got N.E.W.T.s in DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Potions and Arithmancy

a smart boi

joined the first Order of the Pheonix just after graduating as an Auror when he was 21

it was very shortly before the end of the first wizarding war

trained under Rufus Scrimgeour (very few people trained under Mad-Eye, because he's so well sought after and he's very paranoid about who to trust and to train)

did prove himself to Alastor eventually though, and they became good friends

i think he may have even been a DADA teacher one year during the time between the wars bur then returned to his Auror job

he encouraged Tonks to become an Auror despite everyone telling her she isn't fit for the job

was close with Frank and Alice Longbottom and often joined them on Auror mission

helped Tonks when she was worried about failing her Auror examinations

was the leading expert on Muggle Studies in the Auror office, which is why it was him who was sent to become the muggle prime ministers personal body guard

had a nice bond with Hermione, she often goes to him for advice on her career and personal life too

completely changed the ministry of magic's attitude to the wizarding world

he got rid of any laws that enabled blood supremacy, racism, classism and predudice about muggles
