Biography
Early life
- "Snape knew more curses when he arrived at school than half the kids in seventh year, and he was part of a gang of Slytherins who nearly all turned out to be Death Eaters."
- — Sirius Black talks about Severus Snape's gang, which Rosier was a part of.[src]
Evan attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1970s and was Sorted into Slytherin house. According to Sirius Black, he was part of a group of Slytherins and aspiring Death Eaters which included Severus Snape, as well as Wilkes, Avery[1] and Mulciber[8]. They all entered the service of Lord Voldemort during the height of the First Wizarding War.[3]
First Wizarding War and death
- "Took a bit of me with him, though."
- — Alastor Moody to Albus Dumbledore[src]
During the First Wizarding War, the Death Eaters were fiercely pursued by Aurors.[3] Evan was eventually caught by famous Auror Alastor Moody around the same time as one of his comrades, Wilkes. The two resisted arrest, Rosier even blasting a significant part of Moody's nose off during their duel. Moody defeated and killed Evan.[3]
A year later, Igor Karkaroff, while selling out his comrades to the Council of Magical Law in exchange for his own freedom, named Evan, but was informed of his death, making his naming of Rosier worthless.[3]
Personality and traits
Little is known about Evan Rosier's personality, except the fact that he chose to resist and try to avoid imprisonment.[3] Rosier was courageous enough to resist capture rather than flee to save his own neck, something that Slytherins, such as Phineas Nigellus Black, called "bravery".[9] Furthermore, Rosier possibly had a pure-blood obsession and a passion with the Dark Arts, like most of his friends at Hogwarts.[8]
Magical Abilities and Skills
- Martial magic: Evan Rosier might have been a skilled duellist, as he was capable of fighting with Alastor Moody, a powerful Auror, and badly injuring him, blasting a part of his nose. However, he was killed by Moody during the same duel. [3]
Etymology
- Evan is a Greek name meaning "of noble birth",[10] possibly a reference to the belief that pure-bloods are the wizarding world's aristocracy. It can also be a Welsh name meaning "young warrior", which Evan Rosier was.
Behind the scenes
- Evan may have been related to Druella Black née Rosier, and thus to her daughters Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa, though this is unconfirmed. Given the fact that Evan was born in either the 1950s or the 1960s, Druella would be the right age to be his aunt, so it is likely that Evan is the cousin of Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa. Also, unlike the muggle world where people with the same surname can be totally unrelated, wizards with the same name are, usually, related in someway or another.
- In the book, Moody remarks on how Rosier had taken a part of his nose with him when they were fighting. However, in the film, Moody points to his eye since his nose was still intact.
