This wizard (fl. between 1214 and 1291) was present in a pub when Antioch Peverell boasted of having an unbeatable wand. He slit Antioch's throat during the night and stole the wand from him.[1][2]
Biography[]
In the 13th century, this wizard was at an inn when Antioch Peverell came in after killing a wizard he had once quarrelled with. Peverell began to drink wine and brag about his new unbeatable wand that had granted him victory over his enemy, which the unknown wizard overheard.[1][2]
Envious of the wand's power the wizard waited until Peverell, drunk with wine, went to sleep. Slipping into his room, the wizard stole the wand and slit Peverell's throat to make sure he wasn't followed. The wizard then slipped into the night with his new powerful wand. It's unknown what happened to this wizard afterwards, though he likely suffered the same fate as Antioch and was killed by another for the possession of the Elder Wand.[1][2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The identity of this wizard is unknown, as is the wizard who presumably killed him.
- In the consoles versions of the video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the killer used the Killing Curse instead of a knife to murder Antioch.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, he is omitted. Instead, his victim Antioch Peverell was grabbed by Death but what happened to the Elder Wand or who owned it before Gregorovitch is unknown.
