QIFREY

Reason for amnesia: He was experimented on as a kid then buried alive with his memory completely erased

He was a subject of magic experimentation as a kid, his memory was repeatedly erased during that time before the brimhats ultimately buried him alive and freshly missing an eye (and memory again)

Do they get their memory back?: No, only a couple bits recovered due to finding almost-completely-destroyed notes.

no, only a couple bits n pieces due to finding scraps of notes on what was done to him

“Fun” facts: He hates water due to almost drowning when the coffin he was buried in started leaking in the rain, so he decided to learn as many water-based spells as possible. he loves his life - living in the countryside, teaching and raising 4 kids with his best friend/live-in-situationship - and wants to keep it as long as possible, so he has to keep part of himself constantly occupied with revenge on the ones who experimented on him and stole his eye. he keeps doing shady af stuff like "secretly investigating forbidden magic" or "erasing fragments of other people's memory so they can't inform the cops" because due to the experiments he will literally die if he's too happy/relaxed and the obsession with revenge + stress from secrecy and lying is all that's keeping him alive.

morally gray mentor figure. needs to be miserable and stressed out to live because he will turn into a tree if he feels too safe/happy/comfortable. decided that the best way to do that is to take in a couple witch apprentices then found out he genuinely loves and is good at teaching. whoops need a different source of stress to live so secrecy and lies it is: qifeey told his best friend/housemate he's gonna stop hunting the brimhats who experimented on him, then continued to chase after them but this time alone. he has a couple different memory erasure spells on him at all times - one short term in case olruggio (the best friend) starts to suspect him and/or wants to help (this one is consensual and was olruggio's idea when they were teenagers, not that olly remembers it), another spell for complete memory erasure for himself in case he turns into a tree again
