Born November 22, 2012, Dover, England,
Corius or Coryn (nickname given to Coriolanus by his mother), was a pure-blood wizard raised by his parents on the outskirts of Dover Castle in a simple but cozy family estate in Victoria Park. From an early age, his parents were concerned about his quiet and reserved behavior, While out of sight of his parents, he was always up to some mischief. Although from time to time the little boy would show inexplicable outbursts of anger and lock himself in his room on the third floor. His grandmother associated this behavior with Clair and Neil's relationship. Even so, at his best, Corius had a pleasant and sweet personality with the people around him.
At the age of seven, his grandmother Beatrice adopted him and took him to London to be educated by her. Corius spent the next few years being educated as best he could to get into Hogwarts.

Corius was born the son of Neil Minyard and Clair J. Minyard, a boy with light skin and black hair, his brown eyes reminiscent of those of his grandmother. His father was a wizard descended from a long line of Aurors who eventually retired too soon to live a quiet life in Dover at Clair's request shortly after Corius' birth. Clair was an excellent historian and great with herbology. Although Neil was a great duelist, Clair feared Neil's dangerous job - which motivated her to convince her husband while she was pregnant that it would be better for the family if he got some more bureaucratic and less dangerous position within the section. And so Neil did, asked for a transfer of positions and moved with Clair to Dover where they could educate Corius in a quiet environment.
Corius's early childhood years at Dover were quiet. As a baby, Clair took him out into the countryside for sunlit picnics and ice cream parlors, while his father spent most of his time stuck to piles of documents on his desk in the ministry. Corius grew up surrounded by green fields and beaches; Thanks to the fact that they were the only wizards in the region, he had no company with other children and his mother felt that it was unwise to allow him to play with Muggle children as she tried to keep her family's privacy as much as possible, for the sake of safety. For this reason, Corius used to play alone in his garden or ask his mother to read him a book.

First instance of Magic

During the summer of 2019, at the age of seven, while playing with violets in the garden, Corius went beyond the grounds of his house to the garden of the neighbors next door, in search of a runaway kitten; But both he and the cat were greeted by a rabid dog, during a nervous peak he ended up throwing the dog on the fence without touching the animal. The episode ended up being caught by his neighbor who had to be obliviated by Neil. This occasion was marked by Clair and Neil as Corius' first accidental magic..

While the days at Dover seemed perfect, this was just the tip of the iceberg that was about to pierce the already shaken structure of the Minyard family. Neil and Clair fought constantly in their room when Corius wasn't around to listen. Neil hid secrets about his work and spent less time athome. Some time after the seventh birthday of Corius, Neil had been chased and attacked by surprise by a vampire, which cost him his life. The loss caused Clair to succumb to grief, Beatrice judged Clair incapable of caring for her grandson Corius was taken by her to London.

The Rt. Honourable Mrs. Beatrice R. Minyard was an inflexible and very demanding matriarch, attached to tradition. She had been a great journalist in the past and inherited from her late husband the property where she lived with her other grandson: Jacob. She lived a reserved life and barely left her home; although her had an eccentric style that contrasted with her own personality. This was the beginning of the most darkest years of Corius' childhood, who was forbidden by Beatrice to visit her mother. Beatrice claimed that her daughter-in-law, now the widow of the deceased Neil, had succumbed so much to grief that she had not been able to stay sane and that she had gone mad. That it would be better for Corius that he accepted reality and moved on.
.
.
Corius then gradually became close friends with Jacob Nathan Minyard, his uncle's son. Jacob was older and stronger, a fanatic of dueling and Quidditch. His blonde appearance and grandeur reminded him more of the Minyard side than the appearance of Corius - who had inherited the Josten traits from his mother. Jacob seemed to be someone very proud and hardened by life, taught Corius all about the surname he carried:
MINYARD
A once notorious line of Aurors that fell out of favor during the first and second wizarding wars. Legend has it that the Minyards were once great English warriors who ended up expelled from society for witchcraft. But the fact is that many had died heroically and others imprisoned. But real misfortune put an end to the Minyards when his grandfather lost the rest of what was left of the Minyard treasury in debt. There was nothing left but property in Chelsea and a simple amount from the sale of works of art and jewelry that they had been in the possession of the family for generations until then..
Still resentful of what she considered the failure of her older son Neil, Beatrice raised Corius with an iron fist, projecting into his two grandsons, Coriolanus and Jacob, the only hope she had of seeing the name Minyard cleared again.
