Scabior

"Well, don't hang around. Snatch 'em!"

- Scabior to his gang of Snatchers.

Scabior was a wizard and a Snatcher in the gang led by Fenrir Greyback during the height of the Second Wizarding War.

Early life
Little is known of Scabior's early life. However, given his intimate knowledge of the interior of the Slytherin common room and its location, it is likely he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his youth, and was a member of that house.

Imprisonment in Azkaban
At some point in his life Scabior was imprisoned in Azkaban for undisclosed crimes, but was released sometime prior or following Lord Voldemort's usurpation of the Ministry of Magic on 1 August, 1997.

Second Wizarding War


Following his release from Azkaban, Scabior became a Snatcher during the height of the Second Wizarding War, catching muggle-born wizards and anyone who opposed Lord Voldemort, in return for gold.

He was among the group that captured Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley in the spring of 1998. On Greyback's orders, Scabior checked the list of truants, searched the prisoners' tent for Harry's glasses, read a cutting from the Daily Prophet, and expressed terrified awe at the thought of summoning Lord Voldemort. He was also the only member of the group not to jeer when Greyback expressed a desire to bite Hermione, instead encouraging his leader to restrain himself.

Having the gang taken the truants into Malfoy Manor, where Lord Voldemort had taken base, Scabior assured Narcissa Malfoy the prisoner they had caught was Harry Potter. Later, when Bellatrix Lestrange took Godric Gryffindor's Sword from one of the Snatchers, Scabior drew his wand on her but was quickly Stunned. Draco Malfoy then moved Scabior's unconscious form to the courtyard with those of the other Snatchers. Bellatrix state her intentions to kill the Snatcher gang, but it is unknown whether she did so.

Physical appearance
Scabior appeared as a tall man with long, tangled brown hair with a red streak. He also had fair skin and blue/grey eyes. He wore dark plaid pants, with black boots and a black studded belt. He was later seen wearing Hermione's pink scarf.

Personality and traits
Scabior appeared to be sarcastic, and also enjoyed his power while leading the Snatchers. Moreover, he teased Hermione, and also disliked the Mudbloods.
