SO1: Sapphire Narcissa Morana Stavros, Pureblood, Age 20
SO2: August Tobias Germain, Half-Vampire, Age 38
August Germain was raised in a magical orphanage, after his father, Tobias Germain, was attacked and killed in their home by vampires, when August was only 4 years old. His only memory is of a creature reaching out its hand for him, and as he caressed his face, the creature's sharp nail cut his face and left a scar under his eye, which he still has.
He showed no signs of magic until age 10, which the people of the orphanage found very unusual. But on his 10th birthday, he jumped off a window and came floating safely to the ground.
He was a very good student at Hogwarts - his apparent natural keeness on flying made him a star Chaser for Gryffindor.
At one point he started having strange dreams and fantasies, which he didn't recall when he woke up. For the first two years of school, he always felt watched for some reason. However, when he turned 13, the dreams became worse. He started feeling violent impulses he didn't understand and fought, until one day he lost control of himself and attacked a girl from Ravenclaw he found alone in a corridor. Fortunately, he was immediately stopped by a strange man that appeared out of nowhere. He also healed the girl and erased her memory of the attack. August was taken to the Headmaster's office, where he was told what was happening. That man was Grosvenor Doyle, a vampire hunter. He was the one to tell August the truth about himself:
He was the son of a halfblood, Tobias Germain, and Guinevere, the Rose - a powerful vampire who had fallen in disgrace after falling in love with his human father. She had left him with Tobias and was never heard of again. Until the night of the attack - enraged vampires killed his father and were to take him, but for unknown reason, didn't. Some said Guinevere had cast a protecting spell on him, and others that she was there herself that night to stop them.
August was shocked and unbelieving. He was also told that he would be having lessons with Doyle, who would teach him to control his bloody impulses, which was the condition for him to remain in Hogwarts.
August became a proeminent vampire hunter. No one but his mentor, his old Hogwarts teachers and himself know he is half-vampire, and has to feed on animal blood - his favourite is Dragon blood. Aside from this bloodthirst and the fact his canines are sharper that the average human's (but not as sharp as a true vampire's), nothing in him says he's a vampire. He was offered a position in the Ministry a few years ago, but he declined. Since the death of his mentor, he colaborates with them if needed, but prefers to work alone.
(Oh... I tried not to go into story-telling mode with Sapphire, but with August I couldn't help it... Thanks for making him half-vampire like I had asked! They don't know each other yet as so much know "of" each other, because of contacts in the Ministry)
