The founder of Enigmus House was Englebert Enigmus (1611-1707), oldest and wisest of the four Avistrum founders. Enigmus was born in the Jamestown colony, and lived his entire life (aside from his education in Britain from 1622-1629) in the New World. Enigmus was an excellent potions master, and rarely used his wand. Englebert was widely regarded as a clever and wise wizard. He served as the first Headmaster of Avistrum until his death in 1707.
Enigmus valued intelligence and wisdom above all other traits in his students, and Enigmuses are known for that to this very day. The symbol of Enigmus House is the sphinx, the legendary half-woman, half-lion who challenged travelers with a riddle.
Enigmus House is currently led its house ghost, Lady Viola Fey.
