Robin Rembar

Robin Rembar was a Mesoamerican pureblooded wizard and one of the five architects of Walytja Wizarding Academy.

He was extremely close to his family, his nephews, nieces and cousins attending a school thousands of miles from their home for his family to show their support.

His exact date of death is unknown, but he was honored for his stance with a holiday on 12 May, and Rembar's Peak is a popular attraction for many beings in the Oceania region.

Early Life
The exact isle that Rembar hailed from is currently unknown, due to the many changes in the area. His family was a pure wizarding line, known throughout the world.

Even as a young child, Rembar was constantly challenging the wisdom and knowledge of his elders. Though this led to more than a few punishments for the young wizard, it also led to praise of his looking into things. He often credited his dueling prowess to his sister Eleuia and his brother Lautaro, both whom preferred to use their words while Rembar used his wand.

Rembar eventually became Captain of the C.R.T. Colibrí, a treader that often went between the Caribbean and Oceania. While others stayed only to magical ports, Rembar did not, and this allowed him to see things going on in the Muggle world he was ideologically and morally opposed to, as well as meet Auberon Alura on his routes.

It was while he was en route to the Mariana Islands that he met Elizabeth Ewamin. Her tale made him more determined to act against the current stance of the Wizarding World regarding the current events of the Muggle World, a determination shared by Alura and later, Tibbir Targar and Meena Magura.

The Defiant Acts
Rembar, being from a traditional, pureblooded family, had sway where others did not. He used this sway to make himself heard in places where other beings could not go, to fight for those who could not fight for themselves. This was most specifically seen on the floor of the International Confederation of Wizards. He and his brother Lautaro were often challenging the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Semias Crane, and their decrees, most notably the ones regarding not punishing wizards partaking in various aspects of enslaving other beings.

More than once, Haunce Quahog, Rembar’s brother-in-law and the delegate of the new United States, was said to be looking skyward “as if wishing to be anywhere else.” Yet despite this, the man never raised a protest and often voted to try and pass Rembar’s demands, often the only delegate to do so. Many suspect he was simply appeasing his wife Eleuia, but whatever his reason, Quahog was the first delegate to side with Rembar.

Rembar, backed by Alura and other captains of treaders, began to intervene on their own terms. Very quickly, Rembar became one of the “most infuriating beings the International Confederation has ever had to deal with,” and he had been placed under watch and supervision by the International Confederation more than a few times.

After some time of this, it was soon clear that their attempts were going nowhere, with the International Confederation. It was then that the idea occurred to them; that while it burned that they could not help and save everyone in need, they could certainly save more children. And so the plan was put into motion.

Walytja Architect and Professor
Robin Renbar founded Walytja Wizarding Academy with friends Auberon Alura, Elizabeth Ewamin, Meena Magura and Tibbir Targar. He created and designed Bird House within the academy.

Walytja's location was chosen carefully. It could be hidden but also accessible. It would be a haven for those they could save, and it was in a region that had no permanent location for a school. Roaming tutors in the Oceania region quickly joined, for it was much safer to be in an established area than roaming with all the changes happening due to various Muggle wars and takeovers.

Alongside Auberon Alura, Rembar brought many students to safety at Walytja, with many that had his same yearning to fight back quickly taking his emblem and House.

Rembar valued those that many others grew exasperated at. He was enthralled when students challenged him and he often was noted for having his lessons at various points throughout the school and grounds to ensure his student would not be “dulled by monotony.” He was also often seen alongside students trying to learn the languages of other beings, an act that endeared him greatly to his students as it showed that even great wizards had weaknesses and didn't know everything.

Though it is unknown exactly how or when Rembar died, his legacy is cemented.

Post-Mortem
Numerous portraits of Rembar can be found around various parts of the world, and while he goes between them, he is most often found in his portrait in the Bird Common Room or the Dueling Club's meeting area.

Rembar left an artifact: his spyglass, which was has a burnished brass and bronze surface and pale magical gem lenses which allows for use as spyglass or telescope. Many have said it shows if a being is a threat or not to the observer if seen from afar.

Physical Appearance
Robin Rembar's portraits show him as an average, lithe man with a dark wool-like mass of black hair. He had brown eyes and tan skin and is usually shown with his spyglass or with a book nearby.

He is often seen in bronze dueling robes or Muggle sailing clothes with a tan overcoat and white-collared shirt.

Personality and Traits
Robin Rembar valued those that would not accept tradition or authority as sole reasons for why things were done. He fought for those who could not fight for themselves and would challenge any, even the International Confederation of Wizards, if he felt injustice was rife.

He was very versatile, as despite being a pureblooded wizard, he knew the Muggle world well enough to pass easily in their ports and dress accordingly. He also supported Walytja offering magical languages as an essential part of their learning.
