mirror mirror on the wall, have i got it?
i'm finding it's not easy to be perfect.
eye colour; Brown
hair colour; Black
height; 6'2"
other physical traits; Tall and broad shouldered, he's intimidating to look at and his usual lack of expression doesn't do much to encourage friendly conversation. He rarely smiles, instead tending to either smirk or scowl. His face is long and thin, and his cheekbones are prominent, which all looks sinister under his long and untidy black hair. Recently his pale skin has taken on a sallow waxy quality and he's already started to look a little gaunter. He's thinner and more skeletal than he's ever been. So far he's only been in Azkaban for a few months, but it's obvious he's already started to waste away.
clothing style; Usually, he's a fairly neat dresser. He sticks to plain dark clothes most of the time, but more often than not he's meticulously neat and uncreased, looking as if he's only just got dressed all of the time rather than the much more accurate sentiment of looking as if he's only just been torturing someone.
what i really meant to say[/font][/blockquote]
is that i'm sorry for the way i am.
good traits;
Logan's very determined and once his mind has been set it's very unlikely for him to give up or even to change tactics. He just keeps working relentlessly until he achieves what he wanted or gets his way. He's also very cunning and quite intelligent. Unlike you're average stab-kill-torture Death Eater, he put a lot of time and planning into his career, which is why he managed to evade capture for so long and which is why his name became quite well known. Much as he doesn't seem it, he's got a logical streak and he knows when the game is up and when there's still a chance. For instance, he's always known he's been heading for Azkaban and has been resigned to it for a fair few years. Very skilled at manipulation, if you don't know him or haven't heard of him, he can be anyone he wants to be to try and trick his way. He's almost suave in a sense and can be charming and polite if the need so arises. If you're in his good books, then you might just be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the humanity in him. There is still a little bit left, and when that part surfaces he's not exactly...nice, but he has a sense of humour and vulnerability about him that he won't let show at other times. He's protective of maybe the one or two people that he's ever loved, even if the time has long since passed when he's ever been loved or even liked in return, and would most probably still go to the ends of the earth for them.
flaws;
His flaws are much more easily summed up. He's selfish, lying and cruel...pretty much the stereo-typical blood-centric Slytherin. He has very little conscience and has no moral objections to doing the most awful things to other human beings. Torture, murder, rape...you name it, he's got a record of it. He's exceedingly arrogant, even if he has very little cause to be. In his mind, he's automatically at an advantage to others because of his blood which is nothing but pure, and his reputation, which he worked very hard to build. He's probably got the longest record of old grudges in any person ever, and just does not know how to let go or when enough is enough. If you've ticked him off, he will get you back and twice as bad, and if you fight back then it's full on war. Life is a game to him, it's as if it's not real because he's so apathetic he can't ever feel anything, so he thinks that it's alright to do whatever he wants to other people because they're just other players and it doesn't matter. A chronic liar and sadistic sociopath, he has very little good qualities to redeem his bad ones, and to be honest is really quite insane. He's always been a sandwich short of a picnic, but as he got older just became more and more so until the point where he became what he is today and he's really not all there. When he's angry, then you're more likely to get clear rational thought processes and sense out of him, but he very rarely lets his anger show. Most of the time he's casually indifferent, generally looking bored with the occasional frown or smirk, depending on the situation.
habits;
He chews on his lower lip when he's thinking hard, and often narrows his eyes.
Back in the day, when he had his wand and his freedom, he was always twirling it between his fingers without even being aware of what he was doing.
He has a tendency to mirror people's body language and gestures to cover his own, but again really had no idea that he's even doing it.
One of his most infuriating habits, is that he'll comment that something is 'funny' and then stubbornly won't laugh. This tends to drive people mad.
He also likes to smile (or smirk which is his equivalent to a smile) for no apparent reason to make people nervous.

place of birth; St Mungo's
date of birth; November 14th
brief history; Logan was born as the third child and second heir to typically arrogant pureblood parents. He was a few minutes older than his twin and therefore little brother, Will, and saw this as an advantage right from the start. He was second in command of the Andrews family heirarchy, as their parents rarely got involved and he was the second most ruthless and second oldest male.
He never complained about this and he always seemed to fit comfortably into the role, but as he got slightly older he found this didn't really satisfy him. He found from a young age he had a talent for bending people to his will, and an even greater talent at making those who resisted hurt in various ways, and started to put this to the test. The heirarchy system of the Andrews household leaked into his social life, and soon him and his friends were no longer a meandering group of youths who hung out together because they had nothing better to do, but a regimented system where everyone knew their place and their limits. Logan was proud to be a co-leader of this.
At home, however, things weren't running as smoothly. His sister had started talking to different types of people at school and was starting to break away from the typical elitist view of things. Will followed suit. Finley became more of a control freak blood-centric to compensate and Logan followed suit with this.
This way of life and the constant bickering between the two clearly defined groups of Slytherin's carried on all throughout their schooling. Once Finley and Adalia had graduated, both continued to live at home through lack of ambition and to help keep the peace between the two youngest brothers. When Logan and Will reached their fifth year, Will was disowned. In a desperate bid to be reiniated into the family, Will signed up with the Dark Lord as both Logan and Finley had already done.
Betrayed, Adalia left home shortly afterwards. Shortly after that Finley went missing in action.
Tensions grew higher between the two brothers until they boiled over and it resulted in a row which rapidly turned duel. Their usually apathetic parents joined in once it got too out of hand, and it carried on this way for too long until a lot of damage had been done to the house. Then their father - accidentally or on purpose, he's still not sure - sent a curse at their mother who took it full on and bled to death. Enraged, the twins turned on him and finished him off in the same way.
Will panicked in the aftermath of this, but Logan remained calm as this wasn't his first brush with killing, stunned his brother in case he gave anything away, and left the remains of the house to burn. After this, he met up with his childhood friends and commenced travelling with them for a while. It turned out that he failed at disposing of his brother adequately, as obvious when he joined them, but nothing was said about what had happened and they carried on as normally as possible.
When the group dispersed under bitter conditions that Logan never likes to discuss, and he was betrayed by who he thought was his best friend, he turned even more bitter and even more twisted, throwing himself further into Death Eater work and not sparing any compassion for anyone this time round.
The sins and atrocities that he's clocked up over the years are numerous and it would take too long to mention them all, but possibly the worst - as the effect still lingers with him now - was a rape that turned out unlucky for him. Leading up to the birth of his son, even if he was unaware of this at the time, he spent a few painful months soul searching and resolved to try and be a better man. When he heard about Finley's birth, he decided this would be a good place to start and took him in. He wasn't exactly cut out for fatherhood and relied heavily on his sister, who he was living with at the time, to care for the child. Adalia left when Finley was a year old, as she had her own children by then and didn't trust Logan around them and then he was left to look after Finley on his own.
He failed miserably at this, and just gave up, letting him fend for himself and making sure that he could when he really had to. His spell of trying to better himself lasted a few years, until he finally snapped and could take it no longer. Unfortunately, this was about the time the war ended and psychopaths were not in great demand any longer.
He took to lurking around Knockturn Alley in the dark, attacking people who were on their own and trying to satisfy his bloodlust. This didn't work, and the frustration about this built up and up and up, until he realised that he had his own expendable victim in his flat and started taking this frustration out on his son instead.
Still unsatisfied, he took to tracking down former Order members and finishing them off. He's one of the few Death Eaters that remained loyal to the Dark Lord, even when he's fallen.
Eventually, Adalia came home, but it no longer made any difference.
About three years ago, he received a tip off that the ministry was coming for him. He was relieved about this, as it was about time had something proper to do, but soon realised he was in over his head. Half because his loyalty to his old best friend remained, and half because he needed help, he contacted an old friend and informed him that he was being shadowed by the ministry too. After a few days of waiting, they left together and lived on the run for two years. Christopher returned home, unwilling to stay away from him family and also because he'd heard that he had a new daughter, but Logan remained on the run. About six months ago, he tired of this and decided even he didn't want to live this way anymore and returned home to wait on his arrest. Four months ago he was arrested and sent to Azkaban for life without trial. He's been there ever since.
