Physical Description

Elrich always hated how much he fit into the German stereotype. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, and the posture of a soldier. He was slightly above average height and in decent shape for a boy of his young age, so it wasn't all bad, though.

Childhood

Born to Elrich Schulz III and Muriel Gordon, Elrich IV was born in Munich, Germany, but his family moved to Manchester, England almost immediately after.

Elrich lived a rather isolated childhood; he was home schooled by a family friend and had little interaction with people his own age. Both of his parents had busy professional lives, so he relied on books for mental stimulation. This did not stop them from influencing his personality, however, as they both made it clear that they expected nothing but the best academically from him.

This isolation left him unaccustomed to social situations, so he often comes as cold and indifferent towards others. This in turn made it even harder for him to connect with other children his own age. What he lacked in social skills, he made up for in intellectualism beyond his years, however. While he takes pride in this, he also has a deep-seated sense of loneliness (though he would never admit it to anybody). It also lead to him having a deep seated hatred for his father, who always made him feel unwanted and inferior, as nothing Elrich did was ever good enough for him.

The pressure from his parents caused him to adopt a determined outlook on life; whatever the task, he would search for a solution. Long hours reading and studying to solve a question posed to him never phased him, as he had little else to do.

Being a pure-blooded wizard, Elrich knew that at the age of eleven he would get a letter to attend Hogwarts. What he did not expect was what exactly would transpire once he got there.
