Regulus Arcturus Black II (b. 1 January 1961 – d. 1979) was an English pure-blood wizard, born to Orion and Walburga Black, and the younger brother of Sirius Black. He was an associate of the aristocratic House of Black, an ancient wizarding family that presumably dates back to the Middle Ages.

He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1972 and was sorted into the Slytherin house. Regulus became a Death Eater in his youth but defected when he discovered what Lord Voldemort would do to achieve his purposes. Regulus also discovered one of Voldemort's Horcruxes and arranged to eliminate it; yet, he was slain after obtaining Salazar Slytherin's locket in 1979.

Magical abilities and skills

• Flying: Regulus played as Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team during his time at Hogwarts, meaning he was a highly skilled and professional broomstick flyer and very talented at Quidditch, or at least so in his youth.

• Dark Arts: Regulus would have been experienced and proficient with dark magic as a one-time Death Eater. Regulus also had excellent and esoteric knowledge of highly advanced dark magic, as he was intelligent and knowledgeable enough to know what Horcruxes stand for, dark arts of the highest and most perverse levels that only very few would ever know, and even figured out that Voldemort made one when no other Death Eaters knew. He also managed to fall past the defences that Voldemort placed on the locket and managed to recover it in the Cave, though at the cost of his own life at the hands of Voldemort's Inferi in the lair's waters.

Relationships

Family

Parents:

Walburga and Orion Black

Regulus and his parents, Orion and Walburga, had a good relationship. Because his brother, Sirius, didn't share his parents' ideology, their parents told Sirius that "Regulus was a better son than him". Regulus' parents were very glad that their son was sorted into Slytherin's house and that he became a Death Eater after leaving Hogwarts, despite not being Death Eaters themselves. However, Regulus' parents were shocked when they learned what Voldemort would do to achieve his aims.

Children:

Cassiopeia Black II

Cassiopeia was Regulus's only child and daughter with Elizabeth Lestrange.

Siblings:

Sirius Black III

Regulus and his older brother Sirius didn't have a good relationship after their respective Sortings, in part because Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor. Sirius also disliked Regulus because of his ambition to become a Death Eater, but he was unaware that Regulus later attempted to destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Sirius regretted how young his brother died, and wished Regulus hadn't been so soft as to go along with what their parents told him to do. Sirius originally speaks of his younger brother with derision, though his feelings are later softened.

Romances:

Elizabeth Lestrange

Elizabeth was his first and last love in his Hogwarts years. They wanted to get married; however, Regulus died, and Elizabeth died soon after him during childbirth.
