Character Background:
Cillian Eccleston went to Hogwarts in his younger years, he was a proud Hufflepuff as well as the life of many a party. He fought alongside hundreds of other Wizards during the Wizarding War where he barely escaped a Sectumsempra deadly shot by throwing up his arm, which resulted in the large, ugly scar on his left forearm.
Cillian has always wanted to have a family and a wife but he hasn't met the right woman yet. Or he's just been buried in his studies. Even when he was young, the history of the Dark Arts interested him greatly and he wanted to know more about what they consisted of. Especially after the war. His passion is often mistaken as obsession and some fear it. But he merely wants to understand better so that he can fight back more effectively.
He hates conflict and war but he knows that it is necessary. He often was the peace maker of the drunks at the parties.
Because of this, the war was hard on him and he suffers from mild PTSD from it. Especially after losing his best friend and brother to a killing curse.
