*—* Damon declaring his new vision for the future.

**Damon Lestrange** (born c. 2005) is a Half-Blood wizard of French descent. He is the only child of Narcissa Lestrange, making him the last living descendant and heir to the Lestrange family's main bloodline. His birth was marked with tragedy, as his mother was imprisoned in the dark fortress of Azkaban for supporting Lord Voldemort during the Second Wizarding War many years later. The aurors who imprisoned Narcissa were, however, unaware of the fact that she was **pregnant**.

Acknowledged as one of the most brilliant students of this age, Damon started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Slytherin house during his first year; a nod to his family legacy and maternal ancestors. He was different than most of his kin though; as he appeared acceptive and compassionate towards muggles. This was due to growing up largely unaware of his wizarding and family legacy during the better part of his early childhood, and having known nothing else than the Muggle World. Though described as kind-hearted and compassionate, Damon seemingly started **changing** during the fifth year of his education at Hogwarts. It became his life's **ambition** to one day free his mother and seek revenge on the aurors who, in his eyes, wrongfully imprisoned her.

After meeting Zachary Yalden however - with whom Damon developed a close bond - Damon's vision and mindset about the wizarding world started changing. It was through a series of related events that Damon created **the Hallows** alongside three of his closest friends, Lucien Black, **Zachary Yalden**, and Alina Gallagher; a collective of powerful and talented students who wished to change and end the corruption that had long since plagued the Ministry and **Hogwarts**.

It was during this time that Damon and his friends started facing many problems that threatened the school as well, such as the attacks of the dark wizard **Clopus**, the death of **Elyra Pearl** and the search for the masked wizard, **Ilir Xhafa**. His priority and true ambition however, in spite of the many problems he currently faces, still remains freeing his mother.

*—* A conversation between two wizards in the Three Broomsticks Inn at Hogsmeade after the Daily Prophet made the scandal of Damon's birth in **Azkaban** its main headlines in early 2006, criticizing the **British Ministry**.

**Damon Lestrange** was born on December 27th, 2005 in the fortress prison of Azkaban to **Narcissa Lestrange**. His mother had been sentenced to life in prison for supporting her brother-in-law Lord Voldemort during the Second Wizarding War, in which she committed many attrocities and crimes against both the **Wizarding World** and humanity itself. Damon was taken in by the British Ministry of Magic and many public discussions arose surrounding the circumstances of his birth. The consequences of the Dementors feeding on his mother while she was pregnant of Damon remain unknown, as no **anomalies** were found during multiple health checks whilst he was still a baby.

He grew up in the same **village** under the roof of his **father** where his mother hid from the Ministry, though issues between them would soon start to damage their relationship as father and son. As Damon grew older, he started questioning many things; among them why his mother could not be in his life. He also befriended several children in the village, among them Ethan Deveraux, whose **family** - unbeknownst to Damon - vowed an eternal oath of fealty to protect his mother and her descendants, including Damon.

Rumours indicate that one day whilst playing in the forest, Damon was being teased by some of the children from a neighboring village; and Ethan, who considered it his duty to protect Damon, committed an act so horrible and cruel on the bullies that both Damon and Ethan haven't spoken a word about it since. This event is also rumored to be the reason as to how Damon found out about his wizarding heritage and the story of his mother.

*—* Damon lamenting on his first three **murders**.

Damon started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2016 after his eleventh birthday and was sorted into Slytherin house during his first year - to no one's surprise - as all members of his family who came before him were. The Sorting Hat presumably took significantly more time with placing Damon in a house at first than he did others, having commented that it could've been Hufflepuff too; having difficulty determining whether ambition or loyalty were his strongest virtues.

It quickly became apparent that Damon was a talented and gifted young wizard. Many of the teachers, most noticably Professor **Aurelius Selwyn** and Professor **Chris Gale**, made numerous comments on Damon's exceptionalism and prodigious skill and knowledge in many fields and aspects of magic and education. **Headmaster Goya Torres** also took a liking to Damon, and after Elyra Pearl's death, took Damon in under her wing to tutor him in more advanced magic; specifically, the basics to the Dark Arts.

It was during his fifth year at Hogwarts that Damon started becoming involved with multiple threats the school was facing, and also met some of his closest friends such as Zachary Yalden, Lucien Black and Alina Gallagher. Battling the masked wizard **Ilir Xhafa**, witnessing the death of **Elyra Pearl**, and experiencing first-hand how attacks from the dark wizard **Clopus** damaged his love interest, **Emma Medina**, changed Damon. After a series of tragic events, it led Damon to create what would become the foundation of **the Hallows**; a collective of young, talented and powerful witches and wizards aiming to change and alter the course of the wizarding world and its corrupt Ministry of Magic. It was around this time period that Damon's investigation on Elyra's death brought him into conflict with several aurors of the Department of Magical Law Enforcerment, and an Unspeakable of the Department of Mysteries as well - the latter, who was already hunting Ilir Xhafa long before Damon even came to know about his existence.

Damon presumably passed his fifth year with all of his O.W.Ls being top-of-the-class grades. His descent into the Dark Arts became more than just academic debates with Headmaster Torres as well, as he committed his first three murders through **Eli Gatti**, **Bill Parley** and **Euphoria Novalarys** during his fifth year. Lucien Black also pledged an oath of eternal fealty and loyalty to Damon some time during his fifth year through the Unbreakable Vow, as did **Alessandro de Natale**. The latter did not do so out of loyalty unlike Lucien, but to escape his own death at Damon's hands. Damon regarded Alessandro and his gang potential resources to benefit from and indoctrinated them as his loyal followers into his antagonistic philosophy.

## Possessions

* **Damon's wand**: 13½" long, Damon's wand is made from Yew wood and contains a Thestral hair core. Originally manifactured at Ollivander's, Damon's wand was later on alchemically altered by Lucien Black; who replaced its core and enhanced the wood material.
* **Raven Ring**: Considered his family heirloom, it was gifted to Damon by **Lucien Black** during his fifth year at Hogwarts. Its crest is a laupis lazuli, with two ravens facing eachother on the gemstone. It was presumably crafted by goblins, and is said to possess a strange power.
* **Black Blade**: A stilletto-styled dagger, Damon's blade was forged from Damascus steel. Its hilt is made of yew wood and bears the mark of the Lestrange family crest on its handle.
