Name: Nicolas Phoenix Albion
Age: 34
Wand: 14" carved ivory; Phoenix core
Brief Description: Professor Albion is about six feet, lean with well-muscled arms and a runner's body. He has dark brown hair, usually worn quite short, and hazel eyes. He is attractive but not exceptionally handsome and has a prominent nose.
Personality: A private, almost reclusive person when you first meet him. He warms to people slowly if at all, but is extremely loyal when he does make a personal connection. His sense of humor can be cutting.
What do you want to teach?: Occlumency
History: Professor Albion was born a "Sensitive"--that is, a wizard who is a natural born legillimens, delving into other people's minds and emotions without effort or intent, as wide open to anyone and everyone around him as a radio receiver. He is the third child of Custis and Gillian Wilde Albion, both aurors who became members of the Wizengamot. Despite their skills, they were initially unable to understand what was happening with their young son and family life is chaotic and exhausting.
At the recommendation of the Ministry of Magic, Phoenix's parents placed him in St. Mungo's Hospital, where he lived from ages 3-9 under the care of doctors and wizarding staff who trained him in occlumency. At the recommendation of Dumbledore and McGonagall, the Minister of Magic issued an official exception allowing the child to practice underage magic because it couldhelp him block out and control mental images.
Phoenix returned home from St. Mungo's a quiet and withdrawn child who was now able to control his involuntary legillimency for the most part. His training and education continued at home under private tutors.
Phoenix's parents debated sending him to Hogwarts. They finally did so on Dumbledore's recommendation. Dumbledore placed Phoenix in a limited number of classes with other students to help him learn to socialize with others his age after so many years away from a normal family life. Outside of classes he was supervised by Professor Snape, a master Occulumens and Legilimens Dumbledore believed best suited to work with the boy. (While Phoenix's older brother and sister's schooling coincided or overlapped with that of the "Marauders," Phoenix's did not, coming after James and Lily Potter left school.)
Phoenix graduated Hogwarts with his classmates. He passed his O.W.L.S. with eight exceeds expectations and two outstandings. He returned to Hogwarts for an additional year to complete N.E.W.T.S. in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Potions and Ancient Runes. In addition, he continued intensive training with both Dumbledore and Snape in legilimency and occlumency, emerging as an advanced master of both.
