Credence Barebone[3] was an American wizard who lived during the 20th century.[4][5] He was the adopted son of Mary Lou Barebone, who was the leader of the New Salem Philanthropic Society, a No-Maj anti-witchcraft group.[4][5]

Credence had two adoptive sisters, Chastity and Modesty Barebone. He lived with them and his adoptive mother in New York city in 1926. Credence was the eldest, followed by Chastity and then Modesty.[6]

Credence was an Obscurial, a wizard who developed a magic parasitical force, also known as an Obscurus, created through the repression of magic. While most Obscurials die before their tenth birthday, Credence lived into adulthood which was previously unheard in wizardkind and a possible testament of his latent power.

EARLY LIFE

Credence was born to an unnamed witch, but was later adopted by Mary Lou Barebone, the leader of the New Salem Philanthropic Society or Second Salemers, a No-Maj anti-witchcraft group. Mary Lou considered his mother a "wicked, unnatural woman". Mary Lou abused Credence physically, often beating him with a belt that left marks on his hands. The abuse he suffered forced him to suppress his magic and ultimately he developed an Obscurus, a powerful magical parasite.
