Elias Carroway

- Nathaniel Carroway (Father, High Ranking member of the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Magical Law Enforcement)
- Lucinda Carroway (Mother, Socialite, well-known within Pure-blood circles)
- Caitlin Carroway (Ravenclaw, 6th year)
- Eamon Carroway (Younger brother, Slytherin, 1st year)
- Felix Carroway (Youngest Brother 2, 8)

- Height: 6’1”
- Build: Tall and lean, with a strong, imposing presence
- Hair: Raven-black, slightly wavy, usually kept tidy
- Eyes: Piercing silver-blue, cold and calculating
- Skin: Pale with an almost unnatural smoothness, as if time forgot to mark him
- Distinguishing Features: Before his disappearance, he had a thin scar across his jaw from a duel gone wrong. However, after returning (if he truly has), his skin appears untouched, almost too perfect, as if it had been reshaped by something unnatural.

Elias was once the epitome of a perfect Slytherin—ambitious, cunning, and possessing a magnetic charisma that drew people to him. Unlike many who used underhanded means to rise in power, Elias mastered every subject and skill through sheer discipline and intelligence. He was calm, always in control, and had an eerie ability to predict the movements of others, both in strategy and in life.
However, beneath his polished exterior, Elias struggled with an insatiable hunger for knowledge and power—one that ultimately led to his downfall. He sought truths that were best left buried, diving into ancient magic that few dared to uncover.
His disappearance in his final year is still shrouded in mystery. Some say he was killed; others whisper that he walks among them still, changed. The truth remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—if Elias Carroway is still alive, he is no longer the same man he once was.

- ✔ Master Strategist – Elias could plan several steps ahead of his peers, excelling in dueling, leadership, and manipulation.
- ✔ Unparalleled Magical Talent – He was considered one of the most naturally gifted students of his time, excelling in complex magic, including nonverbal spells, dark magic theory, and runic enchantments.
- ✔ Unshakable Willpower – Elias had an iron will, capable of resisting mental intrusion, pain, and even magical coercion.
- ✔ Magical Artifacts & Ancient Knowledge – Before his disappearance, Elias discovered something—a forbidden artifact, a lost spell, or a forgotten secret—that may have changed him forever.

- ✖ Obsession with Power & Knowledge – Elias was consumed by his desire to understand magic at its deepest level, which ultimately led him into dangerous, forbidden territory.
- ✖ Detachment from Humanity – Even before he disappeared, Elias struggled with emotional connections, viewing people as pieces on a chessboard rather than individuals. This only worsened after his supposed transformation.
- ✖ Arrogance & Isolation – His brilliance made him dismissive of others, believing few were worthy of his time. He refused to seek help, even when it could have saved him.
- ✖ The Curse (???) – Whatever Elias uncovered, it came with a cost. Some say he vanished into another realm, others claim he became something else entirely. If he returns, he may not be fully human anymore.

Caitlin Carroway (Younger Sister, 16, Ravenclaw)
- Elias was both mentor and mystery to Caitlin. She idolized his brilliance but feared his obsession with power. She never believed he truly died—and now, she is determined to find out what really happened to him -

Eamon Carroway (Younger Brother, 11, Slytherin)
- Eamon was too young to fully understand Elias’s disappearance, but he has grown up in his shadow. Some believe Eamon shares the same dangerous ambition Elias once had -

Professor Reginald Ashworth (Former Hogwarts Mentor, Now Deceased)
- A Hogwarts professor who mentored Elias in advanced magic. He died mysteriously just months after Elias vanished -

The Whispered One (Unknown Entity?)
- Elias spoke of a mysterious figure in his final days—something (or someone) that granted him forbidden knowledge. No records of such an entity exist… but some believe Elias may have become part of it -

Elias Carroway was always brilliant—too brilliant. A prodigy with a mind sharper than any wand, he was destined for greatness. But behind his keen intellect and poised demeanor, Elias was hiding a terrible secret—one that ultimately led to his disappearance.

🔒 Secret: Elias Carroway was obsessed with The Veil—and he may have discovered a way to go beyond it.
The Veil in the Department of Mysteries is a one-way passage to the unknown, a gateway through which the dead pass and never return. Wizards have studied it for centuries, but no one has ever truly understood its purpose. No one has ever come back.

🕯️ The Forbidden Research
While at Hogwarts, Elias discovered ancient, hidden texts buried deep within the Restricted Section—scrolls so old that even the ink had faded. They spoke of a forgotten ritual—a method to pierce the barrier between life and death.
His research consumed him. He stopped attending classes, withdrew from his friends, and spent nights alone in the dungeons, whispering incantations to no one.
Elias wasn’t just studying the Veil.
He was preparing to cross it.

🌑 The Night of His Disappearance
On the night Elias vanished, something unnatural happened.
-🔹 The sky over Hogwarts darkened, though no storm had been forecasted.
-🔹 A strange, low hum vibrated through the castle walls.
-🔹 Caitlin swears she woke up to the sound of her brother’s voice, calling her name—but when she ran to his dormitory, he was already gone.
No one saw Elias leave Hogwarts. There was no trace of him—except for a single, burnt sigil on the floor of his dormitory, a rune that no professor could translate.

🌀 The Unsettling Truth
Did Elias die that night? Did he succeed in his ritual? Or did he become something else entirely?
Some believe he is trapped between worlds, unable to return.
Others think he broke through the Veil—and what came back wasn’t fully him.
But one thing is certain:
Elias Carroway knew something about death that no wizard should ever know.
And if he ever returns…
It won’t be as the boy they once knew.

Elias Carroway was the golden child of the Carroway family—powerful, intelligent, and destined for greatness. From a young age, he showed a remarkable aptitude for magic, mastering spells years before his peers. He became a Prefect in his fifth year, dominated in Duelling Club, and was widely believed to be a future leader in the wizarding world.
But Elias had always been different. He was fascinated by ancient magic, forgotten relics, and the boundaries of what wizards could achieve. He often spoke in riddles, hinting at things no one else understood. His notebooks were filled with forbidden runes, research on lost spells, and references to "the Veil"—a subject that would later haunt his legacy.
In his seventh year, Elias became obsessed with a certain artifact hidden deep within the Hogwarts grounds. He confided in no one, not even his siblings. Then, one night, he vanished.
His disappearance was never explained. The official report claimed he had been killed in a magical accident, but his body was never found. His family never spoke of it, and the Carroways erased his name from all records, treating him as if he had never existed.
Yet, years later, whispers began circulating. Some claimed to see him in the shadows of Knockturn Alley. Others said he appeared in dreams, whispering of things to come. And those who dared to dig too deep into his past… vanished without a trace.
Caitlin, his younger sister, has never stopped looking for him. But she may not like what she finds.

The Official Story:
Hogwarts records and Ministry files state that Elias Carroway perished in a magical accident. His disappearance was never fully investigated, and without a body, the case was quietly closed. The Carroway family, known for their strict reputation, erased all mention of him from their records—as if he had never existed.

The Whispered Rumors:
However, not everyone believes he is truly gone. Strange occurrences have been linked to his name:
-🔹 Unfinished research papers found in the Restricted Section, with ink too fresh to be years old.
-🔹 Slytherin students claiming they saw someone matching Elias’s description lurking in the dungeons late at night.
-🔹 A cold presence in the Carroway estate—whispers in the halls, doors locking by themselves, and books rearranging themselves in the dead of night.
-🔹 A man seen in Knockturn Alley wearing Elias's signature silver ring, his face always obscured.

Theories on His Fate:
-🌀 Theory #1 – He is Trapped Between Worlds
Elias’s research fixated on The Veil—an ancient boundary between life and death. Some believe he accidentally crossed over but was unable to return fully, leaving him halfway between realms. If this is true, then he may still be watching… waiting for someone to bring him back.
-🕯️ Theory #2 – He Became Something Else
Before his disappearance, Elias spoke of an ancient entity that offered him forbidden knowledge. If he truly made contact, he may not be Elias Carroway anymore—at least, not entirely human.
-🔮 Theory #3 – He Is Alive, But Changed
Perhaps Elias never died at all. Perhaps he staged his own disappearance, stepping into the shadows to pursue greater power away from the watchful eyes of Hogwarts. If this is true, then Elias is out there, gathering knowledge, preparing for something bigger.
-👁️ Theory #4 – He Never Left
The most chilling theory? Elias never truly disappeared at all. He exists within the walls of Hogwarts—not as a ghost, not as a student, but as something unseen. Maybe he walks the halls, slipping just beyond sight. Maybe he’s listening. Maybe he’s waiting.

Is Elias Carroway truly dead?
