History:
Kenneth Irving, born on December 1st is the second child of Austin and Erin Irving, middle-class couple residing in Sussex, England. During his childhood, he was quiet a handful child, he can't sit around and do nothing, there was always something. He would either started to climb the wall, catching the lizard, anything that could keep him busy. His parents were exhausted trying to make him behave or just be at his best behaviour for most of his childhood. He would try and copy whatever everyone else is doing which at most time irritates his older brother because he would be blamed if Kenneth got himself injured trying. But, that never stops Kenneth, he was by far the most stubborn child.

That was until his sister was born, after the birth of his sister, Kenneth attitude began to change, from reckless to careful. The change puzzled the entire family that for the first few months Callum was still expecting Kenneth to strode into the room trying to imitate him, but it did not. Throughout his years at Hogwarts, Kenneth had made it his life mission to look over his little sister, he made sure that no one would come and harm her which in Sophie's opinion was unnecessary and troublesome. With all the responsibility Kenneth bestowed upon himself, it was surprising how he could still be one of the best student at Hogwarts academically as well as in sports; he served as Gryffindor chaser throughout his time as Hogwarts ever since he was in his second year.

After leaving Hogwarts, Kenneth, surprisingly did not follow any of what any would have predicted him to do, instead of enrolling to become and Auror or taking up job offers at the Ministry, he chose to go out and travel to see the world. He spent nine years traveling all across the globe, documenting the place he had been, creatures he had seen and almost everything into several books. He finally put away his traveling gear and return home at the age of 27, announcing he had seen the world and would now like to settle down. Adding to the surprise, instead of taking any job offer from the Ministry, he chose to serve as a Professor at Hogwarts claiming that it is far more exciting to share knowledge with young students than people his age, they've lost their sense of adventure.
