Keigo Takami: Hogwarts AU

Keigo Takami is a Half-Blood wizard that was born on the 28th of December 1961 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1973, being sorted into Slytherin House.

He has an Hazel wand with a Phoenix Feather core.

His Patronus is a Red-Shouldered Hawk.

His favorite subject was Flying and his least favorite subject was History of Magic.

He was one of the Slytherin Chasers from his fifth year onward and the Quidditch Captain in his final year.

Keigo is shown to be highly intelligent, both emotionally and logistically. He promotes a carefree and jovial attitude, while his constant vigilance often hides under layers of serenity and equanimity. Keigo acts laid-back while being on constant alert, usually speaking his mind and coming off as quite rude at times.

Keigo follows the orders of the Ministry of Magic without hesitation, but with subliminal cynicism. Nevertheless, Keigo dislikes formalities, often acting unpredictably while being cocky and taunting. He acts nonchalant and jokingly submissive since he does not care about social status or recognition. Keigo uses a lot of sarcasm such as when he agrees serenely when Katsuki Bakugo claims to have been faster, and he reacts with ironic adaptation when someone claims him to be lesser.

Keigo believes that popular approval is the most important metric a wizard of higher standing should be judged for since it is the tasks of those wizard to put the citizens at ease - something that he claims he's unable to do. Keigo shows a preference for the lower ranks within the Ministry as it would allow him more freedom and avoid the burdens of being a top worker. He states his wish is to work in a free, leisurely fashion and "take it easy."

Still, Keigo is said to be ferocious in regards to his Ministry duties, understanding the importance of a leader figure among all of the departments after Toshinori Yagi's retirement. When around others he likes, Keigo is very talkative and can have a prolonged one-sided conversation casually while helping dozens of civilians simultaneously in his area of influence. He also claims that he will always strive for what he longs for.

Keigo's cunning has been shown multiple times as he outsmarts the tracing spells put on him by Shigaraki and his men, as well as planning his actions ahead in order to have explanations for the Hood incident. He is rational and more far-sighted than other Ministry workers, allowing him the best chances to go undercover. He has also demonstrated his intelligence through his investigative work, being quickly able to deduce the truth behind the prophecy and its connection to All Might and Izuku Midoriya. He was then able to use his analytical skills to try to better understand it and All For One, being the one to theorize All For One could never truly win over the prophecy because he lacks any semblance of self-awareness required to change it.

He appears relaxed in situations of great pressure, such as during the Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Reward. Keigo's gestures are lively, expressive, and highly personalized, as he always wants to get his voice across. He claims to be "bad at keeping it in," even though he possesses complete control over his facial expressions and body language, which makes him an extremely skilled liar. But apparently, he adores the truth, finding lying to be too much work. These traits allowed him to easily work his way into the Paranormal Liberation Front, and the slight change of motivation expertly conveyed to Todoroki the information about the Front's aims and change of leadership.

While Keigo may seem uninterested in most things, he has a good heart, as he saves every single witness from Hood's attack and is silently disgusted at the strain of maintaining his duty-act as a double agent amidst a cabal of dark wizards and terrorists. He also feels guilty about Endeavor's scar, having coaxed the High-End attack into a contained area to reduce casualties.

While he seems relaxed and under-challenged as typical of most prodigies, he is in fact hard-working and under constant pressure with his career. It is proclaimed that he trained endlessly to maximize the techniques in which he uses his spells, refining his rescue, support, and combat abilities.

In his childhood, his father, Takami, would force him to stay locked up in the house to ensure no one could discover and capture him, and he was unable to interact with the outside world or anyone his age. Because of this, he initially believed that the magic he saw his parents perform were just fake. Furthermore, he was subjected to constant physical and emotional abuse by his father. Keigo would be kicked simply for turning his back to his father, who would constantly say how it would've been better if Keigo was never born. Seeing how broken both of his parents were, Keigo held in his emotions and became determined not to endure the same fate.

After his father was arrested by Todoroki, Keigo realized that witches and wizards are indeed real, and his hope was reinvigorated after being freed from his father's abuse. Even in his youth, Keigo showed remarkable inner strength and intelligence, as despite the emotional torment caused by both his parents, he was still firm in his resolve to be a good wizard like Todoroki. Keigo displayed his ingenuity and strength when he and his mother were forced out onto the streets, and after being put down by his mother asking why she even had Keigo or what good his magic were, he became determined to be useful. He intervened in a high-speed automobile crash, saving the lives of many people and garnering the attention of the Ministry, saving both him and his mother from their life of poverty.

Despite his troubled past and him being taken in by a corrupted government who saw him as a mere replacement for Lady Nagant, Keigo was determined to strive and become a wizard like his idol, Todoroki. Through the years, he underwent a harsh training regimen by the Ministry to become an undercover double agent for the safety of society. By the time his training was complete, he still retained his optimism, unlike his superior. He also continued to look up to his idol even after Dabi's public recording (which exposed Todoroki's past of abusing his family). Keigo even went so far as to expose his own past for Todoroki's sake, believing that unlike his own father, Todoroki has truly changed for the better.

Keigo's optimistic side is what leads him to want to find the good in others, potentially due to his own personal guilt over never truly forgiving his mother, something he commends Shoto over after learning of his reconciliation with his mother. Alongside trusting Todoroki and witnessing his growth, as well as believing Lady Nagant still has the heart of a hero even after her turn to the dark side, the biggest example of his compassion was with Jin Bubaigawara, who he managed to develop a genuine bond of friendship with (even while undercover). Having realized that Bubaigawara was truly a good person at heart, and feeling remorseful for exploiting his trust, Keigo held a genuine desire to help the man rehabilitate, even if the plan ultimately failed.

Magnificent Musketeer Tournament

Rochefort Semi-Final - Poll 1

Rochefort - Christopher Lee The Three Musketeers 1973, The Four Musketeers 1974, The Return of the Musketeers 1989

Christopher Lee may not have been the most book faithful depiction, but he did provide a landmark performance. It is because of his depiction that all the other Rochefort's wear eye patches. He has few lines, but he delivers them with a quiet authority and implied menace. His costumes are rich and full, his moustache elegant, and his bearing threatening. He acts as a kind of straightman in this sometimes comical film, but the gravitas he brings still manages to live up to the camp. He also has to fight a duel with a dark lantern in the first movie, and on ice in the second!
