CFC: Wizarding War Heroes Special Edition

Remus John Lupin, born 10th March 1960. Bitten by werewolf Fenrir Greyback at age six after his father (allegedly) insulted Greyback, thus becoming afflicted with lycanthropy himself.

First known werewolf to have attended the esteemed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Member of popular Hogwarts pranksters, the Marauders, from 1971-1978, along with James Potter, Sirius Black, and future Death Eater (and traitor supreme) Peter Pettigrew. Despite excelling academically, Mr Lupin failed to find employment after completing his education due to his lycanthropy.

Skilled dueller who became a member of the (original) Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War; little is known of his life after the deaths of his great friends, James and Lily Potter, and the unjust incarceration of fellow Marauder Sirius Black, who was, at the time, blamed for betraying the Potters to megalomaniac, self-proclaimed Dark 'Lord' Voldemort (Tom Marvolo Riddle).

First known lycanthropic professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (or any other teaching institution), assuming the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in 1993 at the personal request of legendary Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Forced to resign his tenure the following summer when his affliction was made public knowledge, Mr Lupin remained a close friend to his most famous pupil, the Boy-Who-Lived (twice), Harry Potter. Proclaimed as (quote) 'The best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher that Hogwarts has ever had' (unquote) by the vast majority of his students.

Reactivated as member of the (second) Order of the Phoenix after Tom Marvolo Riddle's infamous 'rebirth' on 24th June 1995, Mr Lupin fought in the pivotal Battle of the Department of Mysteries on 17th June 1996, where he witnessed the death of his great friend, Sirius Black. Working as a spy for the Order, Mr Lupin attempted to convince the werewolf community to join Albus Dumbledore in the fight against dark wizard Tom Marvolo Riddle, an attempt that was, despite his valiant efforts, to no avail.

Prominent in the defence of Hogwarts at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, where friend and often-times champion, Albus Dumbledore, met his death.

Married to Metamorphmagus Auror and fellow Order member Nymphadora Tonks. Later, known contributor to Potterwatch; underground radio show broadcasting information to the wizarding community about events not reported by the Wizarding Wireless Network or Daily Prophet, both of which had, at the time, fallen under the influence of the Riddle-controlled Ministry of Magic.

Participant of the Battle of Hogwarts on 2nd May 1998 where both he and his wife were struck down during duels with Death Eaters Antonin Dolohov and Bellatrix Lestrange (respectively). Mr and Mrs Lupin are survived by one son.

First lycanthropic recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class (posthumous). Hogwarts' prestigious Most Outstanding Opponent of the New Year (M.O.O.N.Y) Award for excellence in Defence Against the Dark Arts has been named in his honour for his services, not only to the acclaimed school itself, but also in both Wizarding Wars.
