Credence Barebone (allegedly born Aurelius Dumbledore; c. 1901) was American wizard who lived during the 20th century. He was adopted by Mary Lou Barebone, the leader of a No-Maj anti-witchcraft group called the New Salen Philantropuc Society. Due to the repression of his magic, Credence developed a dark parasitic force known as an Obscurus and became an Obscurial. While most Obscurials die before their tenth birthday, Credence lived into adulthood, which was peeviously unheard of in the wizarding world, and a testament of his increadible power.
