| Bio: | "After my head has been chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment, the sound of my own blood gushing from my neck? That would be the pleasure to end all pleasures." - Peter Kurten Name: Camden Edric Archer (Formally goes by Edric, socially he's got a variety of nicknames, including 'Cam' and 'The Butcher') Age/Birthday: 31//6 October 1972 Sexuality: Heterosexual Marital Status: Single Nationality/Birthplace: German//English; Bremen, Germany Current Location: Borough of Barnet, London, England Immediate Family: None. Years/Type of Schooling Completed: Nothing after the age of 14. Contacts with the Wizarding world: His Mum was murdered by DE's. Job Type: Soldier, fronts as a butcher (hence the nickname xD)  Brief History: Camden Edric Archer was born on October 6, 1972 in Bremen, Germany, the result of a short, adulterous affair. His mother Judith Archer worked as a nurse in London, and his father, Lars, had come in seeking treatment for food poisoning and subsequently charmed the young woman, who was truly innocent to the cruel ways of the world, and never imagined that she could be used the way she was. And sadly, she soon found herself falling for this man even though she knew he would be leaving her in two weeks. Weeks after their brief affair ended, Judith learned that she was pregnant. Months went by with no response to any of the letters she'd written or to any of the calls she'd placed, and so she packed a few things and went to Germany to find out why. What she found surprised her; her lover was a 'happily' married man with three small children. Not wanting to go back to England and face her family who had already ridiculed her and threatened to cast her off if she didn't marry her child's father, Judith moved to Bremen and got a job quickly at a local hospital there. She was very careful to avoid Lars and his family, and was successful for nearly two years after Cam was born, but being a relatively small place, she did run into them time and again, but she never made a fuss and he always pretended not to know her. She would never really recover from the depression her encounters with him helped bring on, and to ease the depression, which was untreated as those things normally were during that time, she began drinking heavily several days a week. When Camden was seven, Judith made the decision to move back to London, hoping to get her life back together for the sake of her child. This was not to be. Her drinking increased, and she moved up to taking pills to numb her further. She was fired from her job shortly after being hired when she was caught stealing medications she was supposed to distribute to her patients. It didn't matter though, not very long afterwards, Judith was killed in a random attack in a park carried out by Death Eaters. (The attack occurred on a late fall evening, and claimed the lives of 9 muggles; 6 women and 3 men, children seemed to be spared.) Being shunned by his mother's family, Camden became a ward of the court and by the age of fourteen, a runaway. His mother may have been a drunk, but she was never cruel to him and always did her best to see that he had everything he could want or need. Now, he was thrust out by an uncaring society, into a family that seemed to do everything in it's power to make him miserable. He suffered much physical and mental abuse at the hands of the father of that family, and because of that he developed a cruel streak, he started simply as a bully to other children in school, doing typical bully things like beating up kids for their lunch money, picking on the odd child out etc. Soon after though, that release of his anger was not enough and he began torturing and eventually killing small animals to help him vent, or at the later stages, he simply wanted to watch them die. A week after his 14th birthday, he was out in the yard with with one such animal, a rabbit, having tried a different method of death this time (quick and clean breaking of it's neck) when he was discovered. Before anyone could make a phone call, he ran from the yard with naught but the clothes on his back, never to return. Living on the street and having to fight to survive the day didn't help to improve his cruelty. He learned many things out there, and street fighting and knife fighting soon became second nature to him. At the age of sixteen, he was finally able to find someone who would take a chance and hire him. The town's resident butcher, James. The work was steady and the pay kept him in food and things to read, and also eventually put a real roof over his head. There wasn't much beyond that that he needed. One night as they were closing up the shop, James asked Cam, for the first time, what his story was. Having nothing to hide, and trusting James as he now did, Cam told him everything. The old man paled when he heard how the boys mother had died. It was a well known story, the mysterious attack in the park just up the street that had left nine dead. But few people knew what had really happened. In a hushed voice, James explained to him about the Death Eaters, or rather what he knew of them and told him about a group that he--didn't participate with, but supported, financially (as best he could) or gave shelter to if someone needed a place to hide. It was James that lit the fire under young Cam to seek out the ones responsible for the death of his mother. He had the boy meet with some of the other members of this organization, never any two members were seen together in those beginning stages, all of it was very hush hush. At first, none of it really made sense to him. He was very uncertain then, not knowing what to believe. But the further he delved into the mystery, the more things began to fall in place. Two years after meeting his new 'family', he was introduced to a wizard that worked at the Daily Prophet. The man made the archives readily available to him, even going as far as to supply a name of the ones that orchestrated the attack on the park where his mother died. Lestrange. It became an obsession with him. The name haunted his every waking moment, he lived and breathed Lestrange. They had ruined his life, and he was determined to avenge his mother's death, to make them pay dearly for the possible chance at a normal life they had taken from him. And he remembers the attack well, as his mother had fallen wide eyed and dead to the ground, the figure that loomed over her turned to walk away and pure adrenalin surged through young Cam's body and he jumped to the back of the man, who struggled for a moment before before easily flipping the child over his shoulder. On his way down, Cam flailed and grabbed at what he could, and ended up with the man's mask and getting a clear look at his face. The day after the Lestranges escaped from Azkaban was the first time he had a chance to check the name against the faces, and his heart leapt at the sight. He tore one of the three's pictures out of the paper, and he still carries it in his wallet.
