Alexander Nott

**Alexander "Alex" Nott**, is the first son of Tiberius Nott and Christina Nott (née Fenwick) and the Heir Apparent to House Nott.

## Biography

### Family Lineage

Alex is descended from House Nott through his father’s line. House of Nott is one of the 17 Roman magical families that relocated to Wizarding Britain after the fall of Rome and is a member of the Sacred 28. They are known for their affinity for Dark Magic, a proud and rooted tradition of muggle hunting and strict adherence to Pureblood traditions.

Alex is also descended from the Fenwick family through his mother’s line.

### Early Life

Alex Nott was born the first son of Christina Nott (nee Fenwick) and Tiberius Nott. He lived with his parents and his younger brother, Theodore Nott, until his mother’s mysterious death in 1985. After his mother’s death, Alex dedicated himself to protect Theo, who saw their mother’s murder, from their father’s drunken rages and physical abuse. He began training Theo in Occlumency and equipping him with a wide variety of protective magical artifacts.

### Book 2 - The Secret Enemy

During the summer of 1992, Tiberius Nott asked Alexander Nott for the Nott Invisibility Ring. However Alex had already given the ring to Theodore, along with a number of other heirlooms, to help keep Theo safe from Tiberius and was unable to produce the ring. Tiberius immediately knew what Alexander had done and demanded what else he had given Theodore. It resulted in a argument between the two Notts until Alexander gave Tiberius an ultimatum; leave Theo alone or Alex will go the DMLE  and denounce Tiberius as an un-Imperiused Death Eater. In response, Tiberius made an Unbreakable Vow with Alex; Tiberius wouldn't hurt or disown Theo nor would he interfere with Theo's education, whilst Alex wouldn't reveal family secrets and would become a willing Death Eater should Voldemort return.

Over the next year, Tiberius searched for a loophole in his Vow with Alexander so he could remove Theodore from the family. To this end, he uncovered The Ultimate Sanction. Once this was found, Tiberius formulated a plan to use the Ultimate Sanction to remove Theodore from House Nott.

### Book 3 - The Death-Eater Menace

When Theodore returned to Nott Manor for the summer of 1993, Tiberius successfully enacted his plan, allowing him to subject Theodore to the Ultimate Sanction and banishing him from House Nott. When Alex was alerted to this fact, he quickly made his way to Longbottom Manor where Theodore had escaped to. He attempted to comfort Theodore and revealed his Unbreakable Vow with Tiberius. However, Theodore was horrified by this news, as Alexander had unknowingly sold his soul to Voldemort to save Theodore but now had nothing to show for it. When Alexander left Longbottom Manor, he told Theodore that although the Ultimate Sanction would force him to show hatred towards Theodore, he would always Theodore in his heart.
