Zacariah Piecemaker

Zacariah Piecemaker was born in a time when being muggleborn was unfavorable to some, but remained a liveable existence. Unfortunately, he caught only the tail end of a slightly peaceful time for witches and wizards who'd been born from two non-magical parents. Sensing the rise of a horrible force, he wasn't as surprised as he was angry when the Rouge reared its head and the Ministry followed suit.

Before his eyes, muggleborn children were taken from their parents and tossed into an orphanage. Blood discrimination rose to a terrible boiling point, and no muggleborn anywhere could feel safe, as even the grand school of Hogwarts grew corrupted with the blood-cleansing movement.

Before the feud erupted, Zac owned a Wand Shop--not the most famous or prestigious one, but one that made him happy, feeling worthy among his peers. After the movement, however, Zac was stripped of his career by the fact that non-muggleborn wizards would no longer purchase from his shop. Zac grew more and more furious the worse the situation became and the more he saw the distaste in the eyes of his peers.

With nothing left to lose, he decided to flee, resisting the Ministry's attempt to register all muggleborns, belittle and humiliate them, and degrade them into a position of lowly existence. Feeling that something even worse than the Muggle Orphanage was on the horizon, Zac gathered as many muggleborns he could find and led them away from the growing disaster.

Zac and his group wandered for quite some time before finding a forest location far enough away from civilization so that it would be impossible to find them. With the help of his friends, he cast protective spells around the land that would thoroughly conceal them from probing eyes. His group then began to construct makeshift houses, eventually growing into a small, functioning community called Albane, though the risk of being found is ever-present in their lives.

Though he found a sanctuary for himself and his friends, Zac couldn't let go of the idea that something had to be done. Witnessing the fall of the one force that tried to stand against the Rouge--La Blanche--Zac knew that any small victory was worth it. While they wait out the war, Zac and his friends spend their time harrassing the Ministry, stealing from its employees, and vandalizing whatever they can. Apparition takes them to and from the city where they operate in secret. The danger, however, is quite large, and so only a choice few from Albane are allowed to go on these ventures to terrorize and spy on Ministry officials.

Aside from Albane, Zac is a strong, hardworking individual, but he can come off as callous and always seems to be angry--even if it's only simmering anger. His bitterness has gotten the best of him, and, though he works to help bring his blood-kind out of oppression, he rarely smiles.
