Antosha Kirillovich Volkov

PERSONALITY

Antosha isn't what most people would think of when they picture a Death Eater. He isn't a cold hearted psychopath, he doesn't have an incredibly high intellect, he isn't a pureblood. He has cried whenever an animal dies, he has a fondness for cuddling, and more often than not he'll let complete strangers crash on his couch for no greater a reason than they have no where else to go. But make no mistake, Antosha has the superiority complex that is custom for any classic pureblood Death Eater. Except he doesn't think he's superior, he knows he is. After all why would he have to bow to the laws of men that are not magical. Men who cannot bend time nor command a legion of beasts nor turn one thing into another. No, Antosha has no qualms about the fact he is better than the powerless mice running through the world.

Despite that, Antosha maintains a very loose sort of moral system when it comes to what he is or isn't willing to do in order to achieve the world where the powerless know their place. He'll refuse to kill those under 18, he won't torture unless they require information, and he is against raping the weak. But even Antosha acknowledges the fact that blood must be spilled for any war to be won. Lives must be forfeit in order for the righteous to take their destined places. Well, he attempts not to kill or torture unless necessary but the Death Eaters aren't always so keen on his plans.

Antosha does have a life outside of his blood supremacy, though, and to any wizard, wolf, or vampire that knows and befriends him they know he a very amiable person. He goes with the flow for the most part, willing to adjust his schedule with very little notice in order to accommodate his friends. There is very little Antosha is insistent upon -things like bringing a stray home or keeping someone from harm come to mind- but when he does stumble upon something like that he's quite similar to the Juggernaut from X-men in the sense that he'll never stop and never drop the situation until he deems it resolved

Finally, Antosha has the tiniest bit of a hero's complex. It probably stems from the fact he's been the cause of many deaths while he's been a Death Eater. As such he's always trying to shove his nose is in friends' businesses in order to try to help them. He's unable to abandon someone in need, especially if that someone is a wizard (or wolf or vampire). But Antosha doesn't leave his hero-ing to only wizards (or wolves, or vampires) and has butted his nose into the living situation of one or two younger children when they were in danger. Such as helping a young girl get off of a frozen lake because the ice was cracking.

HISTORY

Antosha originally hailed from Moscow, Russia where he grew up with his twin brother (aptly named Vladimir, as a sort of family joke) and his baby sister Rayne. His bastard vampiric father was never around, having skipped out before the twins had ever been brought to life. His mother had once been a pureblooded witch, loved by her family. But that was before Antosha was born. After she became pregnant she was banished from the family and had to live alone, with her kids, doing Death Eater work in order to protect her children. 

So all Antosha grew up knowing was blood purity and that he was better than all the muggles of the world. His brother grew up beside him, drinking in the same values but resenting the whole family for their beliefs. Anyway. Long story short, Antosha became a Death Eater when he came of age. After they'd moved to England so Gaia -his mother- could marry an old family friend and they could have a real family. From this union Antosha gained another family member; Mayu Yoshiko, his second baby sister.
