In depth

Personality:
Rolf is a very easy going sort of man, he has always had a very open mind about the world and the things in it thanks in large part to the influence of his Grandfather. He's always had a certain respect for life and nature and the people around him - and it makes him very willing to trust and be friendly and accept things that seem strange to others.

Strengths: Rolf is obviously quite good with magical creatures of all kinds - those that most feel are completely real and those that others seem to think are just creatures of myth. He also has a certain insight into Luna, where others might find her strange and flighty he's found his wife to be so interesting and wonderful from the moment he met her.
Weaknesses: Rolf can get distracted with his work and it keeps him away from home probably far more often than it should, but he loves being able to leave when the opportunity arises and trust that his sons will be fine.

Physical Description:
Rolf is a well built man, though a bit small some might say. He's not overly muscular, despite his love and the amount of time spent in the outdoors. He's always pretty scruffy and cares more about what he is going next rather than what he looks like. Rolf puts far more weight on a person's personality and the way they carry themselves than the way they look, because looks can always be deceiving.

History

Rolf is the son of Artimus and Octavia Scamander, though the greatest influence on his life came from his grandfather Newt Scamander - from a young age Rolf had a very intense interest in Magical Creatures, and it was of course his best subject at Hogwarts. There was never any question in Rolf's mind as to what he wanted to do with his life after Hogwarts.

He had a bit of a nontraditional childhood, considering he came from a pureblood family. He spent more time outdoors hands in the dirt and on the trail than he did learning about responsibilities and proper manners. He can put on an act when he needs to, Rolf knows how to act when the need arises, though he usually doesn't care enough to try.

He was out of the country during the war, helping his Grandfather gathering new research across Europe.

Going to work on meeting Luna and their subsequent marriage with Shardan.

Rolf was just shy of his 29th birthday when his sons were born, and together with Luna they continued their traveling around the world when they needed to as they raised their sons. Rolf tried to pass on his intense love of nature to his boys though it seemed that they both took their own path in life - something that he would have always supported, and he is intensely proud of both his sons having made their way through Hogwarts and starting out in the world on their own.

It is a testament to just how much he trusts and respects his boys that he and Luna continue their traveling, trusting that they can take care of themselves and that they'll know they can go to their friends for help should they need it.
