Quillian "Quill" Reis is the fraternal twin of Ethelwald Reis. They were left to an orphanage after birth and their parentage is unknown. Both were schooled at Castelobruxo in Brazil.

Early Life (1973-1983)
In 1973, twins Ethelwald and Quillian Reis were born. Five months after their birth, they were found abandoned in a house when a neighbor, who had not heard from the parents in several days, checked in on the house. The neighbor found the children starving and near death, and took them to Lotus Orphanage in Brazil. They were treated and cared for and slowly regained their health.

Around their first birthday, the caregivers noticed peculiarities about the children. Whenever one cried, the other would, too. When one was hungry, the other would be as well. At first, they passed it off as the children were close and empathetic with one another. Nothing else odd happened for several years. At age seven, the twins’ abilities increased. They knew when the other one was hurt, or upset, or happy. They finished each other’s sentences without hesitation. At night, when the caregivers would check on them, they’d find the two children in the same bed together, staring at one another as if speaking, but both completely silent.

One caregiver, Ana, began to suspect they might have, what she called, “otherworldly abilities.” She had dealt with such children before and sent word to a connection she had in the magic school, Castelobruxo, in the Amazon rainforest. The twins were visited by the instructor from Castelobruxo and found to have early inclinations for Legilimency. When the children turned ten, they were taken to the school and permanently housed there, where they received a general magical education, as well as specialized training in Legilimency.

Castelobruxo (1983-1990)
Under instruction at Castelobruxo, their abilities flourished. Ethel and Quill began to be able to read each other’s emotions and sense what the other was thinking. They could tell what the other needed and felt the other’s pain when they were hurt. Quillian began to be able to gauge his sister’s goals and feelings through eye contact.

At first, when their instructors began to have them try their abilities on other people, it did not work. Their connection with one another did not seem to extend to others. Still, their instructors pressed on. Quill became interested in the lies people told; big or small, white lies, dark lies. The sort of lies people told to protect people. Lies they told to cover things up. He began to study the way people moved, breathed, spoke when lying. The little details would always give it away. A twitch, a gesture… When he began to try to use his abilities to read others, it worked, but only barely. He could only get a sense, somewhere deep in his gut, and nothing more. His sister, however, began to push herself far harder than him to extend her abilities. He could see she was destroying herself and tried to get her to stop. Ethel would not listen to reason. Her instructors eventually found their close relationship to be distracting from their studies and decided to separate them. They were placed in different, distanced parts of the school and were not allowed to see one another. Being as close as they were, this was devastating for Ethel and Quill. Quill fought tooth and nail against his instructors to try to reunite with his sister. He could not read her or sense her this far away. It left him feeling isolated. He hated it and his schoolwork suffered because of it. It was as if a part of him had been severed. After much time had passed, he learned that he would be reunited with his sister once more. When they were together again, he noticed she was different. She was more perceptive and sensitive than he remembered her being. She echoed people around her. Quill found it unsettling, but tried to not let it deter from their relationship. They grew even closer, as their abilities were strongest when with each other.

From fifth year and on, they began to focus in on a career choice. Their instructors suggested becoming Aurors in Britain. It was the best Auror program in Europe and their abilities in Legilimency could be of great use in combating Dark witches and wizards. They focused in on their studies and earned the Castelobruxo equivalent of N.E.W.T.s in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions. From his fifth to seventh year, Quillian became interested in Charms, specifically, and earned an O in that while his sister only earned an Exceeds Expectations.

Once graduated from Castelobruxo, the two moved to London and began the training and hiring process to become Aurors.

The Recent War (May 1998)
Being an Auror during the Second Wizarding War was intense work. The twins were working around the clock to attempt to thwart Voldemort, catch his followers, locate missing people, etc. During the Thicknesse Administration, they kept to themselves and did not always show up to work, for fear of being questioned about their lineage. With no trace to their birth parents, they had no way of proving they were not Muggleborn. During the height of the war, the twins forged fake parentage to “prove” their blood status. Ethel located the people and Quill modified their memories. This allowed them to keep their jobs.

The twins participated in the Ministry coup at the end of the final battle. They helped apprehend suspects, round up the children, etc. The two earned their spots as Aurors under the New Order and retained their jobs after reform took place.

Quill was of great help to senior Aurors. Though his ability to detect lies was weak at best, it was something. It helped to sort the truth tellers from the potential liars. Of course, anyone who may have been trained to control their bodies and minds in an effort to conceal lies would have escaped him. When not aiding other Aurros, he was comforting his sister, who was experiencing the tumultuous emotions of those around her.

Auror Training (1990-1995)
After moving to London, Quill and Ethel began the training process for Aurors. Upon discovery of their abilities, they were accepted immediately, and were trained.

Shop Worker (1991-1995)
Quill worked in his sister’s Herbology shop and assisted her with. He handled all charms associated with plants, kept the shop in working order, tended to customers, etc. After the shop was destroyed in 1995, he took to studying charms and attempting to invent new ones at his home with his sister.

Auror (1995-Present)
Once they completed their training, they were each given an Auror position. Since this was during the crux of the Second Wizarding War, Aurors were very much needed, as there was so much to be done. They were thrown into it all head first and learned to handle themselves amongst all the other senior Aurors.
