HISTORY;
The Rosier family is perhaps not quite as storied as the Malfoys or the Blacks--their lineage cannot be traced quite as far as most other pureblood famillies--but for what they lack in story they make up for in charisma. They have to; they are a family of ruthless businessmen, and Evan is nothing if not a man of his family. Unlike many pureblood sons and daughters, he loves his mother and father dearly and would do almost anything for them. They, in turn, would--and have--gone to great lengths to keep their precious only son safe. At first it was simply beating up other students or tormenting animals, but when he was 14, he tortured a girl so badly she had to leave Hogwarts entirely and stay at St Mungos. The girl, fortunately, was so damaged that she could not quite accuse him, but Evan was well aware how close he had come to losing everything. Evan had several later episodes as a Hogwarts prefect and, later, Head Boy. He often managed to intimidate his victims into silence with his authority, and, when that did not work, his tastes have required people to be confounded or discredited, memories modified, or young girls and their families to be paid off such that the Rosier reputation and Evan himself were never truly brought into question. It was his mother who, at the age of 16, pulled him aside and encouraged him to, as she put it, clean up after himself. He has, naturally, taken her advice to heart.
PERSONALITY;
Evan is, to most of the Wizarding world, the ideal Pureblood son. He is dapper, charming, clever enough, and embraces family and his responsibilities as a Pureblood whole-heartedly.
To those who know him better, he is a sociopath and a sadist who delights in torture, murder, and worse. Even if something winds him up and sets off his incredible and terrifying temper, he takes his solace and calm from the violent acts themselves. Those acts, however, do tend to be less well planned out, and require perhaps a bit more cover-up.
Perversely, Evan enjoys his crimes in a Muggle way. He has a set of knives and even owns several guns, all antique and well-maintained pistols. That way, when the Aurors look for traces of magic or check his wand, there will be no incriminating evidence to betray him.
MENTAL;
Evan is smart when it comes to people, and can be superbly manipulative, but he is a deeply brittle person. If something sets him off, he can snap into a towering temper, and very little besides outright violence can really exorcise it.
PHYSICAL;
Evan is a creature born of luxury and pampered comfort. While he can endure a bit of pain in the name of his darker desires, any serious injury will stop him in his tracks and subdue him readily. Most of his success with his victims is a success born of surprise and planning, not physical prowess.
MAGICAL;
Evan was largely average at school, mostly as he lacks a fundamental caring for learning. He has inherited his father’s knack for fast-talking and the business to match it; why should he bother in school? He is adept enough with his wand, but would most likely lose a one-on-one duel with an Auror. For the most part, he is smart enough to avoid getting into situations that would require such a duel. He does have, however, a bit of a knack for Obiviation and other mind-affecting charms, most often to his victim’s detriment. He is rather more likely to run off and hide and try to surprise someone with an attack than go after them outright, even when infuriated. He is not afraid to use magical artifacts that have passed through the Rosier business to augment and enhance his powers.
POLITICAL;
Evan doesn’t give a damn about politics. Evan enjoys the hunt, the chase, and the kill. Voldemort provides fodder aplenty. It also doesn’t hurt that being a Death Eater helps him associate with more prestigious pureblood families such as the Blacks, the Malfoys, and Mulcibers.
In their own words, how would your character describe themselves?:
Me? Well, I suppose I’m a businessman. Expanding the family business is my main goal. Of course, what people do with cursed artifacts is none of my business. I’m a salesman. In fact, I saw an artifact just last week that I almost want to buy from our stock for my personal collection--it’s a sphere which, when flung, binds the target with metal bands. It’s not incarcerous, though--that’s the beauty, the shield charm won’t defend against it. Beautiful little thing, small as a Snitch and twice as interesting. I’ll give a lovely girl like you a demonstration, if you’d like to see it in action.

Write a sample post:
*The mudblood girl being tormented by the masked Death Eaters is screaming, and Evan is smiling.*
Let me have a go.
*One--Mulciber, he thinks, though it’s hard to tell who’s who and he doesn’t much care at the moment--cocks his head and steps out of the way. They stand in a semicircle, and Evan is ready to put on the show. Evan removes his mask, pushing to the top of his head.
The girl’s eyes widen, and then she presses them shut.
“I didn’t see you--I didn’t see anyone--I didn’t see anything--” she pants.
He shushes her.*
Shh, it’s all right. It’s all right. Look at me.
*She wriggles more, shaking her head and sobbing. He catches her chin, gently, between his thumb and forefinger.*
Go on. It’s all right. Look at me.
*He leans closer. She is still squirming and crying. And something silently clicks over in Evan’s mind--he seizes her by the throat and squeezes, demanding:*
LOOK AT ME.
