Regulus Arcturus Black.

Basic Information

Age: 24 Name: Regulus Black House: Slytherin full name: Regulus Arcturus Black.

Family Background

The Black family was one of the oldest and most prestigious pure-blood wizarding families, with a history of aligning themselves with dark wizardry. Regulus’ parents were fervent supporters of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, a secretive group of dark wizards led by the Dark Lord. His older brother, Sirius, rejected this ideology and ran away from home at a young age, further estranging himself from the Black family, which only served to elevate Regulus’ position as the favored son. Family: Regulus’ relationship with his family is strained. While he is bound to his lineage, he realizes that true loyalty lies with those who respect him as an individual, not simply as a member of a noble house. • Kreacher: Though the house-elf was used and manipulated, Regulus always felt a sense of obligation to protect him.

Personality

Regulus was initially an obedient and devout follower of Voldemort, joining the Death Eaters at the age of 16. He was ambitious, intelligent, and initially sought to prove his loyalty to the Dark Lord. However, over time, Regulus began to question Voldemort’s motives, especially after discovering the Dark Lord’s use of Horcruxes, and the horrific events surrounding the use of dark magic. Regulus was notably more reserved and less overtly rebellious than his brother Sirius. He had a cold, composed demeanor but was still deeply conflicted over the dark path he had chosen. His later actions revealed a capacity for courage and moral integrity, despite his family’s oppressive values. Calculating and Methodical: Regulus was always one to think carefully before acting, weighing the consequences of his actions even when they seemed unimportant at the time. • Reserved: He was not one for grand displays of emotion, preferring to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself unless absolutely necessary. • Courageous but Fearful: Regulus showed courage in his ultimate sacrifice, but he was also deeply afraid of what might happen if he failed.

Ideals

Redemption: Regulus believes that one can always atone for their past, but it requires a great sacrifice—sometimes one’s life itself. • Loyalty: Initially, Regulus was loyal to his family and his dark patron. But after his betrayal, he comes to value loyalty to personal honor and those who truly deserve it.

flaws

Naive Loyalty: Regulus’ early devotion to his family’s ideals made him blind to their darker implications, leading to poor decisions in his youth. • Guilt: He carries the burden of his early misdeeds and feels deeply ashamed of the pain he caused before his redemption.

Skills and Proficiencies

Arcana: Regulus’ studies into forbidden magic and dark arts have made him well-versed in arcane knowledge. • Intimidation: His background in the Black family and as a member of the Dark Lord’s inner circle has granted him an imposing presence. • Investigation: He’s meticulous and able to find the truth, even in the darkest of situations.
