PATRONUS His Patronus is the extinct American Lion one of the larger ones on record at the Ministry and one of the few examples of how they looked and how big they became (much larger then modern lions). They were known for control, being a main predator, and being respectfully feared by other creatures.
PERSONALITY
Originally an odd and fairly aggressive minded young man, the cracked skull and no healers did a number on Ajax's brain. Thus his concepts about morality have changed a bit, not surprisingly. Simplifying the rules about items banned in school is a good example. Before he would have found a way to post the items outside his new office in categories making it very easy to find things; now he has simplified it from a list to three simple sentences which allow him the ability to confiscate anything, long as he can reasonably show it is a problem. As well, knowing what the students are up to allows him to use the secret passageways to get places very fast as Mr Filch did.

However he uses it to scare the living sh!t out of students so they are not tempted to be out in the halls at night again.

While not a dark wizard and definitely a defender of young people and their freedom to grow as they like, he considers his job to be 'fun' and a chance to be wild when he chooses. While fair about his punishments (he would never use irons as Filch desired greatly) and understanding of hijinks, he might cross the edge sometimes in making sure his 'threatening' image as the guardian of the night time halls is well deserved. A few students might get a bit banged up and need the nurses attention for some light injuries, but he would use his own skills at healing for anything worse as he does understand about first responders' skills.

An intruder however who was out to hurt his charges might learn how to fly without a broom from a window however.

His free time is spent on his motorcycles as he likes the logical simplicity of a well running engine (though he has to take them down to Hogsmeade to check his work of course since muggle things do not work in the castle grounds) and when the students are keeping issues down to a low roar he is most likely to leave them alone, amused. Fixing problem children, however, remains a high priority on his list and the few who have crossed wands with him have learned to their chagrin that he is as good if not more dangerous then the professors themselves. As well as willing to use some fairly wicked magic in the halls...

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

HISTORY
Born in Wales to third generation immigrants from Italy, Ajax learned early on that controlling what happened around him was often impossible as adults wanted their own 'spin' on every element of his life. As he grew he became more and more convinced that his lot in life was to put himself in control as often as possible of his immediate environment. The surprise of his family's life (who had no idea there was a witch on his father's side back three generations) was very big, but for Ajax it was a relief as he had no interest in the business of making bread. Sorted into Gryffindor, he spent his years at Hogwarts delving deeply into DADA and Charms both becoming highly adapt at defenses and perceptiveness.

After school, he worked for a bodyguard service, security company, and a few other small jobs before he was involved in a serious highway collision with a truck. Unfortunately working as a muggle at the time, no one nearby was aware of his magical side and the reconstructive surgery by the muggle team was long and painful, involving a number of steel plates in his head as part of the work, turning much of the front part of his face to metal under the skin. The healer's he has gone to since were horrified, but were able to regrow much of his organic body around the new foundation. The before and after pictures however have changed his look tremendously. He also discovered that a number of 'piercing' could have magnets attached to them and he could stick them all over his face giving him a rather frightening appearance.

Halloween became his favorite holiday amongst the muggle community.

The accident however had cracked his skull and like many people after such heavy-duty recovery, his personality changed. In his case he became a bit darker, more intensive about his work. He began dressing a bit differently, exploring tattooing and how to charm them hidden in the daylight hours with special inks and charms. Hearing about the death of Argus Filch, he applied and gained the job of Caretaker, spending a summer of deep exploration of the building and not a small amount of delight in the solitude as well as pursuit of the Poltergeist Peeves in the late night hours. By the time school began again he had learned quite a bit about the place (as well as sent Filch's extensive files to long term storage and out of the office deeming it insanely ridiculous). His records on passageways however, proved extremely enlightening.

It has now been ten years.

RP EXPERIENCE? More then you want me to tell you again, I suspect :/
RP SAMPLE.

Stepping down to the mirror on fourth floor, Ajax tapped it with his wand three times as he whispered a password. He made sure to scan for ghosts first and that pesky Peeves, but Peeves had learned over the summer the new caretaker was odd and not prone to making many mistakes. The mirror popped open and he slipped behind it, closing it carefully. The circular stairway had landings every two floors down which went about twenty feet forward, moving (he assumed from the angles) through a front hallway wall section and then out between the two dungeon doors before straightening out into a long straight away. The passageway itself was the largest of the ones in the school and fairly extensive. He counted the steps again as he walked forward and when he arrived at the dead fall he wrote the number down in his book.

It had to be past the edge of the lake and under the forest edge. The old records showed it went out and ended in Hogsmeade (though it didn't say where) and he had spent about two weeks before the students returned making sure to build a wall and illusion to hide the fact he was digging out the debris farther along. It would take a very alert and careful student to find out the debris was about twenty feet closer to Hogwarts then before. moving the graffiti he had found near it had been a bit harder, but he had at least managed it before the students returned. Having a way in and out the students could not follow would be a good advantage for the staff, he believed. After he had tested it frequently for safety reasons of course.

He'd tell them eventually. Ajax smiled to himself.

Choosing the side away from the obvious beginning (in his mind at least) he closed his eyes and reached out, grasping the doorknob with the trick handle and doing the upwards pull to open the door he had secured in the wall for the illusion. Passing through it he closed it behind him, knowing that while the students weren't in the building but off on break & this was too far out of the school to be ghost territory, there was never a time to be careless.

He had two arches already firmly in place holding up the main tunnel access. He had vanished or transformed a good fifteen feet of the collapse into more stones for the third arch to come, as well as a sign built into the wall about the collapse and being careful in this area. If any students should find this, he wanted them to be warned the ceiling was unstable where he hadn't arched it yet. Lighting his wand, he tapped the lantern with the magnification lenses and it lit up brightly, showing forward to the blockage. Tapping the first few stones he saw, he rolled them down under the last arch to be used later and began vanishing away dirt, keeping an eye on the top area.

A crumble of dirt had him dodge back some and he waited a few minutes, turning the stones into block bricks for the next arch while he waited. He was no fool, he was in no rush to bury himself and had been doing some serious reading on tunnel construction. it might be slow and he might end up with three times more arches then he needed, but he was no fool. This was too valuable an opportunity to use, no matter where it came out...
