## Physical description

### Gender

Male

Lysander Lovegood-Scamander was the son of Luna Lovegood and Rolf Scamander, and the twin brother of Lorcan Scamander. He was a Squib, and worked as editor in chief of the Quibbler. He was married to Roxanne Weasley.

He died at the hands of Aleksandra Markova during the showdown between the Hunters and the Flint pack, Greyback pack, and Aurors.

## Personality

Lysander was a warm, curious, and energetic person. He cared deeply about many things and many people, but especially the concept of the truth and helping the underdog. In his youth he had some problems controlling his temper, but by adulthood he had learned to channel his energies into helping others. He loved traveling, writing, and his wife.

## History

Lysander was born a squib, which caused some challenges in his childhood as his twin brother was born entirely magical. While his brother went to Hogwarts, Lysander pursued a muggle education--including a degree in journalism that he would use as a freelance journalist for various papers around the world. He would eventually take over the Quibbler from his grandfather, allowing him to settle down a bit. Around the same time, Roxanne Weasley would find herself settling down a bit and the rest, as they say, is history.

Lysander was instrumental in bringing down Keening's Institute and their experiments, combining information from whitleblowers, victims, and an investigation by Roxanne and Fred Weasley.

Over time, Lysander would support Roxanne as she became werewolf queen of the UK while also pursuing his own journalism. He covered lighter fare such as the Triwizard tournament, and more serious topics-such as the growing Hunter activity in the UK. His work and his relationship with Roxanne would eventually make him a target for the Hunters and he was kidnapped by Aleksandra Markova in order to draw Roxanne, Michael Flint, and Theo Williams out to a meeting that would culminate in a battle between the Hunters and the Flint pack and their allies. At that time, Pasha and Nadya Utkin were also kidnapped, and during the battle Lysander was killed while protecting Nadya.

## Relationships

### Roxanne

Roxanne and Lysander had a deeply loving, supportive, and fun marriage. She was his best friend and his partner, who Lysander respected and admired as an individual.

### Lorcan

The twin's relationship was difficult and strained for most of their life as Lysander saw Lorcan as someone who wasted his privileges and willfully made bad choices, and Lorcan saw Lysander as someone who was full of himself and looked down on him. They both felt the other was their parents' preferred child. As they grew older, they both made efforts to patch their relationship or at least be civil. Although they never truly reached a point of understanding, Lysander did leave Lorcan the Quibbler in his will--showing a faith in his brother that he never vocalized in life.

### Luna

Lysander and his mother had an easier relationship than he did with his father as she seemed more accepting of his reality as a Squib.

### Rolf

During his childhood, Rolf was keen on having Lysander "helped" with his "issue" until it became quite clear there was nothing to be done. Subsequently, Rolf became rather protective and tried to keep Lysander safe from the dangers of magical society in ways that Lysander felt were limiting and just made him more of a stranger to his own world. As a result father and son had very strained relations and never truly saw eye-to-eye.
