Arcturus Rigel Lestrange "Family is not everything, nor is it nothing at all." general info
personality
Stars on a clear night, the darkness left behind after fireworks fade, the sound of typewriters and pens on parchment, flickering candlelight, a mother's warm embrace, the kind words of a stranger, the silence of a winter's night family information
biography Euphegenia and Rabastan found themselves together the way that so many Purebloods of the time did - they were simply assigned to one another. It didn't bother either of them much, knowing what it was they were put together to do. They were to sire children, to produce Lestrange heirs. Though it took several years, they finally had Orion, followed shortly by his younger brother Arcturus. Arcturus always felt like he had to make up for his brother growing up. Where Orion was fussy and finicky, Arcturus did his best to be the perfect son. He did everything his mother expected of him and more. He grew up alongside his brother as the Ying to his Yang, but as they grew older the brothers began to drift apart. He could see from a young age where the Lestrange family put their loyalties, and the path he was expected to follow. He could see what it meant to carry the Lestrange name. It was more than a name; it was a force, an independent entity that hung over him at all times. He could see the path Marianna chose, and he knew that was what Euphegenia and Rabastan wanted for him. At the same time, he could see the growing resentment and disgust for their family's way of life being nurtured in Orion. At school, Arcturus watched his brother move farther and farther from him and his family. He was sorted into Slytherin primarily because he felt that it was expected of him. In his first year, his father was arrested and sent to Azkaban for his crimes against the Ministry of Magic. Arcturus found himself alone with his younger brother and mother. Soon, though, Orion stopped coming home, and Arcturus was left alone with his mother far too often for his liking. Caught between his Death Eater cousin and his newly-joined Order brother, Arcturus began setting his sights on something as far away from the two as possible. He had seen the way fierce loyalties had sent his father to jail his brother away to London, and promised himself he would never get tied up in all of that stuff. He graduated from Hogwarts near the top of his class and moved to London. From there he started using his mother's maiden name, going by Arcturus Volt instead of Arcturus Lestrange. It worked with some, but with others the Lestrange hair and tendency to name their children after astronomical entities gave him away. Still, the placard on his office door read 'Arcturus Volt' when he became Head of Advertising at the Daily Prophet. He started at the Daily Prophet as a simple intern, then advanced his way to Head of Advertising by 28. He kept close to his family, and visited his mother often, but did his best to stay out of the tension between his brother and cousin. Still, there were still many times he found Orion waiting outside his apartment door, or Marianna sitting inside when he came home. He kept the promise he made to himself, however, and has stayed conspicuously away from all kinds of attachments, romantic and professional.
