Waylon is a spirited by reserved young fellow – a Southern gentleman with a painful past and a lot to prove. He'd much rather smile and hug his friends than to dwell on the mysteries of his life. As head boy, he can often be found in the Prefects' Lounge or delegating younger prefects across campus. In class, he is usually quiet, if not stubborn. During school functions, he prefers to take a background role – on the sidelines or backstage. His relationship with the professors have generally been a bit more fiery, but his commitment to honest work and love for his classmates have always been points of admiration. In the summer of his 4th year, he helped collect firewood for the dormitories – manual labor is something he cherishes.

It's not that he's particularly afraid of sharing inner secrets, or that he cannot articulate his sentiments. Simply put, he feels no reason to share either way – if someone asks, he'll answer, but he'll not interrupt others' lives with his own. At least, not on purpose. Academically, he's not necessarily or particularly intellectual; he does find himself in the library in his freetime, but his effort and endurance speaks more praiseworthy than his actual grade.
Besides being the Head Boy and prefect, he is also the keeper for the Cervus quidditch team. It's a position he's only held a few years, and not one he's particularly established in. Oftentimes, he's blamed several losses on his own lack of effort.
A half-blood, he finds himself more enamored with his muggle background than his mother's witchy ancestry. That being said, he has found himself formidable and versatile across the spectrum of magical social circles.

Waylon Willard Wolfsbach III was born in Wolfsbach, TX to his father, and namesake, and Agatha Wolfsbach née Penn, the largest ranch owners north of the Nueces River. The Wolfsbach family were pioneers in the early days of the Republic of Texas, Austrian subjects who fled Europe to escape persecution and war. The family led a large contingency of Austrians to the present-day location of Wolfsbach, TX, named after their forefather and founder – Wilhem von Wolfsbach.
The city of Wolfsbach is a small community located in the far corner of the Texas hill country. The Wolfsbach family, though no longer as prominent as they once were, are still important leaders in the city. Waylon's father, Waylon, Jr. is the head of the House Wolfsbach and owner of the Ranch Wolfsbach, just outside the city. Waylon's uncles include the mayor of Wolfsbach, the local Catholic priest, and several business owners. Despite being a son of a proud Texas clan, it's his mother's side that is of the most interest.
The Penns are Anglos who have almost as much influence in the town's history as the Wolfsbach themselves. The Penns were pureblood wizards who had fled New England during the Witch Trials, and finally became integrated members of the Wolfsbach community during the Reconstruction Era. With dynastic ties to wizards and witches in Philadelphia, Boston, and New Orleans, the Penns have become the most respected wizards in the Southwestern United States.

Waylon's mother, Agatha, passed on her gift to her son, and ensured he was safe to practice behind closed doors. For most of his life, Waylon recalls magic on Fridays with his mother's family, and Mass on Sunday with his father's. The union between Wolfsbachs and Penns was not a harmonious one, however. For a time, brutal politics threatened to tear the community apart, even so much as to amount to violence.
At the young age of 7, Waylon's mother was found on the banks of the Newenns River – drowned and chained to a boulder. Waylon's father raised cain throughout the county, rustling up his own kind until he found his wife's murderer. Though the time was very stressful and hard on Waylon, his father feared that the worst was only just about to begin. When the time came, he sent his boy to study at Magnus Grex – where he would be safe to follow in his mother's footsteps.
Over the years, life has gotten relatively easier for Waylon. His father proved to be a force to be reckoned with and now Wolfsbach is a decently safe place to be a wizard. Waylon is in his final year at Magnus Grex, and was anointed the first Head Boy from Cervus in over a decade.
