BIOGRAPHY:
Rodolphus Lestrange is the first born son of the Lestarnge family. He’s the heir to the name and was brought up that way. He’s the golden son for the family and was treated as such. When he was young his brothers were born and Rod always knew from the moment he saw the babies that he would protect his little brothers.
His father focused all his attention on Rod growing up. He was being molded into the perfect pureblood son, and Rod was more than willing to go along with it. As a young child it was clear that his morals weren’t exactly the same as everyone else. He had little guilt about things the normal person would feel guilty about. Lying became second nature to the young boy. When it came to Rabastan and Rhysand though, he was softer.
Growing up if there was something his father didn’t find desirable he was punished. His father would use the Cruciatus Curse on him to correct the behaviors he found unwanted. Rod learned from these actions to lie better.
School came around and the hat was barely on his head before it rang out with Slytherin. He was home in that house. School came easily to Rodolphus, but he excelled in potions, defense against the dark arts, and transfiguration. Charms was easy for him and he was often bored in the class. Runes was not something that interested him for the most part. DADA was two fold. He was good at the protection spells but he had an interest in the dark arts as well.
Dueling club was his preferred place to be. It always made him feel good.
During school he was the prefect for his house and later on head boy. It was easy to fall into these places and get things done. That didn’t mean that he wasn’t fooling around with both genders during school. Every male he slept with he threatened to never let anyone know. There were plenty of girls who wanted him too. Rod would sleep around and then act as if he never knew them after.
Falling into place as a Death Eater was natural. It was in his blood to head in that direction. It is important to note that Rod was simply the executioner acting on orders from the Dark Lord. He didn’t draw up the plans for how things were to happen, he was just happy to do them. It was the perfect outlet for the darker stuff he didn’t get to do at work. It was frowned upon torturing the ones he was after.
For a very long time the world only assumed he was a death eater. There was no proof and he brought in many before for his job. It was only after the Dark lord fell that he was figured out. Rod took the fall for his family. One of the lower ranking DE’s that he had helped put away spilled the beans during their trial about him. Shortly after he was taken away in an attempt to cover it all up with little evidence other than the witness.
For the first few months Azkaban wasn’t the worst thing. But as time went on it was proving harder to survive without some damage. Often he would be freezing in his cell and only made worse by the rain coming in. The lingering feeling of the dementors stayed in his bones. Rod went into Azkaban in good health but over the course of a year and half that has deteriorated significantly.
Being let out he has conditions according to his plea deal. All of them he’s fairly annoyed about but anything is better than being in that cell.
