Kingsley Shacklebolt



Kingsley Shacklebolt is a tall black wizard, he is an Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He is a bald man who speaks in a slow voice, and is known to wear a single gold hooped earring.

During his career as an Auror, he was in charge of the search for Sirius Black, and was questioned a few times by Rufus Scrimgeour though he always fed Scrimgeour false information such as Sirius hiding in Nepal.

As a member of the Order of the Phoenix Kingsley was a part of the Advance Guard that retrieved Harry Potter from number four, Privet Drive, and took him to Number twelve, Grimmauld Place. Shacklebolt again met Harry as Arthur Weasley was escorting him to his trial in the Ministry of Magic. Shacklebolt was present, along with the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, when Albus Dumbledore made his escape from Hogwarts after being blamed for building an army to oppose the Ministry. He was also one of the order members who fought at the Battle at the Department of Mysteries, during the battle he dueled with Bellatrix Lestrange though she defeated him.

In 1996, under the new Minister Rufus Scrimgeour, Kingsley was assigned to the office of the Muggle prime minister in order to insure said Prime Minister's protection.
