▪ Personality:

Christian Eisen was transferred to Hogwarts from Durmstrang in his fifth year. He is kind, caring and empathetic, but he can also be pretty tough and calculating if the situation demands it. Christian isn't a hot-headed person, he's very cautious and always thinks before acting. Thanks to his mother, who was always a pretty headstrong and independent woman, Christian grew up open-minded and free of prejudices and stereotypes, so he's okay with many things stigmatized by society, and he doesn't even always understand what's wrong with those things. Even the Dark Arts he was calm about until his brother became obsessed with them - his ruined life made him reconsider his views on some things. He always wanted to live in peace and without worries, so the role of “hero” imposed on him by his special abilities is not something he’s comfortable with, although he’s doing fine with it.

▪ Relationships:

• Partner: Sebastian Sallow

Despite all the problems Sebastian brought into his life during his fifth year, Christian saw him as a ray of light in his life when it was a very dark and dismal place. He became his first love, someone who helped him define himself and discover sides of himself he never knew he had. They complement each other like yin and yang - Christian's calmness and rationality balances Sebastian's temper and impulsiveness, and that's why their relationship was able to survive the turning point and grow stronger. On the background of Sebastian's attraction to the Dark Arts and all that goes with it, they had many conflicts, but Christian didn't leave him because of it and doesn't plan to, on the contrary - he will do everything to protect his now closest and beloved person from this harmful thing.

• Friends and others:

• Poppy Sweeting

After their adventures together, which Poppy often dragged him into during their fifth year, they have become close friends, always willing to be there for each other. Christian finds her to be a good, caring and sincere person, so he feels comfortable with her and was happy to be her first human friend at school.

• Natsai Onai

She was the first person to help Christian settle into Hogwarts and later became a loyal friend he could rely on. He was impressed when Natty protected him from the Cruciatus Curse during a fight with Theophilus Harlow, covering him with herself. He's forever grateful to her for that and after that incident he respects her even more and considers her one of his closest friends.

• Beatrix Kaltenberg

Christian met her in the Hog's Head Inn in his fifth year and was delighted to have met his compatriot - even so eccentric and crazy. Beatrix turned out to be his Gryffindor classmate, whom he hadn't seen at school before, but he was more shocked to learn that his new friend belonged to the Kaltenbergs, a notorious aristocratic wizarding family in Germany. But she had no warm feelings for her family either. As Beatrix became close to Christian, she told him that she believed her parents had done something to her brother, who had disappeared without a trace after barely graduating from Hogwarts. He began to help her investigate the matter.

• Garreth Weasley

His cheerful good mate, who can cheer him up on gloomy days. But Christian still tries not to cross paths with him too often, lest he get involved in another doubtful idea with unpredictable consequences.

• Ominis Gaunt

Their relationship was unstable from the moment they met, and even their similar views on the Dark Arts couldn't make them friends. They didn't understand each other - Ominis didn't understand Christian because he (albeit reluctantly) indulged Sebastian's questionable ideas, and Christian didn't understand Ominis because he criticised Sebastian's ideas but offered nothing to replace them. Any chance of a good relationship between them was completely ruined by the events at the end of the fifth year - Christian was absolutely against turning Sebastian in, and the fact that the person who called himself Sebastian's best friend would even consider it was tantamount to betrayal to him, so after that they hardly ever spoke to each other.

▪ Backstory:

Christian was born in Germany in late 1874 to Manfred and Elisabeth Eisen. His family wasn't a famous family of wizards, but it was the best family he could've wished for. His parents loved each other and their children, Christian and his older brother Wilhelm. They lived a quiet and peaceful life, but only until a certain moment. The moment when it became clear that something was wrong with Wilhelm's magic.

Wilhelm's magic was weak. Every time he tried to cast a spell, it either ended in nothing or in something completely unpredictable. At first, the parents thought that his magic was just developing in a different way and there was nothing to worry about. But when it came time for school, nothing had changed. Even Christian, who was three years younger, was much more capable, as if the magic meant for the two of them had gone to him alone. Seeing how proud the parents were of his brother, and feeling that they loved him more (probably because Christian was born a normal wizard, unlike him) Wilhelm became jealous of him and grew more and more distant. Since he wasn't a Squib, and there was still the possibility of a sudden burst of magic, sending him to a Muggle school was out of the question, but a wizarding school could help him develop the abilities a father thought he had. So, with the help of his old friend who was the headmaster of the school, he got his older son into Durmstrang. But contrary to his expectations, things only got worse - his classmates began to taunt and bully the weak wizard, who for the same reason was unable to resist them.

When Christian entered the school, things became absolutely terrible for Wilhelm - now absolutely everyone around him compared him to his younger brother. The school immediately saw the potential in the talented and overly capable young wizard, and Wilhelm's life became many times worse than it already was. Eventually he got tired of living like that and started looking for a way to increase his magic, to make it, if not powerful, then at least normal - like everyone else's. And eventually he did. Wilhelm just came home for the holidays, smiling happily for the first time in a long time, and cast a few basic spells in front of his family. His only explanation was that the school had helped him, and his family were too happy for him to suspect anything wrong. Only one person in the family was curious about such an unusual situation - Christian. He realised that nothing happens for nothing, especially a sudden increase in magical abilities literally out of nothing, so he started trying to find out from his brother how he managed to achieve it, which only annoyed him. But Christian wasn't the only one who annoyed him - after a while, he became annoyed with everyone and everything around him. But the nature of his irritation was different from what he used to unleash on his family in moments of despair, blaming them for the fact that their magic was fine and his wasn't, and for the fact that he had been born a mistake of nature. Christian had always been good at logic, and he guessed what was wrong, but hoped to the last that he was wrong. He was disappointed, but not surprised, to discover that his brother had many books on the Dark Arts, some of which were banned even at Durmstrang. But one of them, the oldest and darkest even to the touch, was lying aside, and it was the one that contained the solution to his brother's problem. An ancient and dark ritual, the details of which he never learned for at that moment his brother returned, furious to discover that his secret had been revealed. Christian tried to convince him that turning to the Dark Arts, whatever the reason, is a bad idea, but Wilhelm got even angrier and declared that he hated him, their parents, and all wizards because they, unlike him, had powers by birthright, and he had to pay for them. He snatched the book out of his brother's hands and ran away, and they didn't speak again until the Christmas holidays, when they both returned home.

Wilhelm came home already changed. The parents couldn't understand what had happened to their son, and he was in no hurry to explain, nor did Christian tell them that Wilhelm had turned to dark magic. Firstly, he didn't want to upset them, and secondly, he feared the consequences of such a decision, which, knowing Wilhelm's temper, would be unpredictable, perhaps even terrible.

But one day, on Christian's birthday, Wilhelm, who had lost his magic power again, decided to perform a ritual to get it back right in their house. Christian caught him almost at the end, but his arrival prevented the ritual from being completed, which made Wilhelm furious and gave rise to a new terrible idea in his head. He decided to take some of his brother's power, which he had been convinced for many years belonged to him, and later his own, so that Christian would feel himself in his place and realise what it had been like for him all these years. Wilhelm didn't plan to take his brother's life, because in his opinion a life without magic was worse than death. While he was trying to "connect" Christian to the same "source" of magic that had given him his powers, their mother ran to the noise. Elisabeth, as if she already knew what was going on, used a spell to push Wilhelm away from Christian and prevent him from leaving the same dark mark on her youngest son's face as he had on his own. She wanted to try and reason with her son, but there wasn't time - Wilhelm's rage descended on her in the form of a huge, unknown blob of dark energy that did terrible things to her - it was as if Wilhelm was releasing all the anger and hatred that had been building up inside him for years at once. With his father, who had also contributed to the destruction of his life, he decided to do something different when he came running to his wife's screams - he cast an Imperius curse on Manfred to kill Elisabeth and Christian by his father's hands. But despite all the rituals, the last of which had been interrupted, his magic was still wrong. Instead of killing his wife and youngest son, Manfred killed Wilhelm himself with a Killing Curse.

That day was the point of no return for this family. Every night after that, Christian had nightmares of his mother's painful screams in various terrifying tones, his father's gaze full of horror, anger and other indefinable mixed emotions, his brother's dead body with madness frozen forever on his face, and then his mother's eyes again, but now completely empty, like a living corpse. Cassiel Wood, an Auror from London who had once been Elisabeth's classmate, best friend and colleague, helped settle Manfred's case by proving that he had committed the murder under the influence of the Imperius Curse, as evidenced by Wilhelm's wand, and took Elisabeth to St. Mungo's Hospital. Manfred was not relieved that he had been found not guilty, for he had killed Wilhelm of his own free will, and could have avoided it if he had paid attention to his eldest son's oddities earlier. Now he had no eldest son, his wife was in critical condition, he had the blood of his own son on his hands, and his other son was completely devastated by what had happened and couldn't even speak to him. Yet he tried to look after his now only son, who was stunned and didn't even know what to feel, how to feel about his father and the death of his brother, who had no way back anyway. It seemed that things couldn't get any worse, but then a letter arrived from Cassiel revealing that Elisabeth's mind was irreversibly damaged and she would never be the same. That very night, Manfred took his own life.

Finding his father's lifeless body, Christian tried his best to save him, using all the healing spells his father had taught him, but it was too late. Realizing for the first time in all that time that he no longer had a brother and a father, and that his mother, who was the closest person in the world to him, wouldn't even be able to say a word to him, Christian went through a mental breakdown during which something strange happened. A wave of strange, unusually strong and uncontrollable magic erupted from him, destroying his previously cosy and bright house and even his wand. Christian miraculously survived the mad burst of magic, which ended as quickly as it had begun, but left behind a ruin that now resembled his own life.

In the end, it was Cassiel who decided to take Christian under his guardianship. Although he had some relatives on his father's side in Germany, he couldn't continue his education at Durmstrang - Cassiel told him so. When he looked into the matter of Wilhelm, he found out that he was directly involved in the regular and unexplained disappearances of students, which started just at the time when he managed to "fix" his magic, and it was these students who bullied him. Unable to find any other solution, Cassiel took Christian to the suburbs of London, set him up in his home and helped him as best he could with the pain of losing his family. Christian took his tragedy very hard and stopped thinking about the future, school or magic. He didn't even buy a new wand to replace the broken old one, and after that strange incident he was generally wary of practicing magic, thinking that Wilhelm had managed to do something to his magic after all, and that it was now just as dangerous as his brother's. But one day, a certain professor from Hogwarts appeared on the doorstep of his new home, having somehow heard about him and the strange incident that had destroyed his house in Germany. The professor took an interest in him and offered to transfer him to Hogwarts, and Christian agreed, as he had agreed to almost everything lately, simply because he didn't care. But the lessons and training with Professor Fig miraculously awakened the rest of his will to live, and by the time he arrived at Hogwarts, he felt almost fine. Only one thing bothered him - it turned out that Wilhelm wasn't cursing him, but he himself was connected to some ancient magic that a certain goblin was trying to subdue, and he had to stop him from getting control of it and saving everyone. Christian didn't like this turn of events - he didn't want to use that damn magic, and he didn't want to take on the role of hero either, but he had no choice. In fact, it was an advantage - trying to unlock the secrets of ancient magic helped him to distract himself from the pain of losing his family. And at Hogwarts he felt at home for the first time, even if being sorted into Slytherin House came as a bit of a surprise. Unlike Durmstrang, where he never felt he belonged, he quickly made friends at Hogwarts and settled in - at least he wasn't forced to learn the Dark Arts, which he now hated with all his heart. Ironically, however, he became very close to one of his classmates, who saw dark magic as the solution to all his problems and was too stubborn to be easily influenced by Christian's powers of persuasion. He tried to get Christian into it, while Christian tried to get him out of it. So the problems in his life have only increased, but he still hopes that one day he will be able to live a peaceful life, even though there is nothing to suggest it.

▪  Facts:

• Isidora Morganach's experience briefly planted the idea in Christian's mind of using ancient magic to cure his mother. However, after learning what eventually happened to Isidora's father, he no longer considered this magic a good way to heal anyone.

• He blames himself for his father's death, believing that if he hadn't distanced himself from him after what happened, things might have been different.

• He doesn't approve of Sebastian's ideas about curing his sister of the curse. However, he respects Sebastian for not giving up and trying to do something when his father, who was almost the most powerful Healer in Germany, gave up as soon as he was told that his wife couldn't be cured. This is one of the main reasons why he helps Sebastian even in his most doubtful schemes.

• Christian was pleased with himself as a child. Although he behaved modestly, he was fascinated by the fact that he was more skilled in magic than his peers. He liked the attention, he liked being noticed. He sympathized with his almost magic-deprived brother, but he didn't feel guilty about it, even though he had become a little uncomfortable showing off his abilities since entering school. After everything that happened, his attitude towards his own magic changed dramatically, and now he tries to keep a low profile, which can be difficult in the role of "Hero of Hogwarts".

• He hates hairdressing salons and avoids Madam Snelling like the plague.

• Christian never liked Durmstrang and his studies there. The atmosphere and the educational system of this school were too foreign to him. Even before he entered, he thought about Hogwarts, but his father decided that it would be better if he was closer to home and closer to his brother, whose life at school was far from easy. And that decision turned out to be one of his father's worst.

• One of the few "Slytherin" things about Christian is that he likes to look good. He has a refined taste and a rather large wardrobe full of stylish and elegant clothes, mostly in dark tones and his favorite colors. He has an outfit for almost every occasion, and if he doesn't have one, he's never too lazy to pick one up.

• Christian used to be very neutral about the Dark Arts, believing that they, like all magic, were just a tool to achieve goals that society chose to stigmatize for some reason. However, he did not study them himself and avoided them at Durmstrang, generally not seeking to achieve his goals through magic and not seeing these powers as something he needed. After tragic events in his life, he is radically opposed to the Dark Arts.

• After watching his smoking guardian for so long, Christian wanted to try that Muggle thing himself, and he suddenly liked it. Cassiel didn't approve, but he didn't feel entitled to pressure and educate his almost adult ward. Later, though, Christian began to smoke less, thanks to Sebastian, who didn't like the way he smelled and refused to kiss him after he smoked. «Like licking an ashtray», he said.

• In difficult moments of life he swears in his native language.

• He doesn't like abbreviations or nicknames for his name. The only person he could stand being called "Chrissy" by was his mother... and then Sebastian. Others shouldn't do that unless they want to piss off this very kind person.

• When he lived in Germany, he had a kneazle named Kasper that he loved very much. But during one of his holidays, he found him dead in the yard. The cause of his death was unclear to him, and only after all that had happened, he began to assume that his brother might have had something to do with it.

• His mother, who graduated from Hogwarts, was a Gryffindor, and Christian thought he would also be sorted into Gryffindor. But something went wrong...
