Appearance:
Rodolphus is just over six feet in height with a solid, muscular build. He has green eyes and short, dark blond hair and tendency towards looking calm, cool and collected irrespective of the situation, keeping his thoughts and opinions to himself and not letting them show in his expression. His skin is still pale from his years in Azkaban and even time in the sun doesn’t tend to brown him all that much. He walks with a limp due to the curse that hit his left knee during Harry Potter’s escape from Privet Drive and has a curse mark in the shape of five-pointed star on that knee. On exceptionally cold days, the knee can trouble him to the extent that he needs to use a cane but he can largely do without it most of the time. He has a few scars dotted over his back and torso from fights with Aurors and others during his years as a Death Eater, including the final battle. He favours elegant and simple robes in sober colours, seeking to create the impression of someone urbane yet perhaps a little stern. While he despises the thought of wearing Muggle clothing, he would wear it if it was necessary though he would find it ugly and uncomfortable.

Personality in Five Words: Machiavellian, cold, calculating, calm, evil
Personality:
Rodolphus is a cool, calculating, meticulous and very Machiavellian man. His speech is invariably calm and articulate; his voice rarely ever rises to loud or angry tones but any rage or displeasure can be felt radiating from his words in a cold, iciness that is frightening. Rodolphus, unlike many pure-bloods, does not particularly hate or wish to eradicate mudbloods/muggles. He sees them as disposable tools, creatures to be used for whatever purpose necessary, whether that be serving their betters or acting as a target or as prey. He knew his opinion diverged a little from the Dark Lord’s on that score so he kept it quiet. Lord Voldemort promised almost everything Rodolphus was interested in seeing come to fruition so he was willing to go along with that and leave aside something that was fundamentally insignificant in the long run. He prefers torture and extracting information over the cold-blooded murder that his late wife enjoyed. The reason behind this is not that he is squeamish or afraid of murder but that he sees a potential tool in everything he looks at. Not that he would hesitate to kill if necessary. He would kill and enjoy it.

He did care for Bellatrix after a fashion though it might not be what others would call ‘love’ or even ‘lust’ or ‘liking’. He considered her to be vibrant, beautiful and amusing and was tolerant of her obsessions and her various fits and starts. She may well have been obsessed with the Dark Lord but it was not that man’s bed that she sought at night and that was sufficient for him. They had similar interests and likes and dislikes and as far as he was concerned that was sufficient for what had been essentially an arranged marriage. He finds the thought of her death at the hands of a blood traitor to be distasteful and would dearly love to seek revenge.

Like Bellatrix, Azkaban did not do kind things to his sanity however unlike his wife’s more overt and flamboyant insanity; his is a much quieter and hidden version. His conscience, his morals and ethics are warped and twisted to the point where he feels no guilt or regret at killing, maiming or torturing. There is only what he wants and the best way of getting it. Anyone getting in his way will be dealt with and there will be no remorse involved.

Biography:
Rodolphus is the first-born son of Revelin and Morgana Lestrange. He grew up in a powerful, wealthy and very strictly pureblood family. His father had been friends with Tom Riddle from a young age and Riddle or Lord Voldemort as he had come to all himself was a frequent guest in the Lestrange home. Rodolphus was schooled at home from an early age in order to ensure his education was as top class as would be expected from the eldest Lestrange son. He also began the training required to eventually take over as the head of the Lestrange family and be the holder of the house wards at an early age and he grew up well aware of the privileges and entitlements to which he felt he was owed and well as the responsibilities that he had as a pureblood of high birth.

Rodolphus went to Hogwarts with no doubts as to which House he would be Sorted into and he was duly placed in Slytherin. He settled in with ease and no little ambition though he bided his time at first. He was a good student, excelling in Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Ancient Runes and surprisingly enough Divination. In fact one of his most carefully guarded secrets is that he has visions of the future on a semi-regular basis – something that began in his Fifth Year. The visions aren’t always clear or easy to understand but they are occasionally useful.

His father, being a friend of Tom Riddle, had ensured that Rodolphus had been fully indoctrinated into the cause before he arrived at Hogwarts. As he got older he worked to bring others in Slytherin over to Voldemort’s cause, including people like Lucius Malfoy. He was selected as a Prefect in his Fifth Year though he was furious to be overlooked as Head Boy in his Seventh Year in favour of the Ravenclaw candidate. Although he was a good flyer, he had little interest in Quidditch, considering it a refuge for those lacking in brain power. Instead he gravitated towards activities such as chess and duelling.

In between all of this, he spent some time from about his Fifth Year onwards, watching and evaluating the girls in his year and below to determine which one would be the most appropriate to become his future wife. As the eldest son in the Lestrange family, he knew he would have to choose well. After a short period of time he fixed his attention on the Black girls though they did not know this. He dismissed Andromeda almost immediately as being completely inappropriate. The fact that she went on to marry a Muggleborn just confirmed his opinion. He contemplated Narcissa for a long time but eventually felt that she was too flighty and emotional. Bellatrix had made some advances to him at the start of their Fifth Year but although she intrigued him, if he was going to have her, it would be on his own terms so he initially rejected her. However, the more he discovered about her the more he thought that she would indeed be a suitable consort for him and he finally tested this theory in their Seventh Year. They did indeed share many of the same tastes and ambitions and he swiftly claimed her as his, informing his father as to his choice and after receiving his approval, approaching Bellatrix’s father to gain his approval. They were married shortly after they graduated, much to both their families’ approval.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Rodolphus went immediately into service with Voldemort and Bellatrix joined him. They, along with Rabastan once he had graduated, were among Voldemort’s most loyal and fervent supporters. While Rodolphus didn’t quite share Voldemort’s views on Muggles and the Muggleborn, he did enjoy torturing them, practicing techniques and skills, and he especially enjoyed his wife’s response to his actions. Their first stint as Death Eaters culminated with their torture, along with Barty Crouch Jr, of Frank and Alice Longbottom in 1981. They were captured shortly after this and sentenced to Azkaban.

They remained in Azkaban for nearly fifteen years until the Dementors turned against the Ministry in January 1996 when they were able to escape. They rejoined their Lord at this time. Rodolphus was not affected as overtly by his time in Azkaban as his wife was. While he is insane, his is a quieter insanity than what his wife exhibited, one that can be seen in his ruthlessness, his coldness, his malevolence and his liking for torture and violence.

He and his brother were recaptured after the debacle in the Department of Mysteries and sent back to Azkaban where they remained until shortly before Voldemort took over the Ministry in 1997. They were freed again but had earned Voldemort’s displeasure by being captured and were thus marginalised somewhat. Rodolphus was not perturbed by this. He knew that with patience, he could work his way back into Voldemort’s good graces. He knew his intelligence and ability would ensure that.

He participated in the attack on the multiple Harry Potters and was injured in the process, receiving a nasty hex to his left knee. The hex has left him with a permanent limp though the severity of it varies depending on the weather. On his best days it is barely noticeable, on his worst, he requires the aid of a cane.

He was also present for the final attack on Hogwarts where he was ruthless and savage in his fighting irrespective of who he was facing. When his wife faced off against Molly Weasley, he was highly amused at the sight. His glorious, tall, dark, slender wife against the dumpy, red-haired blood traitor. As such he was as shocked as his wife was when Molly Weasley killed her. However his anger and desire for revenge was derailed when Voldemort lost that final battle to Potter.

He fled from Hogwarts with his brother but the two of them became separated along the way and shortly afterwards Rodolphus was captured by Aurors and taken to Azkaban for the third time.
