Satori is 32 years old. He was born in Cordoba, Spain. He is a member of a Middle Eastern wizarding family that can trace their lineage back to the time of Christ. He speaks Spanish, French, Italian and Arabic as well as English. His speaking voice is lightly accented. He has a silky Spanish/British sound. He rolls his r’s slightly. His eyes are dark navy blue to the point of almost appearing black. He has fine features and could go undercover as a woman without much difficulty; though make no mistake; He is a powerful wizard and all male. Those unfortunate enough to lower their guard around him have paid dearly.

Satori is 6 feet tall and muscular yet graceful. He has elbow length, thick black hair. His hair is usually tied back neatly with a ribbon. When not teaching he lets his hair loose. It is quite beautiful though he never seems to notice the attention it draws to him and if he did he would probably find away to take advantage of the situation. He brews his own toiletries and smells of clove and cinnamon.

Satori is very formal in manner of dress. Though what he calls formal often differs from the opinion of others. When teaching, He always wears a jacket with a Chinese type collar and long sleeves, under which will certainly be a silk shirt. His clothes are cut to be fitting yet flexible and have many hidden places for his wand, potion vials and other weapons. He prefers tailored slacks in black or grey and Italian leather or dragon skin loafers. He will wear a robe over his attire to formal functions but finds them cumbersome when teaching and in daily life. He would not be caught dead in a wizard’s hat. His favorite colors are black and green though he has been seen sporting a bit of scarlet. He likes expensive muggle clothing when he ventures out and about. He has been known to favor Versace but he has been seen in Knightsbridge as well as Paris perusing Chanel, Lagerfeld and Dior and has an obsession with leather and silk.

There are many nuances in his personality. He can be quite sarcastic with a voice of satin which makes one wonder whether or not they were really just insulted. On the other hand he can be quite caring. He is fiercely loyal. He has a very low tolerance for silliness. He tries, oftentimes unsuccessfully, not to be deliberately hurtful but neither will he mollycoddle anyone or soften the truth. “We are fighting a war and every witch and wizard that can walk and/or talk must be prepared. You-know-who will not ask for ID before he uses aveda kedavera” is a favored quote, another is, “Never ignore the usefulness of muggle artifacts past and present. Just because you don’t understand it does not make it bad. There are no good and bad objects just good and bad Mages.” One of his favorite muggle items besides his teloscope is his Waterman pen. "Keeps my fingers clean so I do not look like a filthy scribe"

Satori attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. He did not; contrary to popular belief, have world domination on his mind when the Sorting Hat was placed upon his head rather; he wanted to have access to all knowledge, to be powerful yet not directly renowned. His desire for power through knowledge and maintaining secrecy about said knowledge got him his placement in Slytherin. His main wand is 12 inch ebony with a core of unicorn hair and dragon heartstring; A perfect blending of dark and light difficult to wield for beginners. The composition of his backup wands are unknown. He graduated with O levels in OWLS and NEWTS and left Hogwarts to concentrate on learning as much defense as possible. He eventually became a Defense Master and an Auror though his position is classified so no one knows quite what he was doing for the Ministry or if he is even still active. He studied astronomy as a minor and is currently teaching Astronomy, DADA and Dark Objects at Hogwarts Academy in Scotland. His mission as a teacher is to prepare students to the best of his ability and to show his fellow house mates that Slytherin is not a synonym for evil death eater. One can be powerful and slick and ruthless for a good cause.
