Rodolphus Lestrange

Rodolphus Burnell Ehren Lestrange (b. 4 November 1950) is a pureblood wizard and the eldest child of Darius Lestrange and Odessa Lestrange. He attended Hogwarts between 1962 and 1969. As the eldest son of the Lestrange family it is up to Rodolphus to continue the family legacy, a task he is glad to perform. He attained excellent grades at school and was appointed Prefect each eligible year as well as Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team in his final two years after 4 years of playing the position of Beater. Despite being a model student, Rodolphus made time to learn his family’s true trade, the Dark Arts, and he quickly rose in Voldemort’s ranks and was given the Dark Mark as soon as he was of age. Hiding his status as a Death Eater, Rodolphus worked in the Mnistry of Magic for the International Magical Office of Law. This changed when his true ties were revealed at the Selwyn Masquerade Ball. In order to combat the loss of his reputation, Rodolphus ran for Minister for Magic against Orion Black  and Millicent Bagnold. Despite losing to Millicent, Rodolphus did not take no for an answer and soon made a plan with his fellow Death Eaters to exploit Aversio’s backlash against The Order of the Phoenix. Their plot was successful and Rodolphus ascended the Ministry as Minister for Magic.
