Bane

Bane is an intelligent centaur, who can read the stars and predict the future, and who despises and distrusts humans.

Bane was first depicted in the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on page 257 (page 185 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Paperback) when Bane and Firenze foretell Harry Potter’s future by reading the stars; “Remember, Firenze we are sworn not to set ourselves against the heavens. Have you not read what is to come in the movement of the planets?”.

Bane was included in the centaur mobs that forced Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid out of the Forbidden Forest after they visited Grawp; he was also present when the centaurs attacked Umbridge.
