Life Before Ilvermorny
| “ | Who raised you? | ” |
– Geoff Webb | ||
| “ | You did. | ” |
– Dorian Webb | ||
Dorian's magic first appeared in the form of violent outbursts. He often got in trouble for hurting other little kids when they made fun of him because they heard their parents referring to his mother by unrepeatable names. Dorian took none of their actions lightly. When kids staggered into him, and bumped into him as they mocked his father by pretending to be drunk they usually hobbled away with fractured bones in their fingers or their toes. The injuries were never able to be connected to Dorian, and he never knew about them. All he knew was that he was delighted to see those same children with their casts on, or even better when he saw them strapped into a boot or being wheeled in chairs. His violent tendencies got a bit worse shortly before his mother, Priscilla, was taken away. Dorian caused another young man to sustain severe eye and brain injuries that will require 24-hour-a-day care for the rest of his life.
His father remarried barely a year later. His second wife was a woman he met while in recovery for his alcoholism. He met Helen Lundgren at an A.A. meeting, Helen brought her daughter, Shannon, into the relationship. Shannon is three years younger than Dorian, after they were married Geoff and Helen had a son, Shannon and Dorian's half-brother, Gordon. He became the glue in the family, Dorian was weary of Helen, and Shannon flat out disliked Geoff. Once Gordon was born they put all their differences aside, focusing all their attention on the baby. Dorian and Shannon were never close, even with Gordon as their common ground their conversations were usually minimal. They were both the only child before their parents married one another, before Gordon was born. It was easier to get used to a baby. Dorian rebelled magically to temporarily sharing a room with his step-sister, the pair were quickly separated.
Dorian was in a better place emotionally with Gordon, Shannon and Helen, in his life. This lead to a better state of mind, because of the abuse his suffered at the hands of his mother he was insecure. He became aggressive, and he lashed out for no reason. Dorian was typically quite which made his erratic behavior so terrifying to people. His father was considering relinquishing his rights until someone, at a liquor store, enlightened him they told him he needed to do right by his son. Geoff had gone in complaining about all the things Dorian has done, and was doing wrong, finally a patron chimed in to ask him what it was his son was doing right. Geoff was either stunned by the question itself or flabbergasted that someone had the gall to get in his face for something he said that had nothing to do with them. When Geoff returned home to Dorian that night he apologized for everything, and he quit drinking the next day.
Thunderbird
At age eleven Dorian began attending Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as he was living in the United States with his father at the time of his acceptance. He was Sorted into Thunderbird which was a disappointment to him because he wanted to be in Horned Serpent or Wampus, his Sorting was still extraordinary because Pukwudgie and Thunderbird both selected him as well. He found a love of Wandlore early, from the moment his wand chose him in fact. He was barely in the room for fifteen minutes before they all started to jostle. His Holly wand beat a few others to his hand. Needless to say the experience astounded him to no end. He spent the next several years reading obscure, and ancient wizarding textbooks. His interest in Wandlore lead to an interest in Herbology, which started him down the path to an apprenticeship with a Broom-maker. His knowledge of broom making inspired him to try out for a professional quidditch team.
When he graduated from Ilvermorny he started playing quidditch professionally where he earned the nickname The Spider. He began as a reserve Beater for the Sweetwater All-Stars out of Texas, and after three years he transitioned to playing as starting Chaser for the American National Quidditch team out of New England. Dorian "retired" from quidditch at 20 for personal reasons, he was offered a position as the team trainer for the American National team. He was unable to accept after completely losing his passion for the game. Along with his family, his father, his step-mother, step-sister, and half-brother he relocated to England for a something like a fresh start. At the behest of his father, and step-mother he has considered a 'more mature' career path. Doing anything beside play quidditch, and make brooms has never been on his radar. His fresh start has turned out to be more of a rock bottom for him, he feels lost and without purpose. Merry ol' England has not been at all what he expected it to be.

Personality
Audacious - Unconventional, Overadventurous, Insufferable, Brutal
He is a bit of a complicated mess. His mother used to beat him, and lead everyone to believe the young boy's bad behavior was the cause of his injuries. He acted out because his voice was not being heard, the one person in the world who was supposed to protect was doing the opposite. His father was no help in the situation constantly drunk or worse unconscious. Dorian was left to fend for himself when his mother became violent. His aggressive nature surface early, he has a tendency to become violent, and because he wants to be better he has stay in control of himself. He tries to channel his anger constructively by distracting himself with various hobbies. He is quick to come to the defense of anyone he thinks is in need, this includes a number of animals.

Relationships
| Family Member | Relationship with them |
| Father | Geoff was an alcoholic for over twenty years, it was not until he entered recovery that he and his son were able to have a relationship worth the time and effort needed to sustain it. |
| Mother | Priscilla was abusive in every sense of the word. She has done unspeakable things to her own son, many of which he has never had the courage to speak of. Her incarceration meant freedom for her son. |
| Stepmother | Helen was a monster to Dorian because from his own experience he knew how badly a mother could treat her child. When he learned about what she had done to Shannon, he did not feel pity or anger, he only worried for Gordon. |
| Step-sister | Shannon is so similar to Dorian in looks and personality they were confused for twins during the early stages of their parents marriage. Dorian loves her, he does. She is just so much like him she drives him crazy. |
| Half-brother | Gordon is beloved by the entire Webb family, in Dorian's mind no one more than him. He treats Gordon like he would treat his own son. He is willing to do whatever it takes to protect Gordon from their father's drunken demons. |
