Biography for
Lucius Malfoy (Character)
from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Lucius Malfoy, born 1954, is the father of Draco Malfoy and husband of Narcissa Malfoy. He is an evil, yet almost cowardly Death Eater serving Lord Voldemort, but he values the lives of his wife and son above all. Formerly a high ranking Death Eater, he is cold, cruel, and extremely unkind. He is a discriminant person, especially towards house elves and muggle born witches and wizards. Lucius was responsible for the Chamber of Secrets opening in 1992, when he slyly placed Tom Riddle's diary in Ginny weasley's cauldron in Flourish and Blotts. He was also responsible for the Department of Mysteries scheme of 1995, in which he, along with several other Death Eaters were captured by Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix. Although he was one of Lord Voldemort's most loyal followers, when it came to the final fight in The Deathly Hallows, Lucius deserted the battle in search of his son Draco.
