BIOGRAPHY:
Alphard Black was a pure-blood wizard from the noble Black family and was a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was the middle child of Pollux Black and Irma Crabbe, and brother of Walburga and Cygnus. He was born sometime after his sister and before his brother and grew up in 12 Grimmauld Place.
Alphard passed away of unknown causes sometime in 1976 or 1977; he was aged between 38 and 52. In his will, he left a "decent amount of gold" to his nephew Sirius Black, who was seventeen at the time. He was posthumously disowned and removed from the Black family tree tapestry by his sister Walburga, and Sirius believed that this act of charity towards him was the reason.
❝My Uncle Alphard had left me a decent bit of gold — he's been wiped off here, too, that's probably why.❞ –Sirius Black
