So that, when my mother died, and I was left the responsibility of a damaged sister and a wayward brother, I returned to my village in anger and bitterness. Trapped and wasted, I thought! And then, of course, he came.

~ Dumbledore about his past
Background
Albus Dumbledore is a half-blood wizard, considered by many to be the most powerful wizard of all time. Born to Percival and Kendra Dumbledore, Albus was raised alongside his brother Aberforth and sister Ariana. His early life was struck with tragedy when her sister Ariana was attacked by a group of Muggle boys who saw her performing magic. She was left emotionally scarred by the attack, and her father attacked the boys in revenge. For this, Percival Dumbledore was sent to Azkaban, where he later died.
Early into his life, Albus befriended Gellert Grindelwald, who he developed a deep friendship with and began to love. The two young wizards shaped each other's ideas and beliefs. The two were entranced by the legends of the Deathly Hallows, yearning to become Masters of Death and to overturn the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and usher in a new age where wizardkind would rule over Muggles.
However, this became serious. When Aberforth became aware of this and confronted the two, a vicious three-way battle emerged, where it ended with Ariana dead on the floor. Grindelwald fled, and the two Dumbledore boys dwelled in regret and pain. Albus returned to Hogwarts to teach, eventually becoming a respected Defence Against the Darks Arts - later Transfiguration - teacher, while Grindelwald was buidling his army and revolution abroad. Across Europe, the first Wizarding War, known at the time as the Great Wizarding War, had begun.
As the war continued to build, Dumbledore delayed fighting Grindelwald until there wasn't any other choice, terrified that Grindelwald knew who it was that actually killed Ariana, as well as his intense love for Grindelwald. In 1945, at the peak of the global war, Dumbledore faced Grindelwald and initiated a battle that would go down in history as one of the greatest duels to have ever witnessed. Eventually, Grindelwald was defeated and Dumbledore took the first Deathly Hallow, the Elder Wand, for himself.
By the 1960s, Dumbledore became the Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was highly respected by his peers, students and parents. When the dark wizard Lord Voldemort started his first rise to power, Dumbledore created and lead the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organisation of witches and wizards ready and willing to fight Voldemort and his Death Eaters. He was a vital part in leading the forces of good in the First Wizarding War.
The war ended on Halloween night, during 1981, when Voldemort was defeated for the first time by Harry Potter. Knowing that Voldemort wasn't vaniquished for good, Dumbledore ensured Harry was raised at his aunt and uncle's household, making sure that Harry would keep his mother's protection until he came of age. Unbeknownst to most, Dumbledore secretly planned to allow Voldemort to kill Harry in the end, which would destroy the piece of Voldemort's soul in Harry and help ensure he could be vanquished for good.
Throughout Harry's years at Hogwarts, Dumbledore acted as a mentor and father figure to the boy, helping him through difficult problems and assisting him on his mission to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. Unfortunately, at the age of 115, Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape. His death was planned in advance with Snape, as Albus was being slowly killed over the course of the year by a cursed ring. He continued to assist Harry post-mortem, including telling Harry everything he had not while both were in Limbo.
Dumbledore's legacy was carried through Harry to his second son, who he named Albus Severus Potter, in honour of Dumbledore and Snape, those who protected him all his life.
Durability:Athlete level physically (Scales to his Attack Potency), Large Town level magically (His offensive and defensive magic come from the same place and are comparable to each other, meaning his Shield Charms should be comparable to his more powerful spells. Is superior to Gellert Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort, and has duelled them both and won.)
Stamina: Very High (Even while being an elderly man, Dumbledore has persevered through battles and scenarios that would easily tire others out. He lead the charge for good in two Wizarding Wars, battled both Voldemort and Grindelwald in legendary battles that went on for a long time, defeating Voldemort and his Death Eaters without uttering a single word. Even while weakened by Voldemort's potion in the Horcrux cave, he was still able to conjure a firestorm that burned the Inferi and saved Harry from them. He had the will and drive to battle and defeat an old friend he grew to love. He willingly accepted his death and arranged it beforehand. As an old man of 115, he was also able to swim in icy cold waters without sign of discomfort.)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, Tens of meters with his spells, at least Tens of Kilometers with Apparition

Intelligence:Genius (Much like his foe Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore is a genius both intellectually and magically. Noted by many to be the msot skilled and powerful wizard in the world. His magical mastery rivalled and surpassed Voldemort. His duel with Grindelwald was revered by many to be a duel that was unrivalled, the greatest duel in the modern age. He passed all his N.E.W.T tests, which were noted for being extremely difficult. His examiner mentions that Dumbledore did things with a wand they had never seen before. His magical mastery extends past his wand, as he was one of the only wizards to adeptly perform magic without the aid of a wand. He has won many awards and was one of the most brilliant students to ever attend Hogwarts. He was a master at planning his attacks, forseeing his enemies moves and planning for things months in advance, such as raising Harry Potter to be killed by Voldemort, believing it to be the only way to make him vulnerable. With his immense foresight, he was able to guide the trio even beyond his death, such as forseeing that Ron might leave the trio while they hunt for Horcruxes, gifting him something he knew would be able to guide Ron back. His genius allowed him to see through Voldemort's charismatic facade. This magical mastery and intellectual genius lead Dumbledore to being the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever feared.)
Weaknesses: By his own admission, Dumbledore is tempted by power, which is his greatest weakness. He is also an old man, and is therefore slower than he would be in his prime as well as physically weaker.
