THE CHARACTER

Sanjay was born in Derby, England to Indian parents that valued hard work and integrity, but also taught their 3 children the importance of going out and finding what made them happy in life. So Sanjay spent his childhood and teenage years (and let's be real, a large chunk of his 20's) goofing off, more concerned about having fun than making something of himself, really YOLO'ing it up if you will. He was the cool uncle, always up for an adventure.

Well... until tragedy struck.

At 27 he lost his twin sister in an accident with a dragon at the reserve she worked at. She left behind her then 3 year old son Devan, which made the entire situation even worse. Since the boy's father had been out of the picture from the day he was born, and Sanjay's parents had moved back to India a few years prior, Sanjay put his big boy pants on and took on the job of raising his nephew. It didn't turn Sanjay into a mature father overnight, but it definitely made him try his best to be what Dev needed. And he must have done a decent job because Dev, now 9, turned out all right all things considered. In fact, some days he seems more like the parent than Sanjay. His sarcasm and dry wit certainly outpower Sanjay's.

But let's rewind a little...

Sanjay, self-appointed class clown, had average grades in school. It wasn't due to lack of skill; Sanjay was very able when he set his mind to something – he just didn't care. He would likely have failed a few classes if not for his parents' threat of castration if he got a single P or D. So when the time came to go out in the big bad world and 'contribute to society' or whatever, he did not have the grades for the cool hit wizard job that he thought would make him lady catnip.

But he would not let his grades stop him. Sanjay turned to his uncle, a high-standing auror at the DMLE, for help. And uncle Suresh came through; he pulled some strings so that Sanjay, despite his overconfidence and appetite for trouble, was allowed to take the entrance test – which he naturally failed, twice. So Sanjay settled for the next, next best thing and became a Magical Law Enforcement Patrol Officer. Hey, general law enforcement can be cool too! He'd like to see you try chasing after pickpockets and confiscating contraband like a badass. Yesterday he broke up a fight between 2 elderly ladies fighting over the last jar of spider eyes at the apothecary. He's got the bruises to prove it.

Since his job with the Patrol sometimes meant working nights his little sister had to help him watch Dev, and when — by some miracle that he thanks Merlin for every day — a wonderful woman named Hadley came into their life she started helping out too. Hadley not only agreed to go on a date with Sanjay when he mustered up the courage to ask her out but actually kept agreeing, until a year had passed and they were somehow still completely taken with each other. Truly shocking.

With Hadley getting on so well with Dev (honestly the kid acts like he likes her better than he likes Sanjay, the ungrateful brat!) and their relationship strengthening every day, they have started talking about moving in together. Everything is seemingly going right in Sanjay's life, but with Hadley being a curse breaker, a title associated with danger, he worries that tragedy may strike one day, sending his and Dev's life crumbling down again.

But! When he isn't worrying about that he is the life of the party. Don't ask him about the mismatched socks – it was Dev who picked them out for him. The Crocs are all him though.
