[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
In his youth, Runcorn most likely attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and sat for his N.E.W.T.s, where he had done well. [1]
[edit] Working for the Ministry of Magic
During Pius Thicknesse's administration of the Ministry of Magic, Runcorn informed on Muggle-borns to the Ministry of Magic, subsequently leading to their arrest and imprisonment. In 1997, Harry Potter impersonated Runcorn when he, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley infiltrated the Ministry. The Polyjuice Potion used to achieve this impersonation was made with Runcorn's hair, obtained in the commotion caused when Runcorn ate a Nosebleed Nougat. The real Runcorn went home with an uncontrollable nosebleed, while Harry became a fake Runcorn and used the disguise to gain access to the Ministry.
[edit] Physical appearance
Runcorn is described as a very tall, muscular man with a gravelly voice. He also has a black beard.
