FAMILY & HISTORY
Place of Birth: London.
Notable Relatives: Anakin Walker (Husband), Theodosia (Téa) Walker (daughter, Half-Veela) Victor Cross (Father, Half-Blood), Isabella (Bella) Cross (Mother, Muggle, Tentative civility between them atm.), Lucien Harris-Cross (Half-Blood, brother), Mary Harris-Cross (Muggle, Sister In Law.), Various walkers as brothers and sister in law.
Character History: Maverick would say that he grew up alone. His brother was ten years older than him so he'd been born in somebody else's shadow. Lucien had always been academically inclined so he had felt from a young age he needed to be as well to gain his parents approval. His younger years had been better, with Lucien taking his younger brother under his wing, reading to him, teaching him to write and about history. Things changed when his brother had graduated and had decided to go to a muggle university and then go into med school. He'd gotten bitter young. By eleven he'd been acting out towards his mother, blaming her for her bother being gone away at school and his new lack of personal relationships. By the time Lucien was out of School Maverick's resentment had grown for his whole family, feeling like he was constantly in the shadow of his older brother who only wanted to do good in the world.
Following an explosive reunion at Lucien's graduation, where Maverick accidentally expelled magic and was arrested by MACUSA, Maverick decided that he would also go to a muggle school, but instead of going into the medical field he went into History, eventually getting his own doctorate and becoming a professor at the university he had gone to, all while developing some more illicit habits to cope with his trauma. Following this he got on speaking terms with his parents again but refused to speak to or about his brother, instead deciding to tell people that he was either dead or didn't exist to begin with.
In 2006, Maverick met Christofer Walker at a car show, relating the younger man to some of his brighter students. Chris had an older brother with him, Annie, and from Maverick's end, it was love (or something like it) at first sight. Annie Walker became his long game, a fascination and obsession as he became a family friend teaching the two youngest orphaned siblings to drive, and he had only just wrapped up in December 2011 when he initiated a relationship with Annie. He had every intention of toying with Annie as he had in every other relationship, but by the summer, this history came to light, and blown away by Annie's loyalty in spite of it, Maverick dedicated himself to growing past it. He has since gotten sober, reconnected with his brother, married into the Walker family, and, as of summer 2017, become father to a baby girl, Theodosia.
