Biography

Early life

While being educated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Damocles was a favourite student of Horace Slughorn, the Potions master, who remarked that he was an "outstanding" wizard. He may have been a member of the Slug Club and probably obtained a high graded O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. in Potions.

Later life

After graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Damocles went on to become a Potioneer and invented the Wolfsbane Potion sometime after the mid-1970s. This potion, made up mostly of Aconite, was able to relieve (but not cure) the effects of Lycanthropy. Damocles had a nephew, Marcus Belby, who stated that his uncle and father did not get along. As such, Damocles had little contact with his relatives, and was not very well known to his nephew Marcus. This is probably why Marcus failed to be accepted into the Slug Club.
