Alister Von Crogstar was born in the cold month of December in Death Valley, California. He was an only child at the time, and to the acceptance of his parents respectfully half blood. As per his fathers side of the family case, and their noted craze of drawing the youngest at the time more spiritual based powers via rituals, and often time questionable potions. The Crogstar ritual was performed on him by extended family elders that were based in a few locations, notably Wales, Romania, and even further south to the equator in Africa.
The ritual attempted by Crogstar logic and legends draw strength from beyond, although nowadays post the dark lord, the practices were dubbed by muggle standards a "religious passage" to cut it short, as they hexed attempting to invoke in the child, guaranteed magical potential, and the hope of not him becoming a squib. Which was questionable.
To the elders the practice was a success, but traumatizing to baby Alister, as the rite of passage occured when he was six, which left him with his scar on his hip. Once the war broke out between the U.S and the British, Alister and his family moved to Wales, for both business via his father, and to account for Alister's future as a wizard. Around this time his magical abilities have manifested, especially his connection to potion and by inexplicable nature, wandless magic. For many years he took a fascination in both, and other unusual arts such as theories and religious faith and the nature of magic in nature as well. He spoke many times to his father and inquired to his elders in the Crogstar family theories into alchemy, but sort of faded from alchemy as he neared the age of 9.
At the age of 10 his letter to Hogwarts arrived, as did several schools of choice came into question, but due to the esteemed legacy Hogwarts possessed, Alister chose Hogwarts, having dual citizenship, he ventured to various wand shops and settled for a custom made one mixed with redwood branch from the redwood forest in the U.S. During this time Alister had come to become adept in traveling and living among muggles in both places, now enjoying the mix of his European, native, and various other nationalities mixed well into his upbringing.
Upon entering Hogwarts he was quickly sorted into Hufflepuff and for his first 3 years he diligently studied as much as Hogwarts could give him. As he worked his way into his 4th year Alister decided change what was necessary and also took a liking to his mother's side of the family ideology of the late Alister Crowly and his beliefs amid the muggles during his times. While studying this doctrine, and further in secret working his own abilities yearly. Alister worked out, Noting his desire to now additionally work and live an American term "The hustle." in the summer from the age of 14, and onward Alister assisted his father in the family bakery, of magical means. So the muggles, and wizard could both in pound, and silvers enjoy cuisine. Often wild and creative.
His hand in cooking improved as this helped his working in potions as his time for 5th year was O.W.L.S and thankfully his hand in seeing and applying some lessons assisted him during the tough tests. This time due to his hard work he was appointed prefect of hufflepuff and sadly had to appoint to school prefect duties. As he knew for the future a sign of head boy will assist him in both notice for opportunity, and future growth.
Amid the summer of his 6th year the family had proceeded with the rites of passage into manhood, the Crogstar family calling off adulthood and the availability of further advanced wandless training was available, although through self isolation and practice this was required, as each case was different for each Crogstar, this Alister assumed at the time was based on the accumulation of his overall understanding, and application of both magic, and the world and his place in it. Taking upon a metaphilosophical form of magic study. Alister enters his 6th year with this deep in mind.

The Crogstar family is a sub par pureblood family. Considered whittled down due to muggle interactions. It vanishes well beneath the ranks of the main purebloods. This however does not take away its original conditions, as its advantage was it grew to spread continent to continent, and perspectives of magic and origins of magic were studied. Many witches, wizards, and even the devoted squibs studied this, and preached. Looking into the basis, from even understanding many spells originated in latin in Europe, and world wide. But the unexplained still spoke sums.
The greatest tell of a Crogstar is the Crogstar birthmark located commonly on the chest, back, left leg, or inner thigh. The interlocking half circle with the lines. Legend has it that it was a reminder from the original to his offsprings that the family legacy will spread far and wide, or even to be seen as a calling card of sorts.
The Crogstar legacy was an important calling, as while accepting of muggle, pure, and half bloods they were, the importance of living on was pushed, families were required 2 children at minimum, but further if both were squibs a third would be called into play. This belief was hard as they proceeded to invoke archaic ritualistic practices. Which to the present is heavily frowned upon, as it invokes Ancient magic even, which without proper stops and measures, and a child of magical talent's unpredictable reaction. Did find the family losing members, or much much worse cases occurring.
The truth in part pushed Crogstar witches and wizards to embrace magical application and study in both their soul and mind. This inner and true case of connection was what was believed to lead a Crogstar to his/her destiny, or their desires. Although the brutal inner lesson comes that no magical family can just tempt fate, nor make an attempt to press their luck.
In the case of Regilus he originated from the romanian side of the Crogstar family, studying abroad in the U.S. In his dabbling with muggles as both a charmer, and a dab hand in potions, he discovered Danielle Smith. Ms Smith was a muggle, but was not unfamiliar with the magic world, and of course while she accepted her lack of abilities, she boasted with religious doctrine, and added new prospective via the viewerships of the occult. Which was not far off from Regilus's own family's beliefs. While studying in their respective worlds, they enjoyed small dates, and likewise tried small foods. Granted as Regilus loved the american foods he often took to heart finding recipes and upon age and in secret worked to make magical equivalents.
On the spot he created many things such as syrup filled pancakes, and even various american portioned wizarding foods. while creating a unique place for both wizards, witches, and even humanoid creatures, as appropriate to wizarding law would allow, to enjoy the eateries.
His peppermint pipes, and shifting flavored ice creams were definitely the common and requested regulars. Even rumored to take inspiration to bertie bott's flavored jelly beans. The wealth developed in American capitalism, and the use of mass production methods and Regilus's knack of magical application, steadily brought in both muggle, and yes wizarding world currency. As such this enabled Regilus and Danielle to travel and enjoy the fun of life. Both eventually married at the request of both family sides.
The relationship however was not always sunshine, as there was much to watch and account for in both the wizarding world, and muggle world. While lawyers of both magical and muggle means were a solid wall, Regilus and Danielle were obviously working both sides easily, until the war broke out. This pushed a business strain which led to some much unneeded attention, but husband and wife were wise to branch out across Europe for the economical gains therefore settling the family and company headquarters in Wales.
At the current time the American currency has been frozen, however in both cases this is a minor set back to the husband and wife duo.
