Description
Callum Vane is a striking young man with sharp features, confident posture, and an athletic build that comes from years of Quidditch training. He carries himself with the easy assurance of someone who knows he’s skilled, never far from a smirk or cutting remark.
Personality
Callum is kind, effortlessly intelligent, and often the smartest person in the room—and he knows it. He’s a natural athlete with a sharp wit, constantly challenging professors with cutting observations and smug debates.
Background
Callum’s father was a beater at Hogwarts, and Callum wants to follow in his footsteps on the Quidditch pitch. He is related to Seylon Vane, the wizard that created Seylon’s Tower, and knows a bit about his ancestor’s history.
Story
Callum started as a rival to Caoimhe Keelan, Finlay Figgins, and Otto Noxley. Teamed with Declan MacMillan and Elias Flint for Wizzlethorpe’s Research Challenge, his group won first place and claimed the Dust of Disappearance—which the party promptly stole from him.
Otto drugged him with a Forgetfulness Potion and pickpocketed the dust while Callum demonstrated his leg workouts. When he later discovered the substitution with Puffing Pixie Powder, he confronted the party about where they’d gone. His suspicions only deepened.
One night, Otto caught Callum sneaking out. Following him led the party to Juniper’s Midnight Market, where they discovered Callum’s group was also plotting something involving Polyjuice Potion. When Primrose Calloway disappeared, Callum demanded to join their investigation.
He proved himself in Seylon’s Tower, impressed by the party’s navigation skills. Using his Polyjuice Potion, he helped them disguise themselves when cornered by professors. In the frozen north, Callum healed Finlay after a brutal Ice Widow attack and has become an unexpected ally—though he remains petrified by Oleg Mirnov’s betrayal alongside the others.
