Rodolphus Ignatius Lestrange

Date of birth: 7th of April, 1951.

Hogwarts House: Slytherin

Loyalty: the Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort, the Lestrange family

Wand: Laurel wood and dragon heartstring, small garnet stones (main), ebony wood and bat wing string (spare)

Rodolphus is the elder son, the Heir, so he's more reserved and responsible than his younger brother Rabastan, but inside he isn't even close to normal. A normal wizard couldn't be happy in a marriage with Bellatrix, am I right?
He always knew his father was a member of some secret society. There were closed meetings in Lestrange hall time to time, and young Rod already had seen the Dark Lord when he recieved the Mark in his sixteen.
Rodolphus and Bella were engaged from their 6th grade at Hogwarts, but became married only in 1974. They've been putting off their wedding for a long time because they both weren't ready to have children and 'become staid'. They always were warriors.

Rodolphus works in areas of intelligence and counterintelligence, and also often takes part in combat raids, being very good in battle magic. He's also quite talented in artifactology and intersted in magical history. Although Rodolphus
has a very developed intuition on the verge of clairvoyance, he never practiced Divination, using it primarily for the detection of unreliable members of the Organization. The Dark Lord trusts him very much, he knows that the Lestranges are as extremely loyal as it possible.
If we talk more about magical abilities, Rodolphus is good in Occlumency and Legilimency, Voldemort deigned to teach him personally. He also handle with all three Unforgivables and enjoys it.

He likes to interact with hippogriffs and falcons which live in Lestrange estate. They're beautiful, proud and dangerous, he loves such combination. Maybe, that's why he has an attraction to his wife. Rodolphus admires her, respects her combat talents and thinks she's incredibly beautiful, but both of them don't call this 'love'. Bella also has a soft spot to Rod, she even feels jealous when he gives too much attention to other women, but her love belongs to the Dark Lord, and Rodolphus accepted it.

Mr Lestrange is an old-fashioned man, one of the last knights of wizardry. He's an
aristocrat of the old school, more warrior than a man of luxury. He gladly serves the Dark Lord because this man represents the greatness of ancient magic for him, and because he always wanted to find a liege who would be worthy of his allegiance. Rodolphus believes that fealty is an indestructible thing, and would rather die than stain his honor with betrayal or cowardice.
