• Character Description

  Pink rosy cheeks settle on this old man's face. White hair under an old cap and a fine mustache under his nose, this old man has gone through a lot in his almost eighty years of living. Dark blue trousers and a cream-colored shirt fit snug under the black sweater vest of Sir Papadopoulos. Slumping at 5'7" on his wooden cane, this hazel eyed Greek old man limped his way towards the Quidditch pitch, murmuring about the next set of brats he had to teach.

• Personality

  Nikolos is a grumpy old man. He wasn't always grumpy, but after losing his ability to play Quidditch at a young age, losing his wife, and his kids leaving to do their own thing, he has a lot to be grumpy for. He generally likes to spend his time being alone outside with his donkey, Dino. If he was forced to socialize, Nikolos would rather spend it with the staff at Hogwarts or other adults than the children. When someone calls him "stubborn as a mule", it's really what defines him. He rarely changes his ways and his old age keeps him quite "country". He can be somewhat of a misogynist due to his upbringing (his mother, wife, and daughter ending up being housewives), but it would only show when he is under stress.
  
  Status - blood, house, or fame - doesn't even bother him. Nikolos will always judge students at first impression. He respects all of the Quidditch players on the field, but off the field, he's the same grumpy old man. Granted he doesn't like being away from home, but he likes being around flying and Quidditch.
  
  Nikolos holds a heavy punch with his wooden cane. One nasty remark or misdirection could send a student crying their way to the hospital wing. He uses his cane more than his wand in most cases when punishing students. He is always seen smoking his pipe outside, but never inside for the children's safety (not his words).
