Regulus Black

General Information

Name: Regulus Arcturus Black Age: 26 House: Slytherin

Appearence

Fair-skinned with sharp, aristocratic features, dark, straight hair framing a solemn face. His dark, penetrating eyes are cold and distant, reflecting a lack of warmth. His posture is rigid, often appearing stern and composed, conveying an air of quiet authority.

Personality

Stern and aloof, Regulus rarely shows emotion, his expression perpetually serious. He is a loner by nature, preferring solitude and avoiding connections with others. His interactions are brief and measured, rarely offering a smile or any sign of warmth. However, his coldness is not driven by cruelty but by a deep internal struggle, shaped by the weight of his family’s legacy and his own disillusionment.

Background

Disillusioned by the Dark Arts and his family’s ideals, Regulus sought to break free from their influence but remains tethered to the past. His decision to destroy one of Voldemort’s horcruxes came from a sense of duty, but at great personal cost. His stoic demeanor reflects both the burden of these choices and his desire for redemption.

Key Traits

Reserved, stoic, and distant. Regulus carries a quiet, unwavering strength, his demeanor shaped by a life of introspection and solitude. His coldness masks a deeper complexity, making him both enigmatic and compelling

Family Life

Regulus was born into the pure-blood Black family, steeped in tradition and loyalty to the Dark Arts. His family valued power, control, and an unwavering belief in their aristocratic heritage. From a young age, Regulus faced overwhelming expectations to uphold these ideals, with his parents—especially his mother, Walburga—enforcing strict discipline and demanding obedience. His relationship with his brother Sirius was marked by tension, as Sirius rejected the family’s pure-blood values, leading Regulus to feel both a sense of rivalry and isolation. Despite his family’s expectations, Regulus began to feel disillusioned, struggling with the moral conflict between his desire for individuality and the family’s dark ideals. His growing unease would eventually drive him toward a path of defiance.
