Personal History: It was no wonder, really, that Chullainn Téadóir Quigley had an ego to match his name. Being the only – not to mention long-awaited – son to his parents, after seven daughters, he was named after one of Ireland’s heroes: Cu Chullainn. Add to that, that Téadóir means ‘divine gift’, it gives a fairly clear picture of Chullainn’s place in his parents’ hearts. He was the one to carry on the Quigley name, as well as take over the family estate, outside Knocknahur, Sligo in Ireland, whereas the daughters were to be married off to wizards of proper standards and preferably proper genealogy as well.

Like every other member of his family, young Chullainn was sent to Scotland to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was sorted into Ravenclaw. He thrived at school, applied himself in his studies, and enjoyed the attention and adoration of his fellow students.

During his seventh year, his eyes caught the fair Hufflepuff Eimer. A beautiful Irish girl, who was a year younger than Chullainn. She, however, wasn’t particularly impressed by either Chullainn’s charms, background, wealth, or even Chullainn himself. Despite great efforts, it would take Chullainn four years before Eimer would even consider giving him a chance at proving himself. By then, he had proven to her, that he was willing to work hard to get what he wanted, a trait that Eimer found irresistible in a wizard.

From that point in time, things happened fast. Within a couple of months, Chullainn and Eimer were married, and after a year, their son – Ailfrid Diarmaid Quigley – was born. Ailfrid, it turned out, had his father’s hunger for knowledge, and his mother’s knack for hard work, and soon, he was out of Hogwarts, and well on his way in preparing for his role as the heir of the Quigley estate.

Chullainn and Eimer were happy to see how successful their son was in his endeavours, as they themselves were getting older and preparing for their own roles as the parents behind. They were in their mid-forties, when Eimer was working on the preparations for Ailfrid’s upcoming wedding, when her seamstress hinted that she was gaining weight quite a bit faster than what was appropriate for a lady of her position. Despite her efforts to keep the weight-problem from evolving, Eimer wasn’t successful, and a week before the wedding of her son, she gave birth to Finbar Dáithí Quigley, a surprise – though far from unwelcome – addition to the family.

Finbar, much like his brother, was hungry for knowledge and eager to learn right from the start. However, he possessed an energy that made it hard for him to sit still for long stretches at a time. During the short periods of time he managed to sit still and read, he managed to pick up everything he read, and when his parents had had enough of him storming and flailing through the manor to release his excess energy, he would be sent outside. One day, his father handed him a bat and told him that if he really had to hit something, he would prefer it to be charmed orbs rather than the antique suits of armour in the hall.

Having seen his father setting the orbs floating and flying about several times, Finbar had picked up the magic behind it, though he was still too young to do it on his own. That changed right after he turned eleven and he had enrolled at Hogwarts. His very first charm cast as a student of the school, was the one to make his orbs fly about, after he had had to sit through the entire sorting ceremony with the following banquet.

Professor Flitwick, his head of House, was very impressed with his immediate skills, and encouraged him to keep working, both on his abilities with charms and spells, as well as his talents with a bat. When it came time for the firstyears to begin practicing flying their brooms, Finbar found yet another way for him to challenge himself and use up his energy.

During classes he was student that was hard to miss. Always eager for a discussion, he paid attention to what was taught, so as to make sure and have the right arguments in order. Out of class, he applied himself too, immediately learning the system of the library so he wouldn’t waste time when searching for information, and always finishing his school work as fast as possible, leaving him more time to work with his broom, orbs and bat, as well as exploring the grounds to find new and better places for… anything, really.

His efforts didn’t go unnoticed, and in his second year he took up the position as Beater for Ravenclaw’s House team, yet another thing for him to focus his energy on. It paid off, and in his fifth year, he became the Captain of the team.

He left Hogwarts with outstanding grades, for a career as professional Quidditch players. He had been spotted by and had signed with the Falmouth Falcons. The team never really became his cup of tea. Despite sharing a common ambition for winning, he did not share the temperament of the team, and as soon as the opportunity presented itself, he signed with a different team.

His new team was the Ballycastle Bats, with whom he clicked immediately. Here he found the challenges and opportunities he needed to fully prove himself, and two months before the Quidditch World Cup in 1994, he became a player on the Irish National Team. This was also the year, he became the Captain for the Bats, a position very suiting of him, as it gives him the opportunity to prove his points, discuss and argue, but most likely because that’s where the real limelight is.

When the war broke out, and with it the closing down of the British Quidditch League, Finbar took off, spending the next five years travelling and exploring, with his base in his family’s Swiss residence on the bank of Lake Geneva. Now that peace has settled, Finbar has given into the call of Annwn, which he now sees as his new base for more explorations and adventures.
