R.A.B.

R.A.B. are the initials that were given on a note left with the fake locket that was at the bottom of a basin that once held the real horcrux. The note said that the writer had taken the horcrux and intended to destroy it. The note also mentioned that he was likely to be dead already.

The identity of R.A.B. is of late still unknown, yet, it is a common theory that the initials: R.A.B. stand for Regulus Alfred Black

This is because it seems to fit, and Regulus was once a death eater, and would have known about the Horcruxes. Also, it was mentioned in book 6 that Regulus got a punishment that was worse than being in Azkaban, and he is believed to be dead.

The only question in regards to this theory is why Regulus would decided suddenly to turn on Voldemort, but there are possibilities, perhaps he was never bad and was merely under the imperious curse, maybe he was upset when his cousin killed his older brother. We do not know for sure, but it is a possibility.
