"Salazar Slytherin
Medieval (precise dates unknown)
One of the four celebrated Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry, Salazar Slytherin was one of the first recorded
Parselmouths, an accomplished Legilimens, and a notorious champion of
pureblood supremacy"


Godric Gryffindor
Medieval (precise dates unknown)
One of the four famous Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry, Godric Gryffindor was the most accomplished dueller of his
time, an enlightened fighter against Muggle-discrimination and the
first owner of the celebrated Sorting Hat.
