**Arcturus Sirius Black** was the eldest son of Sirius Phineas Black and Hesper Gamp and head of house Black from the death of his father in 1952 until his own death in 1991. He was a WWI and WWII veteran and always a proud soldier. Although he never finished his education, he went on to become one of the most influential politicians of his time, managing the department of Magical Law Enforcement. He served as right-hand man during the legislations of Wilhelmina Tuft (1948-1959) and Eugenia Jenkins (1968-1975). He was in the running for the position of Minister for Magic but refused the post.

In 1923 he married Melania Natalia Macmillan and had two children with her: Lucretia and Orion. He also fathered three children out of wedlock. Kerenza Fitzblack, with his half-sister Lycoris and Lowenna Fitzblack with Eugenia Jenkins. His youngest child is Corentyn Fitzblack, his mother was a prostitute.

## Appearance and Character

Arcturus is very tall for a member of his family. He has a very broad, but muscular build, although he got slimmer with age. He is one of the only Blacks with bright, blond hair, a trait that usually only occurs once in every generation.

His eyes are said to be as cold as ice and not much different in color. He is very often descriped as being handsome, but with an air of cruelty around him. His wald is quite unique, even among the Blacks: he strides most elegantly, but still with the kind of power and dominance, that makes everyone want to step out of his way.

He is a very introverted man, who likes to pretend to only ever act logical, even though most of his decisions are made out of emotion. He is most loyal to his family, as well as his country. While he has a large sense of responsibility he's probably also one of the biggest troublemakers and most chaotic members of the family. He never really talks about any of his feelings, except to those he trusts the most, meaning, his mother and his half-brother Pollux.

While he has many positive traits he can also be very cruel and sometimes lack complete empathy. He only ever cares about his family or his gains, nobody elses. Kindness isn't a thing he knows how to do. It would be a lie so say he only killed on the battlefield.
