Overall Personality: Niels is a guy who likes to come off as confidant. Like he has a good head on his shoulders and knows the answers to everything. Really he feels like he is just guessing most of the time and hoping for the best. He used to be a lot more sure of himself. Some personal tragedies shook him but he doesn't want to give into it.

The man is not a finger wagging make sure every one is falling the rules type. Sure there are rules and he does want them to be fallowed but rather than lecturing or throwing some punishment at someone he would rather make a person admit to him what they did. Niels likes to know that he is right. He likes to make people actually admit what they did wrong. The man is someone who likes to use his words before it comes to fists and hex's. Though he can hold his own in fights, just not as well as he used to. Age has softened him a bit admitably.

Behind this smooth talking tall walking man is someone who is wracked with guilt. This is very much something that almost no one knows about. Loosing his son changed him. Niels used to be a lot more haughty. Sense then his heart became more watchful but also a little bit more fierce. Niels is in the position at the school he is because of it. He wants to see all the children in his school succeed and do well. He doesn't tend to tolerate bullying because he knows first hand what it can do.

Neil's doesn't keep friends well. It is hard for him to completely connect because there is a lot that he doesn't want to open up about (even if he understand that he should). Still he will sit with someone over a glass of good whiskey and shoot the shit. Niels does know how to have fun but a close friend is hard thing to find for this man.

Love is also something that was never something Niels truly found. He has had relationships but nothing that actually broke down his wall. Before he was a father he was just a boy who wanted to have fun, being a pro Quidditch player meant that there was plenty to choose from.

There is a chance that it is one giant fear of commitment but at the same time Niels these days doesn't want to bring someone else down with him. He is scared that one day his darkness will consume him so he does the best he can to stay afloat. That means having his confidence as a crutch. His slick words and charming smile mask all of his daemons.

Father:Alek Rygh

Others: Leif (son), deceased 
Birth Place: Oslo, Norway
Overall History: Growing up was nothing that different for Niels. He was the eldest child and looked over his two younger sisters. They were a little magical family and everything seemed to be great. Honestly if anyone where to ask he would just say it was boring. There was nothing to really account for except maybe the one time he broke his nose falling out of a tree, Or when he broke his leg falling off a broom because he was just to curious. And then there was the time he almost shattered his elbow while sledding. Okay...well he was a bit accident prone and being a magical child didn't lesson the hazards.

He did make it to eleven without much of an issue and was the one to lead the way with going to Durmstrang. He studied fine and did well in classes despite really only being looked at as a "jock" of sorts. He was a skilled Quidditch player. Along with the sport he showed his ability as a animagus. When he gradated he made it into Norway's national team.

Through the years he played it up as a beater. Niels was not the biggest but he was fierce and strong. He was having fun being young and playing his sport. It was a great ride until he had a little too much fun. Niels ended up with a child from one night the was filled with lust and alcohol. He never did commit to the woman, it didn't seem like the right plan. The man had friends that did that and hated the situation they found themselves in. Niels did, however, commit to the child. Leif was the light of his life. Unfortunately his work and the fact that the boy did have to share time between his parents didn't give him much time with the boy.


Tragedy struck Niels truly for the first time when Leif was twelve. His son killed himself and only left a note that said in shaky sacred letters that said "I'm sorry that I coudn't be the son you wanted.". He stared at that note day in and out for a month. Niels had a hard time not taking it personally.It was on his watch the note left in the bedroom that he had made and kept for his son. Once everything was taken care of, the funeral, packing up his stuff Niels never spoke to the woman who mothered his child again.

When he went back to his team Niels was more reckless than he used to be. He played harder and it wasn't in the best way. It got too much for his coach, and unfortunately Niels had nothing to lose. He was traded to a different team. The Alexandria team. The change might have been good for him but he was furious at first. Niels was a man who loved his snow and his country and now he had to go to Egypt of all places. The change didn't make his playing any less reckless.

While he was in Egypt he me a woman. Naomi. She was everything that he didn't need. She was like a fire. Alluring and beautiful. She was also dangerous. Her words were like acid. They stung, but he wanted all of it. And he had her for a night. They were each other and everything for one amazing night. He should have walked away and quit her like Niels had done with every other woman in his life. Somehow he couldn't he needed those eyes that seemed to look right through him and the smile that made his chest tighten.

Life would be the thing that took him away from Naomi. One game Niels took a hit to his arm. It snapped his arm, being his elbow the wrong way. There was no recovering from what happened and he was sent back home to Oslo. He had lost his son and his career and what little life he had managed to gathered after his great life tragedy. Even if it had been a handful of years sense Lief left him and it was still like salt to the wound.

He spent some time wondering around lost. Eventually he figured that picking himself back up was the only option. He couldn't be sad for a life time. Niels managed to get himself a teaching job at Durmstrang and finally he felt like it was a place he was meant to be. It was like he had a second chance. This way he could possibly be there for a child, and maybe save them from themselves.

When the position opened up for headmaster Niels went for it as another way to hopefully help out someone. He had no other calling, his elbow never got strong enough to get back on a broom and play. If he was going to do something he was going to do it right. The attitude he had seemed to be what the school needed and he got the job. Now he is just hoping that he can do the title and himself justice.
