BIOGRAPHY:
Rodolphus Lestrange and Rabastan Lestrange were pure-blood wizards, brothers and Slytherin students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Both were Death Eaters who fought in the First Wizarding War. The Lestranges were considered to be among Lord Voldemort's most loyal and trusted servants, and among the only ones who searched for him after his first downfall.
After Voldemort was defeated by Harry Potter when Harry was only a baby, Rodolphus and his wife Bellatrix, along with Rabastan and Barty Crouch Jr participated in the torture and permanent incapacitation of Alice and Frank Longbottom and were sentenced to life imprisoned in Azkaban. About fourteen years later, the brothers escaped with a group of other Death Eaters and fought in several battles of the Second Wizarding War, including the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle of the Seven Potters. It is possible that he fought at the Battle of Hogwarts, too. After Lord Voldemort's final defeat, Rodolphus was imprisoned in Azkaban once more.

A/N: The name Rabastan may be a play on Rastaban, the traditional name of one of the stars of the constellation Draco. It is derived from an Arabic phrase "Rās al-Thu'bān (رأس الثعبان)" meaning "head of the serpent". Rodolphus is derived from the Germanic name Hrodwulf, meaning "famous wolf". There was also a famous Nazi called Rudolf Hess.
