OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Tymon stands out in a big crowd despite his short height. He is the only person ever who you can never mistaken for someone else. Through the years the hair on his head was growing thin and falling out so he decided to go bald at the age of 45. However he does has some hair at the back of his head which goes over in a beard. Eventually he let his head being tattooed as well. Tattoos were nothing new, he has several all across his body(read character history why). For example he has his children's and wife's names tattooed on the left side of his chest where his heart it. Further more is his face angular and ragged. He has quite some wrinkles already and a big scar going through his right eyebrow eye and ending at his big outstanding nose. His right ear is missing half of it which was torn off during a nasty fight. In both his ears he wears his self crafted silver earrings. His most outstanding feature might be his beard and moustache of his fading brown colour, it already shows some shades of grey, betraying his age.
Tymon has a rugged firm build which goes strangely well with his short height. His body is despite his age muscular as ever and covered by scars he gained through the years. His hands and feet are quite big compared to the rest of his body. Tymon knows he is not a beauty but he does not even bother to waste energy looking pretty. His body is more of a way to express himself as who he is. Every piece of him tells a tale he has been through his life. The man also has a certain smell which nobody really can place, it's neither an unpleasant nor a pleasant smell. A little combination of rust, leather, tobacco, grass and flowers.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS:
Gardening(he grows his own vegetables and potatoes), hunting, leather crafting, Herbology(duh), metal crafting(he is good at making jewelry), physical fights, weapon master(sword, warhammer, axe, bow and arrow). He speaks Russian, Polish, Hungarian, German and English. (well German and Hungarian a little and English is still with an accent)
MAGICAL SKILLS:
Tymon is not particularly the best when it comes to magic. But he quite knows his way when needed, in the end it was good enough for him to be an auror for several years. He also can preform a little bit of goblin magic his grandfather taught him.
WEAKNESSES:
Tymon has suffered a lot of losses in his life and has grown bitter. Most of the time he comes across as a grumpy and cold man who does not care for others. However the thing is that he has a heart that has loved so much and is broken in so many small pieces he no longer wishes for it.
In some ways he can be bribed with gold, showing his inner greed. Where this comes from he has never found an answer for, it's just in him.
Tymon is not the most intelligent man, despite his knowledge in certain areas. He is an easy target for mind games and sometimes when he gets the feeling someone is mocking his intelligence it'll end with him punching the other in the face.
STRENGTHS:
Strong will(could be seen as stubborn), brave, loyal, good fighter(don't laugh at his size he can really kick your ass until you're crying like a little bitch), despite he does not seem so at first sight: he has a really warm heart.
QUIRKS & HABITS:
He does not know manners that well and often eats with his hands often going along with slurping and burping. Tymon also cracks his knuckles too often.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:
Being part goblin he has an obsession for anything shimmery and shining especially gems and gold. He also has a strange addiction to cookies. At first sight this man would scare the shit out of anyone. Despite his short appearance he comes across as a grumpy intimidating old man on whose bad side you not want to get. And that is actually kind of true, Tymon never forgives and forgets. Once you did something which he doesn’t like, he’ll forever use it against your favour. Especially when he finds out you're a bully, he'll find the lightest excuse to break you.
However he is also the most loyal and bravest man you’ll ever meet. Despite his obsession for valuable things, he is willing to put his own desires aside for the sake of others. He’ll literally go through fire to save those who are dear to him. Yes, he will fight battles even when he knows he stands no chance. As a former auror he will not stand for injustice and does everything to let justice win. When it comes to him as a teacher he often is moody, strict and stern. You don’t want to get detention from this man. Still he is the most patient man when it comes to helping. Some students just have trouble with a certain subject and Tymor is understanding. As long as you are being honest with him he will offer you all the help he can give. He might be a little slow of understanding but he is a hard worker and expects the same from his students.
Tymor is a wild man, he takes care of his own food. Growing his own vegetables and tubers. He also goes hunting from time to time but he’ll never kill an animal without a reason. And when he does, he not only eats the meat but he’ll also use the skin to make clothing or something else out of it. As a person he stands slightly apart from other wizards and knows he doesn’t cut for the social standards. However he is long past the time of caring what people think of him. He is far from happy but down to earth as he is, he takes what life gives him and makes the best out of it.

CHARACTER HISTORY:
Tymon is born the youngest child of a Polish half-blood wizard named Iwan Bienkowski and the half goblin lady Sara Mosko. The tale of how these two people met and ended up getting married would always remain a mystery but it had always been a popular speculation subject among fellow wizards. Now at the time when Tymon was born were his parents already quite old. It was a miracle Sara still managed to give birth. He even was thirty year younger than his only brother who more served like a second father to him than a sibling. Like his brother and sisters he lacked the height normal people had. Unlike how he founded it as a disadvantage at first, he already quickly discovered the good sides of their short appearances. The family itself was nothing special, they were actually really poor and both parents had to work hard to keep everyone fed. It helped that the eldest children already were out of the house.
At the time he was born the land where they lived still was called Poland however it slowly was taken over by the Russian empire. Until in 1834 they had to call themselves Russians too. Luckily the wizarding community wasn’t much affected by it. Just like his siblings had, he went to Koldovstoretz, a wizarding school in Russia. Where he slowly began to turn from a boy into a man. The years weren’t easy, Tymon never was really the best at anything and he felt a lot of peer pressure put upon him. His classmates were like every other teenager very judgemental and nobody could deny that Tymon looked far from the ideal man. Strangely it were more the girls who were mean than the guys. From time to time he could get along with several boys and found his own group of friends who he often went drinking with. However after they all graduated, their group of friends slowly started to fall apart.
Unlike his original plans, he started as a goldsmith due to the fact that his application at the ministry got rejected. As a young student he already picked up the technics early due to the little bit of goblin in his blood. His specialities were marriage rings and necklace pendants. He also learned how to mine special stones and metals like silver which could be used for the jewelry the rich people bought. It all was heavy physical work but Tymon endured it.
Eventually after a few years when he was twenty four and tried once more for a job at the wizarding ministry of Russia, ge got accepted in the lowest rang of aurors. Which in a large country as he lived in meant he was supposed to get rid of the dark wizards he was assigned for. It was not a heroic job, there was no single glory in it. Most of the time was the existence of these dark wizards hidden from the people. In order to maintain stability among the folk. Tymon wasn’t the most flexible nor the smartest person in their team so he often got hurt when working. He set a tattoo everytime he had to kill someone as in a way to punish himself. That way he’ll never forget what he has done. Because even when it is his job to get rid of the dark wizards in any way possible in his eyes they are still human and there lays a huge weight on a human life.
At one day while he was rescuing a British elderly couple and their daughter who were visiting family in Russia, he got seriously injured but he managed to put down the criminal who’d been wanted for several months now. Not being able to apparate because it was too risky, the daughter who was a healer in training took care of his wounds. Slowly a spark appeared between the two. In these times Tymon was still kind and open to people and the girl found herself enjoying the company of the humoristic yet short man. They were unlikely to happen Lauretta as she was called, was tall, slim, blonde and had the brightest set of blue eyes Tymon had ever seen. And then there was him who was at least twenty five centimeters shorter than she was, far from the picture of a handsome man. It was never about the outside, they simply enjoyed each other for the persons they were. Tymon had never expected a woman to show anything like interest in him. He remembered the girls from his school years and how they looked down on him. Despite his hopes, Lauretta denied her feelings for him and returned along with her parents back to the United Kingdom.
Tymon had gathered his courage and wanted to chase the woman who was the first to treat him for the person he was instead of judging him by his appearance. It started with a letter but when she replied in a rather positive way he took the gamble and went to England to see her. He had no intentions of getting married, he just wanted to thank her for the aid she gave him. However as they picked up contact they eventually fell for each other and married in 1846. He even made the ring himself. Sadly his mother could not be there since she had died a year before. It had been the first time Tymon had to deal with a big loss. With permission of her parents, he took her to his home country where she learned the language quickly. The first years they enjoyed just being together however in 1849 their first child was born, a boy who was named Aleksander slightly after Lauretta’s father Alexander. The boy grew up quickly and took after his mother mostly, despite having his father’s grey eyes. Tymon was still close to his elder brother who served the spot as grandfather since their own dad has gone into isolation and refused to speak to anyone. It was a strange happening which came out of nowhere. Some people said Iwan had gone mad but the source was never found. Life still went on and despite the lesser happy moments, Tymon decided to focus on the bright things in life.
And those came in 1851 their second child was born, a little girl who was welcomed by her parents and big brother with a warming smile. For years Tymon managed to look through the heavy job he had because he only thought of protecting his beloved family. When Aleksander turned eleven he went to the same school as Tymon had gone to. Marion grew up as well but slower than Alek had. She seemed to resemble her father more while she had the curly texture of her mother’s hair it was the same dull colour as her father’s. As well as his nose and floppy ears, her parents only saw it as cute but other people were very judgemental. At a young age she was never bothered by her appearance mainly because she didn’t really had the chance to meet other people. Tymon’s whole family looked about and seeing they were about the only people who came over now and then, nobody bothered.
However as soon as she began her first year at Koldovstoretz the happy girl faced the hard outside world. It all started slowly, her classmates picking on her, whispering behind her back, ignoring her existence. But it started to get worse each week. Marion kept it hidden from her parents and brother but an unhappiness grew inside her. When you’re being broken down every day, with nobody. Alek eventually discovered it and informed his parents. That was the point when Tymon went to the school to confront the teachers. They didn't take it seriously and it only made things worse. It went as far as that she was beaten up and humiliated for life. Nobody had foreseen what it was leading too. It went from jinxes to forcing her to drink certain potions for the entertainment of other students. Until one day when a potion turned out to be poison and she died from it. The whole family was savaged when they found out. Lauretta had been crying for nights and Aleksander grew bitter and seek refuge with the wrong people. Tymon’s heart was broken and loaded with guilt, he still feels he should have done more to prevent it. No parent should have to bury their child.
Laurretta never managed to accept their loss, and while Tymon didn’t so either, he knew he had to be strong for his family. Deciding they should begin anew, they moved to Laura’s home country; England. There they made a fresh start but nobody could rip out the black page in their book. Tymon had trouble finding a job because he only spoke the language poorly and didn’t have much education. He shifted between jobs quite often and they had to life with less than they had.
Aleksander had despite the support of his parents never gotten over the fact that he’d been the only one who could have done something. However he’d been pretty selfish during his teenage years and he had been blinded by his own popularity. He’d gotten himself into trouble when he had been out and wanted to find a place to sober up along with his new made friends. However they’d not expected a wild werewolf to live at the border of a forest. Three people in their group were killed and Aleksander and another guy got away with heavy injuries. After the infection was confirmed, Tymon did everything to make sure he would not lose his other child as well. He went to limits making sure Alek could still live a decent life. In the beginning everything seemed to work out and Alek even managed to get a job and find a love interest.
It had almost been too perfect and a mistake was bound to happen. In 1871 Aleksander transformed and escaped from the room Lauretta had enchanted to keep him in. Outside the wolf was free to hunt and it killed a young girl. As the sun rose again Aleksander was caught by the werewolf capture unit and taken to the ministry. Tymon hurried to the Ministry to save his son for certain death only he was just in time to disarm the wizard who was going to use the Avadakedavra curse to end Alek’s life. But not the witch who was working at the same department and fulfilled the task.
The bad news destroyed his wife’s last happiness who took her own life a year later. Having lost everyone he loved, he moved once more to Scotland where he lived in a small house in the forest. He also needed to set his mind of things and traveled through europe for several years. He took some extra time to visit his elder brother and sisters.
Returning back to the village where his son was attacked he met the werewolf who did it. However unlike he expected a poor soul who had no control of his condition, he met a mad man who enjoyed the fear he brought upon the village. In a rage Tymon ended up fighting this man in the same bar where his son had spend his last human hours. There his right ear was half bitten off by the werewolf in human form. However then he didn’t even seem to feel the pain he kept punching the way taller man with his big iron fists until there was no more movement coming from him. Thinking his revenge would relieve his wounded heart, it only made things worse. He now found himself at the same low level and he was nothing better.
In 1877 he started working at Hogwarts as Herbology teacher which was a rather odd turn in his life. And just recently after the murders at Hogwarts he was selected to be the new keeper of the keys. Tymon no longer feels he has a purpose and just lives every day, hoping he can find something. When he is not teaching, he is often to be found in Hogsmeade.
