Damien is the quick-minded and despite being so young, one of the most intuitive members of a runaway group operating out of Wicklow, Ireland. He has unkempt, but short brownish-red hair, amber-colored eyes, is nearly pale with a few freckles dashed about among his face and the underside of his chin, and due to not quite understanding the aspect of fashion, wears what rags his runaway comrades occasionally give him. The group commits robin hood-esque robberies to pay for (and smuggle) young wizards on their way to Hogwarts. All in Damien's life was going well enough for an 11 year old kid, he was just a normal kid, with normal friends and parents. Well, all was well up to the day that Damien accidentally sent his parents to the hospital in a random burst of uncontrollable magic, causing the entirety of their house to collapse. His parents feared him, called him the "Devil's Child", and left him on the streets to die. Until one day, when Damien found a note while trying to scavenge for food from a fast-food dumpster, "Meet me out on the pier by Black Castle, and i'll get you to safety." Clearly the note was not meant for him, but perhaps the thought of anything considered "safe" assuaged him to go to that pier at Black Castle. Damien waited three days until another kid, not more than seven years old showed up, "How 'bout we get you someplace warm?" he asked, and the life Damien was destined for began. For the next year, he would learn under the tutelage of former alumni of Hogwarts on the basics and how not to run in blind, while at the same time studying on which houses to rob, dodging authority, and many other important skills related to a life on the lam.
