Zaire would love to become the next Voldemort, though he would never make the mistakes that Voldemort made. He would never have left any sort of opening to be defeated like the Dark Lord did. He would also love to see the world rid of muggles and muggleborn, even if not by his own hand.

Red wine, cinnamon, smoke, lemons, honey, oranges
boggart:
dying before getting to see the world become a better place for wizard-kind
overall personality:
Zaire really doesn't care. About you or anyone else. He doesn't care who your family is, he doesn't care who you think you are. He frankly doesn't care. Because above all else, there are two things that have remained true. 1. He's more influential than you ever were or ever will be. 2. He refuses to be like anyone you've ever met. Zaire is pureblood superiority without all of stuffy pureblood society rules. He never really cared for the whole mingle and stick together with other pureblood society members, even if they are beneath you. Zaire doesn't care for all of the networking especially if considers you beneath him. He's definitely not afraid of telling you that you're beneath him either and he'll point out your flaws without any hesitation. He isn't one of exaggeration though which makes the insult bite just a little more, it's the truth.
The one contradicting thing about Zaire though is that if you're fun to be around, despite how incompetent you are, if you make him laugh and you make him feel good he'll keep you around. He might tell others how incompetent you are when you aren't around, but when you are near he'll be happy to hang out with you, laugh and joke around all he wants. Another interesting fact about him is that Zaire if very fond of animals, specifically magical creatures. He won't stand for others talking about about magical creatures or demonizing them when its uncalled for.

history:
Birth
Zaire Shafiq was born to two very successful purebloods who planned out his birth down to the very day they wanted him to be born on. After consulting with an Astrologer, they were prepared to usher in the new generation of the House of Shafiq. His mother always told him that she had gone into labor with him a day earlier than they'd planned but she made sure that he was born on the appropriate day. He was dream baby, quieter than normal. His mother as well as his nanny would get worried at times and have to check on him to make sure he was still breathing because he didn't really cry when he was hungry or when he needed to be changed. They eventually created a schedule for themselves to check on him and to make sure that his needs were met.
Childhood-First Year
Zaire's quietness continued for a good bit of his childhood. He kept busy all by himself, playing with a toy or two one his own. He began to exhibit magical ability just before his third birthday, often changing the size of his toys or making them float around the room. Both of his parents were proud though not surprised as they both said they'd exhibited abilities around the same age. His parents also taught him of his superiority as a pureblood. They instilled in him pureblood ideology as well as an immense hatred of all muggle and muggleborn kind while pitying those of halfblood descent. Some magical blood was better than none and they were of some use though pureblood families who did breed with them were often desperate and were probably already of lower socioeconomic status anyway. It wasn't until around the age of seven that he began to show a more rebellious and more blunt personality. His parents had brought him to a betrothal meeting with another pureblood family. They'd told him all about the girl and the family before the dinner began and how important it was to their family. At the beginning of the meeting, it was the parents who mostly talked. Zaire had kept his head down in his plate, eating with grace of course as not to embarrass his parents. When both parents pushed for both children to talk with one another, they weren't expecting what he said. He looked up at the girl and told her that for someone with pureblood her looks were on par with a mudblood. The silence was painful. The girl began to cry, the parents balked. What he found funny was that his parents didn't even pretend to apologize for his words. They did apologize for him embarrassing their daughter as such but not for what he said. Once the family had been ushered out, his father told him that he should try and be better at censoring himself when it came to things like betrothals or he may end up with the short end of the stick when it came to wives. He shrugged it off. He wasn't sure he wanted a wife. After that event, his parents kept him out of most of the meetings in regards to his betrothed. It was around the time that he received his Hogwarts letter that his parents announced to him that hey had successfully negotiated his betrothal to another prominent pureblood family and that he would more than likely meet her while he was at school. Upon his entrance into Hogwarts, he found himself trying to avoid all of the girls who approached him just in case they were the one his parents had told him about. After going through the sorting hat ceremony and being sorted into Slytherin, which was no surprise to him, he went and sat down at the Slytherin table. A few of his housemates gave him claps on the back in unity a he continued to watch the rest of the sorting ceremony with disinterest. A little while later, a girl came and sat directly next to him. She proceeded to give him a once over, then turned her head with as much disinterest as he'd shown, giving her attention to the person on the other side of her. He knew it had to be her. He found himself smirking. She wasn't anything like he'd imagined. And what a surprise that was.
Second Year-Fourth Year
His time at Hogwarts was interesting. He didn't really care for academics, why would he when he was the heir to Shafiq Industries, his father's company. He did discover a love for magical creatures during his second year. It quickly became his favorite class right along with potions; potions came naturally to him with parents who both worked in the potions industry. He wanted to find a way to combine the two, using potions to enhance the abilities of magical creatures or creating potions to isolate the abilities of magical creatures and give them to wizard-kind temporarily. Another interesting thing to happen was that he became close friends with his betrothed. Theodosia Washington was fun, funny, interesting, intelligent, and she knew her place in the world. She wasn't like any of the other Slytherin women. Theodosia seemed completely flawless. He liked that. A lot actually. Come third year he realized he may like it more than just a lot. He decided that he didn't mind so much that he was betrothed to her. He looked forward to having her as his second in command. That was until she told him she wasn't interested in him or their engagement. He laughed it off in front of her and agreed, teasing her and telling her that she was the last person he wanted to marry. In private, he pondered on the whys. In fourth year, he realized he loved her.
Now
When the attacks on the muggleborn students happened, Zaire was not phased. He sneered knowing that they were being targeted specifically because they were muggleborn. He knew something big was coming and he knew he wanted to be a part of it. He was approached to become a member of the Purifiers and he gladly accepted. Now in his fifth year in Hogwarts and with his position solidified, he wants to do more. He knows that it's just a matter of time before he's approached to head a mission or two. Why not utilize their best asset?
