Lucius Malfoy (b. 1954) was a pure-blood wizard and son of Abraxas Malfoy and an unidentified mother, as well as the spouse of Narcissa Black and the father of Draco Malfoy. Lucius was educated at Hogwarts, where he was a prefect in Slytherin House. As a grown-up, Lucius was a titled wizard and leader of the Malfoy family, believing strongly in notions of blood purity and the authority of pure-blood wizards. He joined the Death Eaters, who shared his ideas on blood purity, and was experienced in the First Wizarding War.

After Lord Voldemort's first downfall, Lucius managed to avoid incarceration by claiming that he had been operating under the Imperius Curse. He and his family remained members of the social nobility, though Lucius continued to demonstrate his intolerance. He attempted to undermine Arthur Weasley's career by slipping Arthur's daughter an old school journal of Tom Riddle's, unlocking the Chamber of Secrets in 1992, and in 1994, he participated in the scandal of a Muggle family after the Quidditch World Cup.

When Voldemort rose to power, Lucius Malfoy once again played a crucial role as a Death Eater, taking the lead in the efforts to obtain the prophecy that Voldemort sought. During the ensuing war, the prophecy was destroyed, resulting in Lucius and his associates being imprisoned in Azkaban in 1996. Although Voldemort orchestrated their escape in 1997, he expressed disappointment in Lucius for his earlier failures and treated the Malfoy family with contempt. Ultimately, after the Second Wizarding War, Lucius and his family made a decisive choice to defect and were forgiven for their past crimes after Voldemort’s final downfall. Lucius and Narcissa later proudly welcomed three grandchildren—Elizabeth, Lucille, and Draco Jr.—following Draco's remarriage to Hermione Granger.

Magical abilities and skills

• Love: Despite his cold and ruthless nature, Lucius was one of the few Death Eaters who was capable of feeling love. Lucius cared deeply about his family, especially Narcissa and Draco. In the end, his love for his family drove him to abandon Voldemort to search for Draco. His abandonment of Voldemort led to him avoiding another sentence in Azkaban along with his family.

• Dark Arts: His former house-elf called him a dark wizard and a powerful Death Eater, being a member of the innermost circle.

• Unforgivable Curses: Lucius was skilled with the Imperius Curse, using it numerous times in the Ministry of Magic. Lucius was also qualified to use the Killing Curse on Harry Potter in his second year. Yet, he only managed to say the first part of the incantation before Dobby intercepted him. As a member of the innermost circle among the Death Eaters, it can also be assumed that he may have taken part in killing and torment via Crucio.

• Duelling: Lucius was a trained duellist and was able to hold his own against Sirius Black and Harry Potter simultaneously in the Ministry of Magic. He was also the only Death Eater, separated from Severus Snape, who had enough confidence in his capabilities to stand up to Bellatrix Lestrange and deflected one of her spells, which had been aimed at Harry, because he was concerned that she might accidentally crash the prophecy Harry was holding. Lucius was attending during the Battle of Hogwarts but did little, if any, battling during the war, because he was with Lord Voldemort in the Shrieking Shack for the first part of the battle and was searching for his son during the second part.

• Potioneer: While in school at Hogwarts, Lucius was noted by Horace Slughorn to be quite talented in potions.
