| abstract | - Regulus became a Death Eater in his youth, however, he became disillusioned with Death Eater philosophy after witnessing Lord Voldemort's method of achieving his aims, and defected to the Order of the Phoenix; becoming a double agent, working closely with his best friend and Order spy, Evan Rosier. Thanks to his skill in Occlumency, Regulus was able to, with tremendous difficulty, keep his true allegiance a secret from Voldemort. During this time, Regulus fathered a child, Dean, with his Muggle wife, Jennifer. As the war heated up, Regulus abandoned them in order to keep them safe, lest the Death Eaters find out about them. After an unfortunate blunder on the part of Evan Rosier, Regulus took the opportunity to out him as a spy to get closer to Voldemort. He successfully infiltrated the Death Eaters at the highest level after killing Dumbledore (on Voldemort's orders, but at Dumbledore's insistence) during the Death Eater coup of the Ministry, and was made his right-hand man. During the Battle of Hogwarts on Halloween, 1981, Regulus showed where his loyalties lay in an act of heroism, rescuing his brother from death at the hands of Death Eaters. Unfortunately, he was severely punished afterward, and Lord Voldemort had his familiar, Nagini, bite Regulus, cursing him with a slow death, finally passing on in the arms of his brother; Sirius. His death was not in vain, as Regulus' actions resulted in the successful defeat of Lord Voldemort and the surrender of his Death Eaters at the hands of Severus Snape. His true loyalties were made known to the public, and Regulus was posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, and celebrated as a hero. He would have two nephews through his brother Sirius; Severus and Perseus Black, the latter's middle name being his namesake.
