Appearance: Hugh is a tall and gangly young man who prides himself in his appearance. He thinks of himself as a cool and hip sort of dude who is perpetually have to fight ladies off with a stick. He's not completely wrong, but not as right as he'd like to be either.
He always wears some sort of football scarf (the team depends on his mood in the morning), and usually a leather jacket when he's outside. If he absolutley has to he will shave for special occasions, but most times he's happy to let the scruff run wild.
Personality: Hugh is an adventurous fellow and sometimes regrets that he took a teaching position. He sees himself more as a friend to his students and occasionally forgets that he's meant to be an authority figure. He tries to keep his relationships with students and other faculty as genial as possible which occasionally makes certain staff members uncomfortable.
In his free time Hugh loves to fly and is a well accomplished traveler. He is unsure if this teaching thing will last more than a year, as he can hear the open road calling his name.

History: Hugh grew up in a muggle orphanage after he was left there by his mother shortly after he was born. He knows very little about his family, though given his magical nature there is a likelihood that he is of magical heritage. He continued to spend summers at the orphanage while attending Hogwarts. While there he gained an intellectual interest in the Dark Arts. Upon graduation he had no family ties or jobs to keep him in England so he traveled extensively. During his travels Hugh studied all manner of dark creatures and practices. Only a need to recover from a nasty acromantula bite and a very diminished bank account have brought him to Hogwarts.
