"...-Nott, Rosier, Mulciber, Dolohov- waiting for your return... What devoted friends, travelling so far away in the snow and the night just to wish you good luck in trying to get a teacher position."

— Albus Dumbledore to Tom Riddle

Rosier was a Dark witch or wizard and one of the earliest Death Eaters of Lord Voldemort. They fought in the First Wizarding War and travelled to Hogsmeade in order to "wish good luck" to Tom Riddle in trying to get a teacher position at Hogwarts. It is possible that Rosier was deceased before the start of the Second Wizarding War; if they were not, they possibly fought at the Battle of Hogwarts and was presumably killed or imprisoned in Azkaban after Voldemort's final defeat.

Biography

Early life

Rosier was also one of the Death Eaters who travelled to Hogsmeade, to say "good luck" to Voldemort, during his attempt to ask for work at Hogwarts, along with Nott, Mulciber, and Antonin Dolohov.

First Wizarding War

Rosier fought in the First Wizarding War along with many other Death Eaters.

It is possible that they were related to Evan Rosier, a later Death Eater who attended Hogwarts with Severus Snape during the 1970s, and who was killed by Aurors in the end of the First Wizarding War. After Voldemort's first downfall, Rosier was presumably killed, imprisoned, or defected. If they survived, it is most likely that they were one of the Death Eaters who did not search for Voldemort.

It is unknown whether Rosier was still alive during the Second Wizarding War.

Behind the scenes

• It is possible that they were related to Druella Rosier, the wife of Cygnus Black. Given the timeline, it is likely that the two are siblings or cousins.
• They were possibly the parent of Evan Rosier and/or Felix Rosier. The former was a known Death Eater while the latter was said to have a Death Eater father.
• Rosier is not mentioned in the "Guide to Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters" on Pottermore.
• It's possible that they were one of the boys seen with Tom Riddle in Horace Slughorn's memory, though this is unconfirmed.
