PETS:
personally, marquis owns a brown kneazle by the name of pudding , she's a large creature even for a kneazle though that's probably because she's overweight , marquis spoils her so . despite being larger then marquis head she's so large she's quite graceful , capable of jumping and running as well as a normal cat would if not a tad slower , this was shown when she swatted cain down from a bookcase and nearly bit it's head off . as a result cain steers clear from the sassy cat .
another family pet is an old , battered up looking great horned owl by the name of cain . it was his fathers and as a result carries the same ' sunny ' disposition of his master . primarily used as secret correspondence between marquis , his father and ' other ' people whose identities are best left undisclosed cain has another role . spying , on marquis specifically . possessing marquis is a tiring ordeal and as a result cannot do it 24/7 during the times his resting cain is sent to observe the boy and ensure he doesn't do anything traitorous . though magical means cain possess a crystallized which is tied around his neck providing his master's sight beyond the walls of azkaban .

BIGGEST FEAR:
one would think that after everything his father has done to him marquis's greatest fear would be his father . wrong , the form his boggart takes is of himself , a completely dark / shadowed version of himself with glowing white eyes . after the sinclair slaughter marquis has been deathly afraid of the dark things his capable of and what his father will have him perform next .
PERSONALITY:
- complicated:
marquis is perhaps one of the most if not the most complicated person you'll ever have the ' privilege ' of meeting . to say marquis has family issues would be putting it lightly to say the least . pureblood elitism has been drilled into his very psyche sense day one . so in that regard his very much so his father's son . on the other hand while he does take great pride in his heritage and status in society he doesn't believe that purebloods are tasked with the ' destiny ' of purging the world from muggleborn influence . instead he sees himself more as a preserver of the ancient ways , the proper mannerisms from a more ' civilized ' time . these beliefs of his however haven't made him very popular among many of the more ' extreme ' of purebloods including his own family . deemed a failure in everything but his innate skill at manipulation his father was determined to mold his son into someone worthy of carrying along the esperanza name , by any means necessary .
- gentleman:
due to his family being blacklisted as a result of their participation throughout both wars marquis was banned from attending hogwarts and as a result was home schooled for a large majority of what would have been his hogwarts career . it wasn't a dreadful experience by any means though he did feel a tinge of disappointment from time to time . he was privately tutored by the best scholars that money could buy and whom were utterly devoted to his family ( they disposed of soon after they outlived their usefulness ) . s that money could buy and whom were utterly devoted to his family ( they disposed of soon after they outlived their usefulness ) . intelligent , and unrealistically proper would be two words that best describe him . old fashioned would be another at times it's as though he came right out of the eighteen hundreds with his manner of speech , dress , and actions .
- borderline psychotic:
all of marquis bad traits , cockiness , a degree of sadism when it comes to getting his way , manipulation , and complete and utter domination all of these previously hidden traits are brought to the surface and amplified whenever his father is in control . under his father's control he bested and slaughtered the sinclair family in a single inglorious battle . the revenge , the blood thirst was overwhelming as he looked at the mutilated corpse of his rival . he'll never forget that sight the scene of a man dead before his feet , worst of all at the end of the day once his body was once again his own marquis enjoyed the rush . . . - split-personality:
by his father's decree marquis attends hogwarts this year under the guise of alexander sinclair son of the late richard sinclair . as though that wasn't enough richard's daughter victoria under the penalty of death is forced to attend hogwarts with him as his ' sister ' for appearance sake . she hates him , but still plays the ' good ' , ' loving ' little sister she might have been towards her actual brother . she knows nothing about marquis father controlling his actions and instead thinks he was just another pureblood spawn just as his father was . the stress of keeping appearances is starting to get to him , he has difficulty sleeping , eating and preforming even the most basic of tasks .
- honorable:
whenever marquis makes a promise he'll uphold it or die trying. richard sinclair helped give him a fighting chance at retaking his life , " protect my daughter from what's to come " marquis is a puppet now but one with a single string loose , it isn't much but it's still freedom his mind is still his own for now . he will retake his life and with that life protect both himself and victoria because like his name esperanza translates , there is always hope .

MOTHER:
alexandra esperanza, pureblood, deceased
marquis never knew his mother , there are no pictures or anything about her . he tried asking one of the servants once but they didn't reply they never replied . he had no idea what she even looked like until his father started possessing him , the link worked both ways and while he wasn't nearly strong enough to gaze too far into his fathers mind he did catch a glimpse of what he assumes is his mother . she was beautiful and tall , taller than his father ( though everyone was ) and had the most beautiful hair , her favorite food was pudding , chocolate pudding . so in her memory he named his cat after her greatest love . his skeptical as to whether or not she actually loved his father or was controlled like everyone else in his life , he noticed how she never smiled at his father but rather at another man , one by the name richard sinclair . was that the source of all this hate and rage ?
FATHER:
theodore esperanza, pureblood, incarcerated
marquis father was always a small man , frail would but putting it lightly but will serve to prove just how unimposing he was ( thankfully marquis didn't inherit this ) . despite his rather unimpressive physical build , he made up for it with sheer determination . he hated being underestimated something that happened often when your a five foot - three man barley weighing over one hundred pounds . now he wasn't and isn't a powerful wizard by any account it was mind , that beautiful mind of his that truly made him deadly . as a child he often manipulated larger and often at times less ' intelligent ' of children to do things for him . this mindset only grew more literal as time went on . throughout his hogwarts career he was often at odds with a boy named richard sinclair a boy who would ultimately be named his eternal ' rival ' . the pair often dueled one another , these duels eventually evolved into full out death matches throughout both of the wizarding wars . shortly before his capture , he met a woman named alexandra honeywell ( it's uncertain whether or not they fell in love or he manipulated her into marrying him probably the latter ) who ultimately sired him a child though died during the birth . he sent the child away back to his home in the hills of spain and returned to britan intending on attending a ' neo - death eater ' meeting , it turned out to be a carefully set aruor trap and despite all of his intelligence he fell for it ! beaten he sat in azkaban for countless years , planning his revenge . his mind was set on a single purpose , a single goal , revenge . he concentrated to the extent that he ignored sleep , he ignored food and drink and as a result his body deteriorated . it's gotten to the point to were he couldn't stand , or hardly breathe on his own , however the plan was complete he devised the perfect plan . he has studied legilimency and mastered it to the extent that he could project his dominion over a person , but he wasn't voldemort he needed a catalyst some way he could transplant a part of himself .
cain
his trustworthy pet , having snuck inside his cell marquis father gave cain two things his wand which would act as the catalyst of his legilimency and his left eye which he crystallized and connected to a necklace he made out of rags , so that could see the events that took place outside azkaban's walls . he instructed cain to watch over marquis , and had his trust companion drop the wand before one of his servants who picked it up and was possessed , eventually switching from servant to servant he observed and trained marquis before eventually giving him the wand and taking over his sons body . the bond was supposed to be permanent however do to a charm being placed on marquis whenever his father takes possession of the body it forcibly removes the outside presence after a time . quick annoying however his thinking of a way to remove the charm until then he'll watch with great interest as his son lives what he thinks is ' his ' life . . .
SIBLINGS:
while marquis doesn't possess any actual siblings his ' unofficial ' sister is , victoria sinclair, seventeen, ravenclaw
the sinclairs and the esperanza's two wizarding families seemingly locked in an never ending struggle . it all started with their fathers , richard sinclair and theodore esperanza , their hate and malice ( or at least theodore's ) spilled into the next generation were it proceeded to infect their children and curse them with nothing but hardship and heartache . growing up victoria knew nothing of the esperanza's he father didn't premit it , saying , " it isn't her battle , should their threat ever arise again which it won't i and if need be alexander will handle it but not victoria . . . not my baby girl . " as a result she grew up and lived a fairly normal life , except for the fact that she wasn't allowed to attend hogwarts . richard seemingly obsessed and paranoid of the outside world after having lived to see two wizarding wars he was reluctant to let his children loose in the world and as a result she along with her brother was forced to stay home and resume their studies .
everything was more or less normal until one halloween night . unknown men assaulted her home breaking and trashing the beautiful manor before setting it ablaze . she along with her brother and mother were taken and drug into the parlor just in time to see her father be stabbed in the chest by what appeared to be a knife , she fainted on the spot , when she awoke she was in an unfamiliar place and scared out of her mind . a boy walked in around her age and pointed a wand at her , he cursed her forbid her to speak anything of his true identity one that would eventually be known as marquis esperanza .
she was then forced to help him keep up the guise of being her brother as they attended hogwarts the following year . she doesn't know why this unknown boy killed her family and is not forcing her to pretend as though his her brother . she wasn't capable of her hate but if she was she'd want nothing more than to see him brought to justice . behind that beautiful face and smile is a scared and broken girl who wants nothing more than for this nightmare to end . . .
HISTORY:
along the black family and malfoy families the esperanza's were well-known for their complete and utter dedication and loyalty towards the dark lord throughout both wars . as a result his family was blacklisted , deemed terrorists who belong in the deepest darkest reaches of azkaban or preferably dead . as a result throughout his eighteen years of living marquis never truly knew his family he simply knew of them. he was raised among servants , each bearing the esperanza's family crest on their forearm and each ready to sacrifice themselves for their master's cause . despite the manor being constantly filled with , maids , chefs , butlers , gardeners , and the such marquis always felt alone , disconnected from society as he looked through the window within his families manor on the spanish countryside . their manner of speech were short and straight to the point , never wasting time with pointless banter . the oddest thing though were their eyes , they were completely glazed over and lifeless almost as though there weren't really there . or maybe it was the fact that they didn't have an pupils that unnerved him the most , marquis tries not to think about that often he still feels a chill run down his spine whenever that thought arises .
because his family was blacklisted marquis was unable to attend hogwarts , or leave the house really . as a result marquis was home schooled , trained and taught by the by the brightest but at the same time darkest (figuratively ) witches and wizards money could buy . he loved them , it wasn't for their personality or anything but because they were real , they were human and unlike the almost zombie like servants that lurk within the many corridors of his ancestral home . they taught him a variety of things whether is was history , potion making , proper mannerisms of someone of his stature , the dark arts , and even how to ride a broomstick ( though he never really enjoyed that portion of the training ) . it always saddened marquis to see them leave , but that was just apart of his life and he quickly accepted that . for sixteen years this process continued , for sixteen years he studied and for sixteen years he existed within the manor never leaving it for any reason .
it wasn't until a week before his sixteenth birthday , before something unusual happened . he began to hear whispers when no one was around, they didn't seem to originate in any particular direction it was almost as if his very subconscious was speaking to him . this of course was impossible so he simply ignored it thinking it to be simply ' him needing to get out more ' . however as the week progressed the whispers began getting louder , desires that he didn't crave , urges he didn't know he had began to engulf and cloud his mind like a hallucinate gas . before he knew it for the first time in his very brief fifteen years of living , he had a purpose a goal .
revenge . . . .
he didn't know why , he didn't care all he knew was they richard sinclair had to die . and he was the one to evoke unholy justice upon his foe . his body ached , his blood boiled he needed to watch as richard took his last breath , he wanted to see the look on his face when he killed both his wife and children . before he knew it , he was marching up the pathway to the sinclair estate with his dark ' entourage ' of servants in toll . despite having such clouded reasoning he couldn't help but admire the estate grounds , it was quite beautiful the scottish countryside was quite different than the spanish hills he grew up admiring from afar . however as quickly as the thought came it vanished , and just like that he resumed his advance on this household .
the battle was glorious
marquis and his ever loyal servants stormed the manor pouring through the windows , doors and even the hole in the wall marquis himself decided to create when he found that entering though the door wasn't ' dramatic ' enough . yelling out every incantation he knew spells of all different shapes , colors , and effects flew about striking and something not their desired targets . it wasn't long before marquis was staring down the source of his rage , the anger , and hate . richard sinclair retired aruor for the ministry of magic . richard yelled at the boy asking what the meaning of this was and was given the shock of his life , marquis laughed and answered him though not in his own voice . " don't you recognize me richard i told you i'd be back and that the next time we meet it would end with your death ! " needless to say richard didn't expect this twist and neither did marquis who had absolutely no idea what was going on . it didn't take richard long to notice the similarities between the boy and his father and began shaking his head in disgust , " really taking control of your own son in the sake of revenge ? you truly are twisted ! " he had to admit though he underestimated just how powerful his rival was . to take over someone completely and utterly like this , he thought only voldemort could achieve such a task and from such a distance too this man truly was a monster , one that needed to be removed from society once and for all least he continue to infect the world with his dark presence.
and so they fought . . .
being both smaller and younger then the man marquis could only helplessly watch as his body was thrown apart the manor . his father was behind this but why , where was he and why was he controlling him to seek some childish revenge ? eventually marquis was thrown into a bookcase , the wand he was using ( and didn't recognize ) sliding away from his grasp . he could only watch , petrified as richard stood above him , wand pointing at his throat . " i don't know if you can hear me , but i'm sorry . . . " just before richard ended the esperanza threat forever three figures were drug inside the room and roughly thrown to the floor by marquis servants . richards eyes shifted before widening , his family ! a second's distraction was all he needed retrieving his wand and utilizing what little strength he had left he tackle the man and plunged his wand inside of richards chest . he didn't expect that , as he fell back onto the floor, marquis on top of him repeatedly stabbing . " because of YOU my son had to live his life up until now in isolation ! I could never take him to get his own wand but that's alright I gave him my own . do you like it ? it was my grandfather's and his before him , the perfect wand for a dark wizard like myself ! " he chuckled looking down at the convulsing man before examining his bloodied wand , " how do you think i kept myself occupied these years as i waited for the perfect moment to strike ? i've been sharpening my wand , making it into a makeshift knife , quite ingenious really dogwood really lives up to it's name i was afraid the wand might break penetrating your chest cavity but it looks like my fears were for naught . " he crawled off the man before standing back up and pointed at one of his remaining servants , " do it , " the seemingly lifeless man nodded , pointing his wand at alexander richards son . " avada kedavra " and in a single instance alexander's life was extinguished . marquis laughed darkly before turning his sights on richards wife , " now richard i want you to see the death of your beautiful wife personally ! but wait , death would be too simple ! " marquis nodded at his fateful minion again who immediately yelled out another spell , " crucio! " he tortured her for nearly an hour before her heart gave out from shock . marquis looked down at richard gleefully he was nearly dead himself with all the blood he was losing . " and lastly your daughter;, such a pretty thing ! she must have fainted a while ago such a shame she missed the party . " the servant raised his wand towards the girl ready to eliminate her just as he did to her brother and mother , " no ! " marquis yelled , " ill handle this personally ! "
sacrifice .
before marquis could harm victoria richard raised his wand and screamed out an incantation that neither marquis or his father ever heard of . one that more or less evicted marquis farther from marquis mind and sent him spiraling back . " boy , listen to me i don't know if your anything like your father or not but from the look in your eyes i can see your not . " blood was leaking from his mouth and chest he haven't much longer in this world , " i did the best i could to protect you from your father's influence but it's only partial , if i had time gods i wish i had more time i could complete the charm . it's effect is not unlike occlumency , you'll have to find a way to protect yourself completely i'm not sure how long the charm will last a year or two if you're lucky after that you'll be completely at his mercy . " richard chuckled ; despite the pain , " i guess i get the last laugh , but don't underestimate you father i did and that was my biggest mistake , his one of the most powerful legilimency users i've ever seen and must be utilizing imperio to enhance it's effect and dominion over others . "
he eyes closed , a smile was on his face . . .
" marquis , that's your name right . . . my daughter you must protect her , i beg of you i can sense this is but the clam before the storm i only wish i could be there to weather it . but her life is in your hands now . " his last spell , a curse that would prevent marquis from ever harming her . " i will sir , you have my word . " marquis spoke on his own accord for the first time that night , " thank . . . yo- "
the retired auror died that night , and the sinclar estate burned .
the following weeks was spent back at the esperanza manor , victoria performing the silent treatment towards her captor . his father had a plan , instructing marquis to take over the persona victoria's deceased brother to gain entry to hogwarts , something marquis could never do with his own name . but now as alexander gregory sinclair he could , and with his ' sister ' his legitimacy was even more valid , despite the fact that they look nothing alike which marquis promptly replies , " she's adopted. . . " the irony despite how horribly it was wasn't lost upon him .
marquis doesn't know why his father has decided to risk everything by having him attend hogwarts with victoria , even if a curse was placed on her to ensure they nothing was said of marquis true identity . richard gave him another chance at life and he won't squander that , he made a promise , whether or not she wants it he will protect him from anyone seeing to do harm to her no matter the cost .
he made a promise and he will keep it , like his name suggests there is always hope . . .
