He was born into the pure-blooded, wealthy, and prominent Nott family. His mother died when he was eight years old, and his father was imprisoned in Azkaban for his service to Tom Riddle when Theodore was fourteen. He was raised by his grandmother, who was elderly but still able to care for him. In his sixth year, his father, like many other Death Eaters, escaped from Azkaban, and Matteo Nott, Theodore's father, made his son a Death Eater. Nott Jr. often remembered his mother, but he was not sad, as he had been raised to be callous, evil, cruel, dominant, and powerful. Theo could perform wandless magic, was skilled in Legilimency and Occlumency, and was generally an exceptional and powerful wizard.Handsome, cold, strong. His hair was dark brown and curly, his eyes were the color of chocolate, his figure was strong, and his smile was made of steel. He was marble.
