**Lucius Malfoy** is a canonical pure-blood wizard and Death Eater. He is the husband of Narcissa and the father of Draco, and a powerful political player; he is a long-time member of the Hogwarts Board of Governors, and is said to be "always popping in and out of the Ministry".

## Canonical information

Main article: **Lucius Malfoy** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Lucius is the son of Abraxas Malfoy, although his mother's name has not been revealed, and was born sometime between 9 September 1953 and 8 September 1954. He attended Hogwarts, was sorted into Slytherin and was named prefect in his fifth year.

Like all other death eaters beside Snape, he is unable to cast a corporeal patronus.

Sometime during the 2005/06 scholastic year, his grandson Scorpio was born, and Lucius had issues with how he was raised. However, by 2020, at the latest, he had "passed on" his true timeturner to Draco, implying that he had likely died.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Code*

In this story, the French origin of the Malfoy family is said to be quite recent; Draco refers to his paternal grandmother as *grand-mère*, the family lived in France until she died when he was eight and his first language was French. Whether this should be taken to mean that Lucius attended Beauxbatons rather than Hogwarts is unclear, given that the story also features students transferring between the schools, but his marriage to Narcissa was mostly an affair between two old houses, and they never developed any deeper feelings for each other. Nor did she for Draco, who claims not to have met her until he was five, but Lucius did his best to include raising his son in his otherwise busy schedule. He set a fairly harsh regime, demanding his son follow the (possibly fictional) *Malfoy Family Code*, but unlike e.g. Theodore Nott senior never used physical violence and seems to have genuinely cared about his son's well-being (albeit not giving it his top priority).

In 1967/68 (at most fifteen years old!), Lucius had a son named Lukas born out of wedlock with an unnamed French witch; he would later play with Draco during the summers, but in 1987 he announced his intention to marry a muggle girl, and was hit by a killing curse before Lucius was able to react. It is not clear who sent it, but the main suspects would be Narcissa and Lucius' mother; it seems like Lucius wasn't able to bury his son until a year had passed and his mother had died as well, then the day after the burial he moved the family to England. Ten years after the death he still sends fresh flowers to the grave every week.

During the summer of 1996, he brings Draco to several smaller, social, Death Eater meetings, but never to any revels or any meetings where Voldemort is present. He typically does not agree with the latter's violent methods and resents being led by a half-blood, teaching his son that "blood purity is worth more than money, but money is a close second. [Those who] have both [are] above the rich and tainted, and the poor and pure".

### Minor appearances

* In *Breath Mints / Battle Scars* he is described as an abusive father; it is said that he used to give Draco a beating whenever he lost to Harry Potter in Quidditch, usually ending with hexing his mouth shut for two or three days until the boy risked starving to death.

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, he is a central member of the Protectionist Party. Also, his full name is said to be *Lucius Abraxas Malfoy*.

* In *Isolation*, a Dramione story, he cannot accept Draco's feelings for Hermione and his following defection to the Order of the Phoenix; in a final confrontation during the Battle of Hogwarts Draco breaks his wand but in the end lets him go rather than kill him. However, when Lucius then tries to apparate away he fatally splices himself in two. His full name is said to be *Lucius Armand Malfoy*.

* In *The Prisoner*, he is said to have a peacock patronus.

* In *The Girl Who Loved*, after Harry Potter makes a record-breaking accidental apparition across eight time zones, Lucius and three other death eaters (among them Joseph Murray) are sent to China to kill him while he remains outside of his normal protective magics. However, the Joketsuzoku Amazons, descendants of the ki adepts that wiped out most of China's magical population under the Zhou dynasty, easily turns the tables on them and they are all killed.
