REVAMP IN PROGRESS
We thank you for your patience with the on going changes.
On a regular day to day biases the family looks relatively normal. Sure, they are a large family with a lot of children, but beyond that nothing stands out as being anything less than ordinary.
A small portion of the children still go to school, and the graduates all have a job of some sort. Tragen and Ignatious gave up leadership of the family to pursue a dream of owning and running a magical creature reserve, which by now has been going strong for a number of years. Hale works at the circus with his small family (Yes we have finally convinced mum that the circus qualifies as a job!). Logan, when he is not off getting lost around the world while trying to seek out injured creatures or creatures in need, works with his eldest two brothers at the reserve. Upon graduation in 2028, Verity happily stepped up to take over the family in Tragen's absence, her twin brother graduated with her and has not been seen since. Meanwhile, following the loss of her husband, Mary continues to run the family, carries on the Socialite lifestyle, and overseeing the legitimate import and export aspects of the family business.
The family also strives to take part in as many fund raisers as possible, along with owning two charities, the first dedicated to fresh graduates with little to no money and struggling to keep a place to live in, and the second being the newer charity dedicated to injured and mistreated magical creatures.
Simply put, Wizarding Mafia!
Their primary work being import and export of darker magical artefacts with no proof of this provided, as well as trafficking. Other work includes but is not limited to, murder and extortion, corruption of public leaders and officials, fencing, and theft. Very few people outside of the family know about this side of the family business, and even within the family it is hidden to most family members beyond the Heir's direct line.
Even within the Heir's direct line, not all family members are included in this work, either by choice, or other alternatives. Obviously, any underage children are left out, and even though it is highly encouraged for them to join in following their graduation, it is not forced upon them.
This is currently being run by Mary Ashworth while also selling potions of all sorts that she creates from her own greenhouse to the black market, but Verity has decided to step in and take over upon her graduation, since her four older brothers have turned away from it.

We are happy to connect our story with just about anyone, reach out to us if you have a neat idea and think it could potentially run wild with ours.
If you want to have your character know of the Criminal Underworld information, you can also reach out to that for us. Otherwise, we know exactly who knows that side of our story, and who can safely share that information and who cannot.
