power is power

nate tuft is the only child of abigail and benjamin tuft, and grew up in southern masschusetts with plenty of time spent in new york city. the tufts are an old political family, originally from the uk and boasting two ministers of magic as well as one president of the magical congress of the united states, with other family members having held prestigious positions in the government as well.

tbh the tufts are kind of like the kennedy’s of the american wizarding world in terms of how well known and involved they are. this means that nate is used to the public eye and being under intense scrutiny, and knows how to appear to be what he needs to be to maintain his family’s image

in reality, nates a bit of a sociopath? he honestly doesnt care for anyone but himself and what he wants, which is ultimately power of his own and for his family. he’s petty, manipulative, scheming, and honestly just like ???? such a dick to people sometimes just because he can be. he likes to play games and see how far he can push and get away with it and get by unseen, and annoyingly enough, he’s fairly good at getting away with his hands clean, though sometimes his arrogance and pride do get the best of him and he’s involved in a bit of a scandal. luckily for nate, the public has a short memory, and all he has to do is wait for new drama to arrive, and take a moment to rehab his image, and it tends to work?

possible plots/connections:

friends/frenemies: lmao nate is so petty but he likes to judge so??? idk lmao idk i imagine like fratty douche brigade kind of?

pr relationship?: IDK honestly maybe they do get along but either way nate doesn’t truly care for anyone other than himself, but he’d at least appear to date someone if it meant garnering the right kind of attention and image
