is sorted into Gryffindor, he must admit it was a close call between Gryffindor and Slytherin according to the hat but his general impulsiveness is better suited to the red and gold house rather than the green and silver.  Besides he rather like the lion as his emblem. 

Cad progresses through school and while not academically inclined he is reasonably popular and athletic.  He goes out of his way to make his natural siblings lives miserable, constantly affirming their illegitimate status, picks on Hephaestus, and ignores his younger sister completely.
