"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"



GENERAL APPEARANCE: Rod is handsome. He was much more handsome as a boy, but being a nefarious death eater and doing all the Dark Lord instructs you to do, can take it's toll. His once obsidian locks are tainted with a white streak running down the middle, but insult his hair and you're likely to be on the receiving end of some gruesome hex. He wears his hair long. He could never stand having his hair short and boyish like some people do. It just ws never his style.

His eyes are chocolate brown, but lacking the compassion that some brown eyes have. Most people think brown eyed people have eyes that look like puppy dog eyes - sweet and innocent. One could not think that if they looked into Rod's eyes. They would see nothing but darkness, hate, and anger. Lots and lots of anger.

He is tall standing at six foot five, and he uses his height to his advantage and to intimidate people. He likes scaring people.

He dresses eloquently and elegantly, but mostly in blacks and greys. There is no white in his wardrobe. But one can tell from one glance that he is an aristocrat, very wealthy and equally as snobbish as one would expect. His cold, closed expressions are indication of that, as well.

He ocassionally wears glasses mostly for fashion purposes (or so he claims) as he doesn't (in his opinion) ever need them. When he does wear them, they are usually charmed into looking dark blue or black like muggle sunglasses.
MOST LIKED FEATURE: His eyes
MOST HATED FEATURE: His nose, it's far too long in his opinion & his white streak in his hair. Unlike some he does not see it as a sign of distinction.
HERITAGE: English & French
ETHNICITY: Caucasian


"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."



GENERAL PERSONALITY:
CALLOUS - Rodolphus is far from loving. He doesn't open up easily, and he isn't about to. He is a callous person, criticizing and critical of all others. Especially those whom he feels need a lot of work ever measuring up to become anything other than disgustingly boring and average in every degree.

COLD - Rodolphus is more likely to throw out an insult to someone who is in mourning than to pull them to his bosom and comfort them. He isn't a very kind person, and that isn't about to change any time soon.

CHARMING - Rod is a rather charming person when he wants to be. He usually becomes charming to impress someone or when he's trying to manipulate someone into doing what he wants them to. His smile (when he wears it) can melt girl's hearts, but he rarely uses it to his advantage.

MISCHEVIOUS - Rod loves plots that involve him doing the 'wrong' thing. Being 'good' is rather boring in his opinion, and he would rather do something that is fun. So pulling pranks on people, even at his age as immature as it may be, amuses him to no end.

CUNNING - Rodolphus is rather cunning and ambitious and will use any means to achieve his ends. Usually at little cost to him, but those who have the misfortune of being around him or having to live with him. He is rather inventive and resourceful, never full out telling a complete untruth, but sweet little lies that have a bit of truth to them. If there's anything Rod loves to do, it is to confuse and/or fool people.

SADISTIC - Rod was abused as a child, so as an adult he is rather vicious and 'crazed' as some people would put it. He will not stop if he draws blood, in fact, he would likely want to draw more. He will beat people into submission even after giving him the information he wants to know, simply because he can, and because it gives him an adrenaline rush. He loves to beat the snot out of people whether with or without magic. With or without a wand, he can be rather sadistic and merciless.

UNFORGIVING - Wrong Rod, and he's not likely to forget. Like a woman, he can hold a good grudge for ages. Weeks. Months. Even years depending on the crime. If you want Rod to forgive you, you have to try hard and for a long time. Forgiveness isn't something that ever has or ever will come easily from Rod, like his respect and trust one has to earn his forgiveness.

MENANCING - Rod isn't the type to let well enough alone. He pokes his nose, sometimes, where it doesn't belong. He will rip apart your deepest darkest secret simply to prove that he isn't as tame as his wife would have one believe. He is rather annoyingly observant and sharp, and he will hurt you simply if he feels like it. He can be a rather persistent and menacing pain in the patella.

INTELLIGENT - Rod is smart. Sometimes when he knows things, he will not let on that he knows things - simply playing dumb so that he can use such knowledge to his advantage and to cripple whomever tried to pull a fast one over him in the first place. He, however, is intelligent in other ways. He is rather gifted at charms, dueling, and muggle dueling - the latter in most things including fists, knives, daggers, and guns. Not that he'll admit to any knowledge of these things.

SARCASTIC - Rod is one that is known for picking up and throwing out sarcasm. Sometimes it's cutting and caustic, other times it's simply irritating. Even with the ones whom he loves, Roddy is often sarcastic. He isn't the type to be tactful when you make a mistake, he'll make you feel like an idiot, and point out all the ways you are the stupidest imbecile that ever walked the earth.

CRUEL - Rod isn't nice or cuddly like a kitten or puppy dog. Nor nearly as affectionate. He is harsh and grating like a kitchen knife, and he will cut into your emotions simply to see your tears spill out like blood. Rod has always been rather vicious, but is more cruel than most would suspect possible of him because of the abuse he received as a child.

HARSH - Rod is a rough critic. He is very hard to impress, and it is rare that one would receive praise from him. He is quick to point out one's flaws, even seemingly unnoticed ones to 'better' someone. Some rather frown upon this harsh and critical behavior, but he isn't about to change any time soon.

CONDESCENDING - Rod has a 'higher than mighty' attitude which happens to annoy people. Like his wife, he oft irritates people rather than makes friends with them. However, unlike Bella, he can be rather charming. However, with his arrogance and harshness, it's unlikely that making friends would come easily to him. He will point out if he's better than you, but only if you make the mistake of infering that you're better than he is. Rod may not be the best at everything, but he is the best at everything he does.

SUSPICIOUS - One cannot be married to a sociopath like Bellatrix Lestrange and not be suspicious. He doesn't trust witches and wizards of whom he's not acquainted, and he hardly trusts those whom he knows. He's a rather secretive and private person, and those people who try to break those boundaries down are often greeted with brute force or a nasty hex. He isn't one that easily gives up secrets, if he gives them up, at all.

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."



GENERAL HISTORY: Rodolphus Artemis Lestrange was the first born son to two rather vicious purebloods. His father for whatever reason always hated him and abused him from a young age. He never confided in anyone, but his mother, whom he loved and adored. She was his confidante, and the one that cared about him. He never shared much with his brother, and he never told his brother about the abuse. But he was always jealous of the little twerp, even if he would never admit it, for somehow gaining their father's love.

Not that he would admit that he wanted his father's love, in the first place.

When he was six his first sign of magic occurred. His father's hand had been on their stove, because the stove had been off at the time. However, Rod hated him so much, that he made the dials on the stove turn and his father's hand was soon engulfed in flame. His father had yelped like a dog, and Rod had stood there grinning stupidly. Of course, he had a beating like no other for that, but it was of little consequence to Rod. Rod had it in his head that he could one day defeat his father, and once he was old enough he would bash his old man's skull in if the man got too violent. He would at least learn to leave Rod the hell alone.

When he was eleven, he was eager to go to Hogwarts - not to learn, but so he could get away from his old man whom he had never liked much. He knew that he would have to come home for holiday's, but that didn't really matter much to him. Just getting away from his father would be the first step.

When at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Slytherin for his ambition, cunning, and his pure blood. The latter of which was an assumption rather than an assertion.

When he left Hogwarts he joined up with the Death Eaters (then called the Knights of Walpurgis) because he along with any other self respecting Slytherin knew that mudbloods were the bane of any wizard's existence, and he couldn't see why there were people that opposed this vane of thinking. To him, it was only quite obvious that this was the way it was. Clearly, anyone who thought differently was a complete and total tool. Yet one couldn't simply go around and call these people tools. They didn't deserve that dignity. They deserved the same death as the mudbloods they so admired and adored. Though, he couldn't see why anyone in their right mind would think a mudblood could do any good in the world. They were filth and they were disgusting, more than his father - though, his father was rather close to being as horrible as they were.

His mother insisted that he be married. It was only proper for the first born son to have a mate, especially in a pureblood family. He didn't really understand why this rule applied to him and not to Rabastan, as well, but he never asked. He simply complied to his mother's wishes and married Cygnus's eldest daughter, Bellatrix, whom was closest to his age. He would have preferred Narcissa, but it would seem that was not to be and he wasn't about to put his foot out of line with a powerful wizard like Cygnus or his mother whom seemed to think that he and Bella were perfectly matched.

He didn't have the heart to tell her that she was sadly mistaken.

He married Bellatrix, and then dealt with the aftermath afterward. She was constantly bored with him, and he was bored with her, too. Though, they would end up having two three children together, he simply wasn't interested in someone who was as irksome as his wife. She simply drove him up the wall. There were times where he loved her, but most of the time he hates her and her infernal complaining annoyed him (even then). He would have rather liked to tell her to shut up, but knowing Bella it would only cause her to make a scene.

Now, Rodolphus simply focuses on his work for the Dark Lord, and trying to get others to join the cause. In addition to keeping the younger ones in line. Anyone who steps into his path that doesn't belong there will be whipped into shape.
