Albus Dumbledore:
Current Position: Head of the Gryffindor House, Professor of Transfiguration
Previous Position: Apprentice to Nicholas Flamel, (?)
A wizard of indeterminate middle-age, known as a Master Transfigurator, an excellent duellist and even more well-known for having studied Alchemy under Nicholas Flamel and for writing the treatise on the twelve uses of dragon blood. Dumbledore usually lets his long auburn hair fall loose all the way to the waist. How he keeps it from tangling and matting is an often-wondered and often-whispered secret among many witches and not a few wizards. Most of the time, he has a warm smile on his mien that easily makes anyone feel welcome in his vicinity. If there are exceptions, most people aren't aware of it. One person does for the simple reason that he also happens to be one of the people Dumbledore is cool towards; Tom Riddle.
'Albus' is from a Roman cognomen meaning "white, bright" in Latin. 'Percival' is the name of one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table that managed to glimpse the Grail, created by the French poet Chretien de Troyes for the hero of his Arthurian cycle poem. The meaning of the name 'Brian' is not known for certain, possible related to the Celtic element 'bre' meaning hill, or by extension, 'high, noble'.
