De la Mothe (family)

A once-prominent Wizarding family who founded the House of the Moth, a wizarding school in Detroit that is no longer functional. After the Detroit Cataclysm in 1967, the family fell from grace and prominence.

Since the Detroit Cataclysm, the de la Mothes have had problems with their magic (“the curse of the moth”) which seems to have been passed down through the family. Multiple members of the family have experienced problems executing spells.

The de la Mothes have recently made an effort to gain a greater presence in the government, and have poured much of their fortune into MIT, especially the MAGE program. The patriarch of the family and former headmaster of the Maison is currently the acting headmaster (besides Virgil) of MIT. A de la Mothe also leads the liberal faction of the government.
