Caerphilly natives for a century or so, the Keogh family name is familiar within

the wizarding village. Wizarding communities, in general, are close-knit, and Caerphilly, Wales is no exception. Just over a century ago the Keoghs made their way from rural Ireland to the blossoming village and have been there since. In the present day, the Keogh ancestral grounds are inhabited by Wyatt, Lillie-Mae, and their son Cyrus.

Wyatt Keogh is a proud family man. Scattered amongst his workplace personal

effects are various snapshots of the little family he calls his own. On Caerphilly Catapult gamedays, Wyatt can often be seen sporting team colours and carrying his son on his shoulders, equally covered in team wear. Family has always been an important thing to Wyatt. His son and wife are the most special and important things in his life. When Cyrus finally left for school, it was quite a sad day for Wyatt. After 11 years at home, his son was finally independent enough to head away for school and didn't need him anymore.

Lillie-Mae Keogh was dedicated to two things in her life: the creatures she worked

with and her family. Of these two, family, obviously, reigned supreme. It was one of the few things she held above all. A Hufflepuff to the core, Lillie-Mae was full of excitement and love for all. Creatures of many varieties, not only magical, could often be found surrounding her. She would nurse them back to health, mother the creatures, give them anything they needed to the best of her ability.

As previously mentioned, Cyrus' parents are fond of humor and lighthearted playfulness. Perhaps that is why their son first used his magic in such a manner. During a common game of "peek-a-boo" during Cyrus' early life, he managed to summon the corner of a nearby blanket and cover himself. The resulting surprise of his mother originally scared the toddler, but he soon recovered. The game continued, Cyrus occasionally managing to hide underneath the blanket before lifting it again.

Tall and lanky, Cyrus is easily found within a crowd of his peers. Wide blue eyes hide behind a curtain of curly brown hair. Cyrus has yet to grow out of his baby-fat and as such has a soft, round face.

Full of youth and playfulness, Cyrus is almost always willing to get into a little bit of trouble for the sake of a laugh. He values happiness and dedication while maintaining a stubborn and determined mindset. Once Cyrus decides to do something, there isn't going to be any stopping him. Despite his relatively easygoing and playful personality, Cyrus is quite devoted to his family for his age. As an only child Cyrus isn't known to misbehave besides a harmless prank here or there; he follows instructions more times than not, especially from his parents. That being said, humor is valued within the Keogh household and not often seen in a negative light as long as no one is harmed.
