Maxmilian Catchlove

As the first child born to Lachlan and Elina Catchlove, Max unwillingly inherited a legacy that his father had never wanted. Both parents were determined not to bring him up in the image of his grandfathers and it quickly became apparent as he grew older that they needn’t have worried about it at all. He took his father’s fearlessness and his mother’s compassion and turned it into a burning desire to right the wrongs in the world. Even from a young age he grew used to spotting inequalities and addressing them however he could.

When he started Hogwart the Sorting Hat had little trouble in placing him in Gryffindor when his bravery and need to change the world knew no bounds. With his easy smile, strong moral compass and never hesitating to help someone else, Max remained popular through-out his time there. Idolised by his younger sister, he did his best to set a good example and had an easy eloquence to get all of his points across so well that she’d always envied ever so slightly.

After leaving school his hard work in his studies paid off and he was accepted into the Auror programme where he excelled, finally feeling as though he was achieving his goal of protecting those around him and making the world safer. Despite his blood status, Max had never hesitated to vocally and openly oppose not only Death Eaters and challenge Pureblood society but also denounce He-He-Must-Not-Be-Named himself. One of the first to join The Order without hesitation, as things grew worse his voice only got louder.

On the 23rd of March 1978, he was found dead in his flat in London under mysterious circumstances. While there’s no real leads and his murder remains unsolved, all signs seem to point to it being done in the name of the Dark Lord.
