Ilya Novik

Biography
Ilya was born to muggle parents in 1991, in a small town in Belarus (then still part of the Soviet Union). His family moved to the UK looking for work when he was 5. At the age of 6, he started to show signs of magic and his parents were quick to abandon him. His parents quickly moved out of town and Ilya moved to live with their neighbors for the years before getting the letter to Hogwarts.

In Hogwarts the Sorting Hat was torn between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, the hat being drawn more towards Slytherin, but he ended up being sorted to Hufflepuff. Ilya spent all holidays at Hogwarts, occasionally crashing summers and Christmases with a friend’s family if invited. He spent his time studying, focusing intensely on D.A.D.A, during his time at Hogwarts and graduated top of his class. During his years in Hogwarts, he also became an Animagus and met the love of his life, Artemis Dale, only to be separated after graduation. He joined the Auror program with his friend, Emile LeBeau.

During his auror training, he was chosen to join The Slate Program and was given the codename Architect. Architect was extremely different from Ilya and he got obliviated multiple times to keep him loyal to the Ministry and the program. He ended up killing Emile at the orders of his commanding officer Aaron Dowell and was forced to go on the run and hide.

He joined The Forgotten, barely remembering anything. There, he was reconnected with Artemis and the two picked up from where they left off in Hogwarts. During his time in the Forgotten, he was giving the Ministry intel on the camp and the people in camp. One fateful day, he tried to get a way out from the deal by giving out false information. This led to him being murdered by Aaron Dowell. He was brought back by three members of the Forgotten and him and Artemis left camp soon after to live in Ilya's childhood home, The Stonehenge, in Amesbury.

For a few months, Ilya and Artemis were living peacefully in their new home, occasionally getting involved with The Uprising. The pair got married in the gardens of the Refuge. A week after their wedding, Ilya's nightmares flared up and he took a moment to himself, by apparating into Diagon Alley. There, he bumped into Michael Dowell, the founder of the Slate Program. He was kidnapped by Michael and reprogrammed back into Architect. He forgot his real name, causing the man named Ilya Novik to be declared dead. During his time as Architect, he was part of an attack against the Uprising.

Ilya managed to escape the program, stealing a lot of files and intel on the program. He took up the alias of Fulcrum. He is currently working with Jame, the Uprising and its' allies to take down the Slate Program and Michael Dowell for good.
