Character History: Edgar’s family was very prim and proper. They dealt with others when they had to. Meredith’s family was kind and loving. Mery’s father was the caretaker for the Warner family estate who often brought extra help along during the busy summer season. One day, when Mery’s father couldn’t find an extra hand, he convinced his daughter to help. It was then that 21-year-old Edgar saw Meredith for the first time. She had recently graduated from Hogwarts and wasn’t sure what her next step in life would be. For now, the young girl would help her father when needed. Edgar was following in his father’s footsteps to take over the family business and had just returned from a business trip that his father had deemed a success.
Edgar instantly became infatuated with Mery, but his family didn’t think it was a suitable match. Despite his family’s wishes, Ed still met with Mery in secret. Over the summer and secret meetings, their affections continued to grow. During one of the rendevous, his father had caught the two together, which led to him threatening Elias to choose between the family or Meredith. Doing what any young man in love would do, he chose the girl. The two eloped. Her family was ecstatic while his disowned him.
Things were difficult at first while Ed figured out what to do for a job since he could no longer count on the family business. He finally got a job at the Ministry, making things more comfortable for the two. Meredith and Edgar were married for a number of years before expecting their first child. The two were excited for a baby, Mery especially. Unfortunately, Mery passed in childbirth while giving birth to a healthy baby boy.
Devastated at the loss of his wife and an infant to now care for, Edgar reached out to his family for support. Mery’s family was there, but they were suffering from their own loss. The only one to respond was his Aunt Sheryll. She still did not support Edgar’s decision for abandoning his family, but she was not going to let a child grow up without some maternal figure.
Elias grew up differently from his friends at school because he did not have a mother. He had his dad and his Great Aunt Sheryll. At times, he would miss the woman that he never knew, but it was hard to miss something that he had never known. Lias was still always curious to know more about her. His mother’s family shared stories about their lost loved one, while Ed kept things quiet about his deceased wife. His Aunt Sheryll was there when his father was busy with work, which seemed to be often in the early years after the loss of Meredith. Sheryl was not the exact motherly figure that his friends had, but she was present. She was very particular, making sure that Elias acted and dressed a certain way. When he was 10, Elias finally heard his father speak about his mother. The two were laughing about something at the kitchen table when Elias made a certain face where he scrunched his nose when he laughed. Ed commented that Meredith made the same face when she laughed. It was a memory that would stay with Lias for the rest of his life.
