## Biography

### Early life Template:C

Lucius Malfoy was born in ***1953*** or ***1954*** in ***Great Britain*** and raised in the lap of luxury at the ancestral home of ***Malfoy Manor*** in the county of ***Wiltshire*** in ***England***; a magnificent mansion that had been in his family's possession for around a thousand years. Historically rather well-known for their cast-iron belief in ***wizards' superiority*** over ***Muggles*** and espousal of pure-blood values, Lucius adopted the unfeigned contempt for the ***Muggle world*** of his elders from a young age and was encouraged to make friends 'of the right sort' when the time came for him to attend school, a sentiment Lucius would later follow to the point where he viewed those who openly ***associated themselves*** with Muggles to be a "*disgrace to the name of wizard*".

Descending from a long line of cold, brutal fathers that produced cold, brutal sons, while it is unknown just how close he was with his parents during his formative years, quite arguably the biggest influence in his young life was that of his father. A proud member of the social elite that commanded great respect in certain circles, ***Abraxas Malfoy*** was, in addition to a harshly demanding parent with high expectations and known to have kept a collection of Dark magical artefacts harking back to family history, also a man of considerable (and much resented) influence at the ***Ministry of Magic*** in London; all things that Lucius would eventually go on to emulate later in life.

### Hogwarts years Template:C

Lucius was educated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from around the year of 1965/1966 to 1972/1973, once there he honoured his family's tradition of being Sorted into Slytherin House, a place where many other like-minded young idealists was often found. It was during this time that he first met his future wife, a proud member of the ***Noble and Most Ancient House of Black***; one of the most prominent pure-blooded wizarding families in Great Britain, and, like the Malfoys, one of the ***Sacred Twenty-Eight***.

Lucius's third year also saw the premature retirement of Nobby Leach, the first ***Muggle-born*** Minister for Magic to ever hold office, after he fell ill with a mysterious illness. Before long, a number of conspiracy theories were circulating regarding what actually happened to him, and for a time, Lucius's own father fell under suspicion of having had a hand in the shady plot that led Leach to resign, although nothing was ever proven against him.

 File:Slug Club3.png
The scion of an old wizarding family noted for its wealth and influence, Lucius was ultimately a model student that lead by example and became a voice of authority among his peers, and who effectively managed to uphold his family's name, be a credit to Slytherin House and master the art of keeping up appearances all in one fell swoop when he was named a Prefect in his fifth year, and by being invited to join the out-of-hours dining and social club hosted by their always talent-scouting Potions Master, Horace Slughorn, known as the 'Slug Club'.

In 1971. Lucius also became the first person apart from Lily Evans to ever extend Severus Snape a hand of friendship when he warmly welcomed him into the fold after the latter's sorting into the same house; a gesture that marked the beginning of a lifelong, mutual respect and camaraderie between the two young wizards. Which was not to say, however, that his magical education was by any means an uneventful one.

Lucius's arrival at school coincided with a recent increase in Dark magical activity throughout ***Great Britain***; while few knew what lay behind the mounting attacks and sightings, the truth was finally revealed in the form of a Dark wizard of immense power. But whereas Lord Voldemort and his ***Death Eaters*** were swiftly becoming a source of widespread fear by a most of his own kind, Lucius, on the other hand, found himself rather agreeing with their views regarding the treatment that the non-magical community deserved.

Over the course of his schooling, Lucius also developed a strong dislike for the school's Head of Transfiguration. Not only a shamelessly vocal pro-Muggle activist, Albus Dumbledore was also quickly becoming the biggest symbol and rallying point for opposition to the Dark Forces, thus representing everything that Lucius despised. As such, when Dumbledore succeeded Armando Dippet as headmaster, Lucius saw it as the worst thing ever to have happened to Hogwarts; a sentiment he would carry with him into to adulthood.

### First Wizarding War Template:C

> Arthur Weasley regarding Lucius's former influence at the Ministry, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Lucius graduated from Hogwarts around the year of ***1972***/***1973***, and being independently wealthy and with no need to work for a living, continued to inhabit the family estate; free at last to enjoy full-time the creature comforts that their ancestral home had provided him throughout his privileged upbringing. At some point, he also became romantically involved with ***Narcissa Black***, a fellow wealthy pure-blood and Slytherin student back at Hogwarts with whom he had a lot in common; not least of all their shared anti-Muggle sentiments, fondness for the lavish and privileged lifestyle that their rich family vaults afforded them. In due time, the uppish couple entered what was seen as a very respectable, pure-blood ***marriage***, and took up residence at ***Malfoy Manor***.

In doing so, Lucius also officially assumed both the patriarchy of the ***Malfoy family***, ownership of their house-elf, Dobby, and gained the possession of a prized family heirloom that had been passed down for many generations. This, he began to carrying around with him, both as a status symbol and as a replacement for his original wand. Heir apparent to a long line of wily beneficiaries of political patronage in the magical community, Lucius also wasted little time in carrying on the family tradition of frequenting the headquarters of the ***Ministry of Magic*** in ***London***, where he successfully used his family name and fortune to curry favour with a number of high-ranking Ministry officials, and became a very well-connected man.

That was not to say, however, that this was all he aspired to do with his life, because even though his former teachers had done an adequate job of sheltering their charges from the storm that had only continued to brew in the world beyond Hogwarts Castle in the years that he had resided there, and despite the strong-arm tactics that the ***Auror Office*** had been ***authorised*** to employ in the effort to suppress it, it was nevertheless the case that the Dark Lord's campaign of violence had just grown ever fiercer. Throughout the entirety of his magical education, Lord Voldemort and his followers had only been gaining in strength, until finally the ongoing conflict culminated in the First Wizarding War.

In the motley collection that made up Lord Voldemort's innermost circle of followers, Lucius most certainly fell into the category of "*the ambitious seeking some shared glory*". By the time Lucius left Hogwarts, rumours had also began to circulate that the Lord Voldemort, who had indulged in all manner of Dark Magic in an attempt to make himself invincible, had somehow made himself immortal, thus further cementing the idea that he was unstoppable. And, being no less enthralled by their quest for the purification of the wizarding race than before, not to mention very much in favour of the idea to rid the world of ***Muggle-borns*** and putting ***pure-bloods*** in charge, Lucius eventually swore his eternal allegiance to the Dark Lord and, officially joined the ranks of the ***Death Eaters*** in earnest.

Although never made privy to the names of every one of his new comrades, they were all still able to tell each other apart when it mattered by the masks they wore to conceal their identities; which were all unique to the individual using them. Not only was he ideally positioned supply his brothers-in-arms with important information directly from the Ministry itself, but nor did he, as an advocate for violence and unafraid to use it himself, shy away from lending an extra wand in actually waging the war either. More than willing to turn his talents to ***coercion***, ***torture***, murder and other atrocities in order to carry out his Master's bidding if called upon to do so, Lucius quickly proved himself a most valuable servant to the Dark Lord.

 File:Masked Death Eaters (Concept Artwork for the HP4 film).jpg
By the height of the war, Lucius had risen ambitiously through the ranks of the Dark Lord's followers and even placed in charge of his fellow Death Eaters, becoming second-in-command to their Master himself; a time Lucius would later go on to call their family's "glory days". An efficient leader and a master at delegation, many successful battles were fought under Lucius's direction, and even though the ***Aurors*** had put up a valiant fight, by the time the Dark Lord's ascendancy was almost complete, true resistance to their cause had become concentrated in an underground organisation called the Order of the Phoenix, a group the Death Eaters already had greatly outnumbered and was systematically picking off one by one.

And just when victory seemed to be within reach, and Lucius his family were at the very cusp of authority and prestige the likes of which his family had never known, Narcissa gave birth to their son and only child, Draco, on ***5 June*** 1980. Around the same time, Lucius was entrusted the Dark Lord's old school diary, which he was told had been cleverly bewitched so that whenever smuggled into Hogwarts Castle, it would reopen the legendary Chamber of Secrets and send the monster living inside to finish Salazar Slytherin's "noble work" of cleansing the school of all ***Muggle-born*** students, a plan he was supposed to carry out only when he had been told to do so by Voldemort himself.

When, however, by then fellow Death Eater and spy for the Dark Lord, Severus Snape, revealed that he had eavesdropped on a job interview between Albus Dumbledore and a prospective ***Divination*** Professor by the name of ***Sybill Trelawney*** at the ***Hog's Head Inn*** and learned of a foretelling of their Master's downfall, Lord Voldemort concluded that Harry Potter were the child who had been prophesied to bring about his destruction and subsequently marked the Potters for death shortly afterwards. Securely hidden by the powerful Fidelius Charm, however, it was only when one of their own friends and Secret Keeper, Peter Pettigrew, joined them out of fear and disclosed their whereabouts that this new enemy could be dealt with.

Upon learning this, the Dark Lord personally left to bring about the destruction of this one, inexplicable threat, only for his Killing Curse to rebound back at himself, obliterating his body instead. Following the apparent demise of what had appeared to be their almighty leader, the Death Eaters were left shocked and distraught. Subsequently, the Order of the Phoenix and the ***Ministry of Magic*** were able to round up many of his followers. By no means inclined to risk his own social standing and the reputation of the ***Malfoy family*** in a ***duel*** with the ***Aurors***; he had already went on a careful campaign of bribery, blackmail, and flattery to win his freedom.

This meant that by the time he was brought in front of the ***Council of Magical Law*** to answer charges relating to his activities as a Death Eater, Lucius Malfoy had so many high-placed Ministry officials in his pocket that the official story, namely that he had been acting under the influence of the ***Imperius Curse***, was a little more than a formality. Thus, even though many like Arthur Weasley, the Head of the ***Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office***, never believed his version of the events, Lucius nevertheless became one of the first to "come back" to the right side and released from custody.

 File:Lucius Malfoy at Malfoy Manor with his dogs.jpeg
Lucius lived a rather good life with his family. Independently wealthy and therefore without any need to work, he was more than content with a settled life, preoccupying himself with upholding his influence in the ***Ministry of Magic*** and maintaining a collection of Dark artefacts harking back to family history. Lucius eventually went on to raise his son in an atmosphere of regret that the Dark Lord had not succeeded in taking command of the wizarding community. Lucius did not search for Voldemort after his sudden disappearance, believing him to have died that night in Godric's Hollow.

Despite his high standing in the ranks of the Dark Forces, his loyalties were primarily towards the *cause* rather than to the man representing it, as shown by how he still associated with some of his former comrades who, like him, avoided ***Azkaban***, many of whom became close friends of the family. Indeed, he even remained in touch with ***Igor Karkaroff***, who had won his freedom after capture by cowardly putting a numerous amount of Lucius's old comrades into Azkaban in his place. The most prominent evidence for his initial disinterest in revisiting his past and lack of faithfulness to the Dark Lord himself was how Lucius disregarded rumours of Lord Voldemort's survival as wishful thinking, and instead took interest in potentially allying himself with the very person who had brought about their former Master's downfall.

Many different theories regarding how The-Boy-Who-Lived had survived the Dark Lord's attack were made over the years, the most persistent of them being that the boy himself was a great Dark wizard. This assumption was one Lucius prescribed to most eagerly, even taking comfort in the thought that he one day might get a second chance of world domination if Harry Potter grew up to become another, and greater, ***pure-blood*** champion.

As the time of Draco's magical education grew ever closer, Lucius informed his wife that it was his wish for their son to attend ***Durmstrang Institute***, where Karkaroff now was Headmaster. The school did not allow ***Muggle-borns*** to attend, and it was also argued that Durmstrang took a 'far more sensible line' about the Dark Arts than Hogwarts, which was still headed by Albus Dumbledore, whom Lucius held in no higher regard after the war than he had during it for the man's advocacy for Muggle rights and other values that went against their own. His wife, on the other hand, did not like the idea of Draco going to school so far away; thus they decided that he would go to Hogwarts after all.

#### Joining the Board of Governors

 File:Malfoy family.jpeg
It was presumably in order to influence the day-to-day running of Hogwarts as much as possible and undermine Dumbledore's authority and influence which led him to join the Hogwarts Board of Governors. As a governor, Lucius submitted a demand to the Headmaster to have ***The Fountain of Fair Fortune*** banned from the Hogwarts library, as it depicted a love between a ***witch*** and a ***Muggle***. Malfoy claimed that he did not want his son, Draco, to be influenced into sullying his pure-blood by reading a story that promoted marriage between wizards and Muggles.

Dumbledore's refusal to allow the book to be removed was backed by a majority of the other Governors, and Dumbledore wrote back to Malfoy saying that pure-blood families maintained their so-called purity by disowning, banishing, or lying about ***Muggles*** and Muggle-borns in their family trees, and then ask for works that dealt with these truths to be banned. Dumbledore considered it illogical and immoral to remove works dealing with the mixture of wizard blood and Muggle blood for the knowledge of the students. Dumbledore's response prompted several further letters from Lucius, consisting of "opprobrious remarks" on Dumbledore's sanity, parentage, and hygiene. This also marked the beginning of Malfoy's long campaign to have him removed from the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts.

During the ***1985–1986 school year***, he arrived at the school for a surprise inspection, which he claimed was on instructions of the board, bringing Draco with him. He questioned several teachers and students, including ***Jacob's sibling*** and ***Ben Copper***. Lucius entrusted ***Jacob's sibling*** and ***Merula Snyde*** to babysit Draco, having specifically requested those two students as Jacob's sibling was said to be the best student in their year and Merula was the scion of two of Lucius's Death Eater comrades and thus considered the "appropriate" kind of person for Draco to socialise with. The decision did not rub off well with any of the three, as the two older students were irritated and disgusted by the younger Malfoy's snobbishness and prejudiced remarks.

During the inspection, Lucius's wand went missing. He refused to leave without it and initially blamed the theft on their house-elf Dobby, as the perpetrator knew Lucius kept his wand inside his walking stick, which wasn't common knowledge. Jacob's sibling investigated and discovered that Draco had taken his father's wand, as he was too young to have his own and wanted to perform magic after seeing Merula perform the ***Jelly-Legs Curse*** on Jacob's sibling. They successfully convinced Draco to tell them where the wand was, and returned it to Lucius.

After discovering ***R's*** intention of clearing the British Ministry of Magic of corruption via ***mind control***, Jacob's sibling met with the ***Circle of Khanna*** to discuss the moral ethics of such mechanisms. During this discussion, ***Tulip Karasu***, who was leaning in favour of it being a situation where 'the ends justified the means', brought up Lucius Malfoy while noting how being rich and powerful gave a wizard a good chance of worming their way out of the Ministry's bad books, telling ***Corey*** when they objected to this statement that her ***mother*** and ***father*** had never believed Lucius's claims of acting under the Imperius Curse, feeling Lucius had only escaped justice because he was of his family's status in the wizarding community.

#### Opening of the Chamber of Secrets

> Lucius slipping Tom Riddle's diary into Ginny Weasley's school books in Flourish and Blotts, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

In 1992, during his son's return home from his first year at Hogwarts, Lucius was informed of Harry Potter's refusal of Draco's offer for friendship in favour of his allegiance to the Weasleys through their youngest Ron. Despite his disappointment that the wild hopes of the ex-***Death Eaters*** — that Harry was another, and better, Voldemort — were completely unfounded, he nevertheless discouraged Draco from seeming "less than thrilled" about the Potter boy, since open hostility towards him could prove potentially disadvantageous to their social standing, as Draco spent a lot of his time away from Hogwarts talking badly of Harry and him being placed on the Quidditch Team as a first year.

 File:Confrontation in Flourish and Blotts COSF.jpg
Over the summer, Arthur Weasley began conducting raids on several wizarding households to confiscate Dark or illegally enchanted objects under his recently proposed ***Muggle Protection Act***. Before his home could be raided, Lucius sold several of his more incriminating possessions at ***Borgin and Burkes***. The items sold included several dangerous cursed objects of unknown effects. He then set in motion the old task that Voldemort assigned him which involved reopening the Chamber of Secrets. Although his master fell before the plan came to fruition, Lucius still had Tom Riddle's Diary in his possession.

Therefore, he could still make excellent use of it by not only purging Hogwarts of Muggle-borns but also by sabotaging Weasley's reputation, eliminating an incriminating Dark artefact all at once and hopefully even exploiting the forthcoming chaos to have Dumbledore removed from his position at the school. While in Flourish and Blotts Lucius got into a physical altercation with Arthur. Lucius then slipped the diary into Ginny's schoolbooks after meeting the Weasleys at ***Flourish and Blotts*** just before the start of the school term.

Only the Malfoys' house-elf Dobby was aware of the diary's true nature, but Lucius did not believe his servant would interfere since house-elves were unable to disobey the commands of their masters. Unbeknownst to him, Dobby took this to his advantage by attempting to warn Harry Potter against returning to Hogwarts.

Early this school year, Lucius bought the whole Slytherin Quidditch team Nimbus 2001 broomsticks. The Nimbus 2001 was an highly advanced broom and the top of the line, therefore his gift was very expensive. He did this as bribe in order to get Draco instated as the team's ***Seeker***. He was present at the match where Harry was being chased by a rogue Bludger.

 File:Lucius-Fudge-Dumbledore.jpg
Students, animals, and ghosts were systematically petrified by the Basilisk that a possessed Ginny released as the diary's grip on her became gradually stronger. Lucius used the ensuing terror (as well as threats of cursing their families if they failed to cooperate) to influence the school's Board of Governors to discredit and vote to dismiss Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster for his poor governance of the school. Harry followed to save Ginny and killed the Basilisk with Godric Gryffindor's sword. He then destroyed the diary with a Basilisk fang, which (though he did not know it was a Horcrux at the time) also destroyed the piece of Voldemort's soul inside.

 File:DumbleHarryLucius.jpg
Harry proved Ginny's innocence and pointed an accusing finger at the true culprit — Lucius. Lucius challenged the boy to prove his claims, but Dumbledore who had returned to Hogwarts at the request of the governors, stated that would be impossible with the diary beyond repair. However, he warned Lucius not to sell any more of Voldemort's school things, as Arthur Weasley would likely trace them back to him.

Subsequently (and adding insult to injury) Harry in gratitude to Dobby managed to trick Lucius into setting Dobby free. He accomplished this by wrapping the diary in his own sock before handing it back to Lucius. Dobby then caught the sock after Lucius carelessly tossed it aside; therefore, he was no longer forced into the servitude of the Malfoy family.

 File:Dobby protecting Harry Potter.gif
In a fit of rage upon both losing his servant and being tricked by a much younger adversary, Lucius lost his normally controlled and calculating demeanour and tried to attack Harry. However, he was stopped by Dobby, who blasted him down a flight of steps. Lucius had no choice at that moment but to leave. While his role in the opening of the Chamber of Secrets could not be successfully proven, Lucius was ultimately stripped of his title as a Hogwarts school governor for threats against his eleven other colleagues. Despite his sacking, he still maintained strong ties with the ***Ministry of Magic***.

## Physical description

 File:Lucius Malfoy Headshot.JPG
Lucius had a pale, pointed face, with pale blond hair and cold grey eyes. He often carried a walking stick with a snake head that contained his wand. After spending a year in the wizarding prison of Azkaban, possibly suffering the horrors of the Dementors' presence, his looks suffered greatly because of it, his skin taking on a yellowish and waxy look, and his eyes sunken and shadowed. His voice was also quite hoarse.

Later that year, after having been a victim of the Dark Lord's wrath upon Harry Potter's escape from the Manor, Lucius's looks took a turn for the worse, as he seemed ragged, and he carried traces of his punishment, meaning he might have looked beaten and bruised. It is likely that his looks might have improved upon the fall of his former Master once he returned to everyday life. As a Death Eater, he bore the Dark Mark on his left inner forearm; this had faded to a mere scar upon Voldemort's death.

His son Draco resembled him strongly.

## Personality and traits

> Good lord Arthur. What did you did you have to sell to get seats in the Top Box? Surely your house wouldn't have fetched this much?
>
> Lucius displaying contempt towards Arthur Weasley, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

As pretty much the embodiment of wealth and influence in the wizarding community, Lucius Malfoy took great pride in his aristocratic stature, and viewed himself as superior to ***Muggles*** and ***Muggle-borns***, although his views on ***half-bloods*** were likely more tempered as many half-bloods appear on the Malfoy family tree. He was also a very shrewd, opportunistic social climber who was good at controlling others, but behind his veneer of respectability, he treated people cruelly. He callously utilised eleven-year old Ginevra Weasley in an attempt to both discredit her father in the Ministry, and remove Albus Dumbledore from his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts. This attempt would have resulted in her death if Harry Potter had not intervened.

 File:Lucius malfoy.JPG
Lucius could be intelligent and manipulative when he needed to be, allowing him to gain respect and the good will of high-ranking individuals through his fortune and family name. He even had influence over Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge. Lucius's constant donations to important establishments were actually nothing more than bribing Fudge for classified information, delaying laws, and receiving undeserved rewards and recognitions.

While putting much effort into maintaining an appearance of respectability, Lucius's slick demeanour did little to hide his self-serving nature. He had no qualms about appealing to whichever side would be more beneficial to his social advancement. He was never unconditionally loyal because he didn't want to be put in a negative light with people on either end. During the Quidditch World Cup, he anonymously participated in the lowly torturing of Muggles but fled when the Dark Mark was cast in the sky.

In fact, rather than going to find Lord Voldemort when he lost all his powers in the first place, he instead pretended to have seen the error of his ways and tried to ingratiate himself to the Ministry of Magic. He claimed that he was always alert for Voldemort's return but when Voldemort pointed out that he had fled from the Dark Mark, Lucius was instantly silenced. Despite this, he did attempt to go through with Voldemort's plan of using his old school diary to open the Chamber of Secrets, not realising that the diary contained a piece of his master's soul (although Lucius was more focused on ridding himself of an incriminating piece of Dark magic when the Ministry was conducting searches).

However, in spite of his ruthless and prejudiced nature, one of Lucius's more redeeming traits was that he was very loving and devoted towards his family, especially caring greatly for his wife and son. He and Narcissa were indulgent and protective of their only child, though Lucius also demonstrated that he had expectations for his son, in one instance berating him for being beaten academically by Hermione Granger. In the end, along with Narcissa, he demonstrated that his family was more important to him than serving Voldemort, especially after Voldemort lost both the respect and trust he once had from the Malfoys. Lucius's love for Draco and Narcissa also allowed him to overcome his more self-serving side as he charged straight into the thick of battle during the siege on Hogwarts in an attempt to find Draco, eventually locating him after Voldemort was finally defeated and the battle came to an end.

## Magical abilities and skills

> It's time you learned the difference between life and dreams, Potter. Now give me the prophecy, or we start using wands.
>
> Lucius's fondness for martial magic, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Being one of Voldemort's inner circle and, up until the ***Battle of the Department of Mysteries***, one of his most trusted and valued allies, Lucius was obviously a very powerful and experienced wizard.

* **Love**: Despite his cold and ruthless nature, Lucius was one of the only ***Death Eaters*** in Voldemort's inner circle who was capable of feeling genuine love. Lucius cared deeply about his family, especially ***Narcissa*** and Draco. In the end, his love for his family drove him to abandon Voldemort and search for Draco, especially after Voldemort refused his offer to stop the battle in order for him to search for Draco while Voldemort searched for Harry Potter. His abandonment of Voldemort led to him avoiding another sentence in Azkaban along with his family.
* **Dark Arts**: As a high-ranking Death Eater, Lucius was highly familiar and skilled with all kinds of Dark magic and with the casting of Dark charms, being an accomplished Dark wizard. He was able to recognise the effects of such unfriendly spells on sight. When Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were captured by ***Snatchers*** and brought to ***Malfoy Manor***, for example, Lucius was able to quickly identify the cause of the former's appearance as the result of a ***Stinging Jinx***, even though his comrades present could not. The extent of his power and skill as a Dark wizard was shown by how he was able to successfully perform the Unforgivable Curses, which required tremendous skill and genuine malice, as shown by his proficiency at the ***Imperius Curse***, successfully placing ***Sturgis Podmore*** and ***Broderick Bode*** under control, which allowed him to carry out his master's orders. He was also known to enjoy the torturing of Muggles with Dark magic, along with his fellow Death Eaters. Furthermore, Lucius owned an impressive collection of numerous Dark magical artefacts and cursed objects in his home, many of which he likely purchased from ***Borgin and Burkes***, being a frequent customer there, and was also able to understand them thoroughly and interact with them. Indeed, even Voldemort trusted him to take care of his diary, one of his Horcruxes, speaking for his confidence in Lucius's ability to manage Dark objects, although his neglect and misuse of this item ultimately led to its destruction, much to his master's fury. He also used Dark charms (such as the jinx *Levicorpus*) when he lead fellow ***Death Eaters*** in torturing Muggles at the ***riot at the World Cup***.
* **Nonverbal magic**: Lucius was capable of casting offensive spells while duelling non-verbally, showing a great amount of skill in this field, given the high level of difficulty required in the casting of non-verbal spells, a further testament to his skills as a powerful wizard.
* **Intellect**: Lucius was a rather astute and wily man, having been a model student during his time as a student and even made a ***Prefect*** at his fifth year, a position bestowed upon academic high-achievers that had proven themselves capable, both in class and out. As an adult, his political acumen was such that it enabled him to effectively influence matters of state; being persuasive enough in conversation to win the respect of high-ranking bureaucrats such as ***Dolores Umbridge***, and the goodwill of various politicians, whom he was able to convince to make changes that favoured Lucius's own agenda over that of other important people. Indeed, throughout the First Wizarding War, Lucius was able to effectively balance his roles as both among the most prominent and politically influential individuals at the ***Ministry of Magic***, *and* the Dark Lord's second-in-command, while also possessing the foresight to prepare a contingency plan on the off-chance that he fell under suspicion of being involved with the Dark Lord by ensuring that he was owed favours by people in high places and could call in to collect them when necessary. After the war, Lucius retained his influence at the Ministry, even becoming a close advisor of the ***Minister for Magic*** of the time, Cornelius Fudge.
* **Acting skills**: Lucius was a capable actor, having been able to successfully pretend to be on the side of the ***Ministry of Magic*** during the First Wizarding War while he was actually the Dark Lord's second-in-command, and, even after being captured, managed to convince most of the Ministry that he had been an unwilling pawn and helped the ***Death Eaters*** against his will. He was also able to successfully pretend that he had no idea at all who was behind the Chamber of Secrets attacks while it was actually he who caused it and even when confronted by Dumbledore over this fact, Lucius was able to keep his emotion in check to avoid a confrontation with Dumbledore he most certainly knew he would not win. In the beginning of the ***Second Wizarding War***, Lucius was once again able to act as apparent ally to the Ministry while once more serving the Dark Lord, carrying out several acts of covert coercion in an attempt to steal the Prophecy of the Chosen One without being noticed and was only exposed upon his capture in the ***Battle of the Department of Mysteries***.
* **Leadership skills**: Lucius was a talented leader even in his younger years, as shown by how he was able to successfully keep his fellow Slytherins in check as a ***Prefect***. Throughout the majority of the First Wizarding War and in the beginning of ***the second***, Lucius's leadership skills made him the Dark Lord's second-in-command. During the ***Battle of the Department of Mysteries***, Lucius displayed his leadership by remaining calm and focused on the mission even when faced with the unexpected situation when Harry Potter and ***his friends*** made a run for it and split up to confuse them, which he swiftly handled by quickly pairing up the Death Eaters under his command so that they would be pursuing all the teenagers at the same time, leading to the ***Death Eaters*** rather quick capture of them all, and then leading them against the Order of the Phoenix, where they even got the upper hand until the arrival of Dumbledore; which led to the swift defeat of him and his allies. In addition to being unaffected by the mockeries of his cause and insults to the Dark Lord, he showed that if the objective was sufficiently important, he would not hesitate in leaving fallen comrades behind, focusing instead on seeing Lord Voldemort's orders through to the very end.

## Possessions

 File:Lucius Malfoy wand.png
* **Wand**: Lucius owned a wand which he kept in his walking stick. This wand was passed down through generations in the ***Malfoy family***.
* **Enchanted Cane**: Lucius owned a walking stick that was enchanted with the shield charm to protect him from spells. His wand was hidden within the stick for sneak attacks, so he could block and cast spells at the same time. The cane was also ornamented with a snake head at the top. This ornamentation was broken off by Voldemort in the ***Meeting at Malfoy Manor***, when Voldemort forced Lucius to give him his wand, under the assumption that another's wand but not his own can kill Harry Potter.
* ***Poisons***: In 1992, he was seen by Harry Potter selling Dark poisons at ***Borgin and Burkes*** because the ministry was conducting raids on private homes.
* **Tom Riddle's Diary**: When he became a Death Eater, Lord Voldemort trusted Lucius with a Horcrux. However, Lucius attempted to use it in a way to discredit his enemies, the Weasley family, by slipping it into the luggage of Ginevra Weasley. This culminated in a turn of events where the diary was destroyed by Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Wife and Son

Template:Dialogue a-b

 File:Narcissa Malfoy.png
Lucius and his wife, Narcissa, appeared to have a close and affectionate relationship. They both enjoyed being members of the social elite of the wizarding world and spoiling their only child, Draco. Lucius acquiesced to his wife's wishes when she wanted their son to attend Hogwarts.

Template:Dialogue a-b-a

 File:Profile - Draco Malfoy COS.png
While both Lucius and Narcissa spoiled their son, Lucius was the more demanding parent. Regardless, he spoiled Draco with everything from unlimited freedom to money, and personally purchased broomsticks for the entire Slytherin Quidditch team when Draco was made ***Seeker***. He was also openly critical of Draco's school marks being lower than those of Hermione Granger, a ***Muggle-born*** witch, reproving Draco for his lack of effort to show her up. Draco looked up to his father, often boasting about his influence and emulating him. He was furious with Harry Potter after the ***Battle of the Department of Mysteries***, blaming him for getting Lucius incarcerated.

Draco was terrified that his parents would be punished for his failure to assassinate Albus Dumbledore on Lord Voldemort's orders, and appeared to be close to accepting Dumbledore's offer to keep them safe before Severus Snape interceded and killed the Headmaster. Lucius also cared far more about Draco than about his life as a ***Death Eater***, as he was begging Voldemort during the ***Battle of Hogwarts*** to allow him to go search for Draco. Once it resumed, neither Lucius nor Narcissa fought at all, but instead went desperately searching for their son.

### Arthur Weasley

Template:Dialogue a-b-a

 File:Arthur Weasley profile.jpg
Lucius and Arthur Weasley despised each other, often exchanging insults when they met, and even getting into a fistfight on at least one occasion. Lucius disdained the ***Weasley family*** for its poverty and so-called ***blood traitor*** status; while the ***Malfoys*** prized their ***pure-blood*** heritage, the Weasleys accepted ***Muggles*** and Muggle-borns. He and Arthur apparently clashed multiple times over this at the ***Ministry of Magic***.

When Arthur proposed the ***Muggle Protection Act*** in 1992, Lucius was furious to the point of trying to sabotage Arthur by placing an old diary of Tom Marvolo Riddle's on Arthur's eleven-year-old daughter, Ginny, endangering her life as well as those of Muggle-born Hogwarts students, as this led to the opening of the Chamber of Secrets.

Also, Arthur never believed Lucius's claim that he had been under the ***Imperius Curse*** during the First Wizarding War, thereby indicating that their enmity likely dates back to their younger years.

### Severus Snape

> Lucius always spoke highly of you.
>
> Dolores Umbridge to Severus Snape, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Lucius was the first person in Hogwarts who offered kindness to Severus Snape and later took him on as a protégé during their Hogwarts days. Lucius welcomed him into Slytherin House when Severus was sorted there and Lucius was a prefect, and as part of a ***group*** of future ***Death Eaters***. It is also possible that Lucius protected him from bullies, such as James Potter and Sirius Black, as the latter seemed to despise him. Lucius continued to think and speak highly of Severus later in life, and Severus seemed to favour Draco as a student in his ***Potions*** class, leading Sirius Black to once acidly comment that Severus was Lucius's lapdog.

The fact that ***Narcissa Malfoy*** went to Severus for help when Lucius was in ***Azkaban*** and Draco had been given a dangerous mission by Voldemort demonstrated the trust and respect the ***Malfoys*** had for Severus. Severus, on his part, was the only Death Eater who continued to treat Lucius kindly after his fall from favour and was the one who convinced Voldemort to free him from Azkaban. It is unknown how Lucius reacted when he learnt of Snape's death and his true loyalties to Dumbledore, though it is possible that he was saddened by the death of his old friend and may have been sympathetic towards Snape due to his own disillusionment from the Death Eaters.

### Bellatrix Lestrange

> I TOLD YOU, NO! If you smash it — !
>
> Lucius's anger at Bellatrix during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Lucius did not seem to have very much respect for Bellatrix Lestrange, his sister-in-law, as the rest of the ***Death Eaters*** did. Bellatrix was a fanatically loyal Death Eater, who also fought for Lord Voldemort in the First and the ***Second Wizarding War***. Lucius was antagonistic with Bellatrix due to usurping his place within the Death Eater ranks despite the fact she had been imprisoned in ***Azkaban*** for fourteen years, unlike Lucius. Their differences in loyalty in the Dark Lord also fuelled their antagonism for each other.

When Bellatrix wanted to kill Harry Potter during the ***Battle of the Department of Mysteries***, Lucius restrained her. After the battle, Bellatrix told Narcissa that it was Lucius's fault that she couldn't give Voldemort the Prophecy.

### Dobby

Template:Dialogue a-b-a-b

 File:Dobby.jpg
Dobby was Lucius's house-elf. Lucius treated Dobby with cruelty and abuse and was very sadistic with him. Dobby feared Lucius, but did everything Lucius ordered him. In 1993, Harry Potter freed Dobby by making Lucius give him a sock. Lucius became very angry and attempted to kill Harry.

### Lord Voldemort

Template:Dialogue a-b-a

 File:Voldemort1998.jpg
Lucius was one of Lord Voldemort's most trusted and high-ranking ***Death Eaters***, serving him in both the First and ***Second Wizarding Wars***. Voldemort gave his diary Horcrux to Lucius to retain. Upon his rebirth in ***1995***, Voldemort questioned Lucius's loyalty, since he had never tried to find the Dark Lord after his fall in 1981.

Later however, Lucius selfishly throwing away the diary Horcrux, his failure in retrieving the Prophecy, and subsequent imprisonment in ***Azkaban*** made him and his family lose any favour in Voldemort's eyes, and the Dark Lord may gave Lucius's son a nearly impossible task to punish Lucius.

### Albus Dumbledore

> Father's always said old Dumbledore's the worst thing that's ever happened to this place.
>
> Draco Malfoy discusses his father's derisive opinion of Albus Dumbledore., Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)

Lucius Malfoy had a strong dislike of Albus Dumbledore. This is due to two reasons – Dumbledore believed in Muggle rights which contradicted Malfoy's pure blood supremacist beliefs. In addition, Lucius was a Death Eater, so he believed that Lord Voldemort was a much more powerful wizard than Dumbledore. Lucius always believed that Dumbledore becoming Headmaster was the worst thing that happened to Hogwarts. Dumbledore was Headmaster at least part of Lucius` schooltime as Lucius was in his sixth or seventh year when the Marauders started at Hogwarts and then Dumbledore was already Headmaster.

> Dreadful thing, Dumbledore, but the governors feel it's time for you to step aside. This is an Order of Suspension — you'll find all twelve signatures on it. I'm afraid we feel you're losing your touch. How many attacks have there been now? Two more this afternoon, wasn't it? At this rate, there'll be no Muggle-borns left at Hogwarts, and we all know what an awful loss that would be to the school.
>
> Lucius announcing Dumbledore's removal from office, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

 In 1992, Lucius Malfoy was indirectly responsible for the second opening of the Chamber of Secrets. This was an attempt to discredit Arthur Weasley but Lucius also wanted to include Dumbledore by using the excuse of blaming him for doing nothing to stop the Chamber's opening. Lucius abused his position as a Hogwarts Governor and threatened the other Governors to vote for Dumbledore's ***suspension*** after several attacks on Hogwarts students. However, when Ginny Weasley was taken into the Chamber to lure Harry Potter, the other Governors decided to face Malfoy and Dumbledore was reinstated. Lucius was furious that Dumbledore dared to return to Hogwarts to help Harry successfully save Ginny, but Dumbledore was aware that Lucius had threatened the other Governors. Consequently, Lucius was sacked as a Hogwarts Governor.

### Harry Potter

> You've lost me my servant!
>
> Lucius attempting to assault Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)

> You'll meet the same sticky end as your parents one of these days, Harry Potter. They were meddlesome fools, too.
>
> Lucius coldly threatening Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

 File:Profile - Harry Potter-COS Promo.jpg
Lucius was the father of Draco Malfoy, Harry's school bully. During their first years at Hogwarts, Lucius discouraged their rivalry, feeling it wouldn't reflect well on them to be on poor terms with such a famous person. When Lucius first met Harry in ***Flourish and Blotts*** in 1992, he pretended to be polite to him.

After Harry succeeded in killing the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, he confronted Lucius about his suspicions on how Ginny obtained the diary at the beginning of the year and then tricked him into freeing his own servant Dobby. Lucius was furious and from that point on, treated him with cool contempt.

### Cornelius Fudge

Template:Dialogue a-b

 File:Cornelius Fudge 2.jpg
Cornelius Fudge was easily and strongly swayed by money and power. As a result, he favoured people like Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy influenced and likely bribed Cornelius Fudge many times during the latter's tenure as ***Minister for Magic***, in return receiving favours such as delays in laws and given classified information. In the summer of ***1994***, Fudge invited Malfoy to occupy the top box with him at the ***1994 Quidditch World Cup*** final, thanks to his "generous" donations to ***St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries***.

Attempt to steal a prophecy concerning Harry and Voldemort.

### Rubeus Hagrid

Template:Dialogue a-b

Rubeus Hagrid was not on good terms with the ***Malfoy family***. He was disgusted with their pure blood supremacy, their bullying of ***Muggle-borns*** and ***blood traitors***, their allegiance to Lord Voldemort and their disrespect to Albus Dumbledore, whom Hagrid was fiercely loyal to. In turn, the Malfoys disliked Hagrid, referring to him as an "oaf".

In particular, Hagrid disliked Lucius. In 1992, Hagrid had to separate Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy from fighting in ***Flourish and Blotts***. During the 1992–1993 school year, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Lucius was indirectly responsible for the Chamber's opening. However, Hagrid was blamed because he had been framed by Tom Riddle for the Chamber's first opening fifty years before. As a result, Hagrid was arrested as a precautionary measure by Cornelius Fudge. Lucius was present at Hagrid's arrest, although Hagrid reacted angrily to his presence and ordered him to get out of his house.

Lucius mocked Hagrid by wondering how he called his small hut a "house". Lucius was only present at Hagrid's arrest because he had to inform Dumbledore that he and the other governors had voted on his suspension. Hagrid saw through Lucius and shouted at him accusing him of threatening the other governors. Lucius's response was to mock Hagrid's temper and advising him not to shout at Azkaban guards like that. This instance proved that Hagrid did not trust Lucius. Lucius described Dumbledore's decision to employ Hagrid as a teacher as "eccentric".

## Etymology

* The name Lucius may come from the Roman dictator Template:W, who extrajudicially executed his rivals. His name could also be a reference to the Roman Emperor Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, also known as Template:W. Lucius is a name that derives from Latin meaning "bright" or "intelligent" and is related to the name Lucifer, the first name of Satan, which may reference Lucius Malfoy being bright but evil, or just evil.
* *Malfoy* is derived from the French *mal foi* or *mal foy*, meaning *bad faith* or *unfaithful*.
* A Latin male first name. A character in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Lucius is the servant of Brutus, the leader of the conspirators who plot against and assassinate Caesar.

## Behind the scenes

* In the films, Malfoy is played by ***Jason Isaacs***. To prepare for *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*, and to get a sense of how nasty Lucius should be, Isaacs went back and watched **Tom Felton**'s performance in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*.
* According to Isaacs, the studio initially wanted Lucius to wear a pinstriped suit with his normal hair. Isaacs thought that Lucius wouldn't wear this outfit, due to his hatred of muggles and the fact that Draco was blonde, and came up with Lucius's signature look from how he'd imagined a wizard aristocrat would look.
* In Template:COS, Lucius pushed Harry's hair back over his head to view his scar, which does not happen in the novel.

* In of Template:COS, Lucius, during his encounter with Arthur Weasley, curtly says to the latter "See you at work", implying that Lucius himself may actually work in the Ministry and thus act as Arthur's coworker. However, this does not seem to be the case in the books, as Draco mentions in Template:OOTP that " *that "*he's always popping in and out of the Ministry", thereby implying he does not actually work there.
	+ The line in the film could also imply that Lucius has visited the Ministry enough times that he and Arthur encountered each other, making the comment a sarcastic joke on Arthur's part.

* In Template:OOTP, Lucius accidentally smashes the . I am told in the have not renounced the old ways, though, rather than you present a respectable .

ce. You are still ready to take the l\*In the novels, Lucius is not stated to have long hair. However, Isaacs requested long hair so that people could tell the difference between Lucius and Draco.

* It is interesting to note that like his wife, Lucius Malfoy (perhaps subtly) tried to stop Voldemort from killing Harry. In of Template:GOF, Lucius prompted Voldemort to tell the Death Eaters his backstory on how he returned to power ''after ''Voldemort stated that Harry was his guest of honour, which could have been the moment where Voldemort initially intended to duel and kill Harry. This, along with the courtesy and care towards Harry in the Department of Mysteries in the next book could establish that Lucius, as a father, does not like the thought of witnessing, let alone bring about, the murder of someone Draco's age, despite him being a sworn enemy.
	+ Lucius scolded Draco for badmouthing Harry, and reminds him that it was not prudent for him for doing so since the wizarding community regarded Harry as the hero who has vanquished Voldemort.
	+ In Template:DH, when Bellatrix Lestrange attempted to summon Voldemort after the capture of Harry Potter, Lucius tried to stop her and argued that Harry has been summoned in his house, so it was him who should summon Voldemort instead.
		- Also, in the films, Lucius's wand is concealed within a snake-handelled walking stick that he almost always carries with him. The walking stick may have magical abilities of its own, as Lucius is seen wielding it during a duel in the ***Battle of the Department of Mysteries*** until Harry disarms him of it, to which Sirius Black comments "nice one".
		- Isaacs improvised the scene where he kicked Dobby down the stairs, as he was amazed with the freedom the special effects gave him.
		- In of Template:COS, after Harry caused him to inadvertently set Dobby free, Lucius Malfoy was about to cast a curse at Harry, but was stopped by Dobby. It sounded as though he was about to cast the Killing Curse, because it sounded as though he said, "*Avada-"*, the entire curse was not heard because he was cut off by Dobby. The attempted use of this curse was the result of an improvisation on Isaacs's part, as the script did not specify which curse he was supposed to use, so he used the first spell that came to his mind.
	+ It is worth noting that the Killing Curse's incantation (*Avada Kedavra*) had not yet been introduced in the *Chamber of Secrets* novel. However, the film version was released after the publication of Template:GOF (where the incantation was first introduced), which may be the reason why Isaacs could utter the spell.
		- Similarly, his dialogue to Harry where he sardonically states that they should hope that Harry Potter is still around to save the day, and Harry's response, was an improvisation by Isaacs and Daniel Radcliffe, respectively, and was not in the original script. It was ad-libbed because Isaacs felt it was completely out-of-character for Lucius Malfoy to simply let Dumbledore have the last word.
* In the two last films, Part 1 and Part 2 of ***Deathly Hallows***, Lucius appears to be unshaved, having been put under pressure and stress by Lord Voldemort, not to mention being in ***Azkaban*** for a year or so, where he would have been living in poor state. As a result, he appears thinner and has bags under his eyes.
	+ In addition, Lucius did have a replacement wand in the 7th film, but was dispatched by Harry before he could use it.
* Lucius Malfoy is ranked Number 12 on the *Forbes* Fictional 15 list of the richest people in the world.
* A variety of Elder Futhark runes are depicted on Lucius's Azkaban placard. The easily identified ones are: Othila, which means "estate, heritage, possession" and corresponds to the Latin letter "o"; Ansuz (albeit rotated slightly), meaning "one of the Æsir (gods)" and corresponds to the Latin letter "a"; Uruz, meaning "wild ox" or "water"; and Mannaz, meaning "man". It is unknown if these serve any purpose (other than for identification, like the numbers and letters), though they may be a reference to different parts of his character. For example, Othila, which could represent his abundance of material possessions & wealth, as well as his emphasis on blood purity ("heritage").
* According to Lucius's actor, Isaacs, in the Maximum Movie Mode of Deathly Hallows Part 2, he believed after the battle, Lucius felt isolated from not only from everyone but his family as well.
* Lucius was not able to perform a Killing Curse. Instead, he was able to release a ***peacock*** from his inventory. (It's strange because he was able to kill.) This is because of the game's design, where the Killing Curse at Death Eaters and the inventory takes the same slot. It is likely that Lucius was "disarmed" from this ability because there were a lot of playable Death Eaters in the game who could perform a Killing Curse.
* The filmmakers had planned for Lucius to appear at the execution of ***Buckbeak*** in Template:POA and be outraged when Buckbeak escaped; however, Isaacs was unavailable for filming at the time.
* Recently, New Zealand biologist Tom Saunders named a new species of wasp after Lucius (*Lusius malfoyi*).
	+ According to Saunders, *"People see wasps as villains, as the 'bad guys.' But the truth is that the vast majority of wasp species are either neutral or beneficial, from a human standpoint. Just as Lucius Malfoy is pardoned after separating from Voldemort's allies, I'm asking people to pardon wasps in order to restore their reputation as interesting, important creatures."*
