Bellatrix Lestrange

Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) (1951 –) was a pure-blood witch, the eldest daughter of Cygnus Black III and Druella Black (née Rosier) and elder sister of Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy. She was a member of the House of Black, an old wizarding family and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Bellatrix started her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1962 and was Sorted into Slytherin House.
After graduating from Hogwarts she became a Death Eater. She was fanatically loyal to Lord Voldemort and was among the most dangerous and sadistic of his followers. While Bellatrix and Narcissa married pure-blood wizards, Andromeda married Muggle-born Ted Tonks and was disowned by the family. Andromeda was burned off the Black family tree and they were forbidden to talk about her. At the end of the First Wizarding War, while searching for information on Lord Voldemort: Bellatrix, Rodolphus Lestrange (husband), Rabastan Lestrange (brother-in-law), and Barty Crouch Jr took part in the torture of the Aurors Frank and Alice Longbottom driving them insane. They were caught and sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for torturing the two Aurors.
Bellatrix escaped from Azkaban in the 1996 mass break-out, along with nine other Death Eaters. She participated in several battles of the Second Wizarding War, making it a particular goal to murder any relatives who were members of the Order of the Phoenix. She successfully murdered two, her cousin Sirius Black (who was later revealed to be the husband of Lilly Black and father of Katherine and Alison Black), and niece Nymphadora Tonks. Bellatrix also murdered the Malfoy family's former house-elf, Dobby (who had become a firm ally of Harry Potter, but also later resurrected) with her silver knife. During the final battle, she was one of the last Death Eater standing. Bellatrix was eventually killed in a duel by Molly Weasley, after her attempted murder of Molly Weasley's daughter. However, she resurrected by mistake via the Resurrection Stone when Christopher Lewis got in a car accident in 2012, along with many other death eaters and those they killed, including them escaping Azkaban, making it the mass escape in Wizarding History. However, the dementors were still present as prison guards since Kingsley Shacklebolt didn't order them to leave until the end of his term in office (that is, in 2018).
Before her death, Bellatrix secretly gave birth to an illegitimate daughter named Delphini, whom she conceived with her beloved master, Lord Voldemort. Delphini was conceived sometime after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996 and before Bellatrix's death at the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998.
When she revived, she remained a faithful servant towards the remaining death eaters, and even contributed to the birth of a "different" Lord Voldemort, and even resumed her post as Death Eater, and is known, today, to be serving for the famous dark wizard, Bartemius Crouch Junior.
