Please be as descriptive as possible here.
Appearance: (PB is David Bradley) Argus Filch is a decrepit old man. His expression is one of annoyance, trampled with decades of spite, pummeled with years of stress and resentment. His nose is crooked and his eyes are outlined by deep wrinkles. His mouth bears teeth yellowed by age, held behind thin, frail lips. Argus' hair is stringy and unkept, chased back by time, revealing the balding image of a man older than he. A wicked grin usually marks his face, adding an air of revulsion to all that care to glance upon him. He usually dons a brown jacket, long and faded from years of wear.

History: The Filch family was luck to have been blessed by many wizards and witches in their long lineage. However, one couple, Andrew and Rebecca Filch, had a son by the name of Argus. When he was nearing the expected age, Argus and his parents awaited happily for his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This day did not come. With great sadness, the Filch family recognized this lack of magical ability in young Argus Filch. Cousins of his were heading off to school, or had already been it it. Argus had been so excited about his turn. And now, to have it taken away so unjustly.

Years went by, and Argus was thought down on. Worse than a muggle-born to Pureblood families, pitied by most others, and ignored by still others who did not know what to think. He was called "poor thing", "muggle", and the worst of them, "Squib". All constant reminders of what he couldn't be.

Age set in and Argus, in need of work, searched the magical world far and wide. However, all positions required an amount of innate magical ability the man simply did not possess. Perhaps it was desire to be around Magic, or the hopeful thought of Magic "rubbing off" on him, but Filch decided to take on a position of Caretaker at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Year of working there, instead of serving any positive purpose for Flich, actually caused the downward spiral of misery and contempt he now exhibits.

However, along his trials and hardships, Filch managed to find one individual who seemed to understand him: Mrs. Norris.

Personality: Bitter, depressed, fowl-tempered, vengeful, neat-freak, etc. These are a few words to describe this man. He will constantly hold the fact that he cannot use magic against all that can. His bitter nature causes him to visciously lash out at students, who he believes to be filthy little rascals ruining Hogwarts.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths- Filch, with the help of Mrs. Norris, knows more about the school and it's goings on more than any other individual.
Weaknesses- He cannot use magic. He tried once with a Kwikspell course, but was unable to apply it.

Habits\Quirks: Filch usually will talk to Mrs. Norris aloud, and constantly sneer at anyone passing by.

Friends and Enemies: Filch has many enemies, namely all of the students; he is thought as insane, I would say, by the teachers. He seems to really take to Umbridge's harsher methods of instruction.

Likes\Dislikes: Filch likes torchering students, Mrs. Norris, and doing Umbridges bidding. He despises students and mud.


Writing Examples:

First Person Writing Example:
Those blasted little nuisances! Them rotten horrible cads! Dunder-headed beasts of students trekkin' mud all through the school! I look at em and I say they don't deserve no education in the magical arts. I swear one day those decrees'll pass and we'll bring corporal punishment back to Hogwarts. I've saved my chains and manacles from the good ole days just for that instance. At least that Umbridge is a right sure instructor. Real good head she's got on her shoulders. Students need discipline.

Third Person Writing Example:
A few students had been wandering the halls of Hogwarts. They may have been lost, or maybe on their way to some important location. At any rate, a certain patrolling individual had recognized them as being far too near a certain "off-limits" area. A shivering "Meow" stirred the students' attentions, as they looked down upon a skeletal cat. It was Mrs. Norris, Filch's lieutenate.

"Bloody hell," one of the students groaned as the group turned around to face the near-decaying Argus Filch, Caretaker of the Scool. The group of students cowered before the towering, strange man, who glared, eyebrows furrowed, back at them.

"What are you lot doing around here, eh?" Filch muttered. Before they had a time to ramble a response, he growled, "No doubt you meddling bunch were lookin for something ya shouldn't have! Umbridge will have to be alerted of this immediately." Filch cackled a low and odd laugh, broken by a stiff cough. He then muttered their names, and sent them off saying they would certainly pay for their nosey and suspicious mulling about. He and Mrs. Norris walked away, both pleasantly considering the event that just took place and the small mission they just accomplished.
