Ludovic "Ludo" Bagman was the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports in the Ministry of Magic until mid-1995, when he had to go on the run from goblins whom he had lost several bets against.

Bagman was once Beater for the Wimbourne Wasps Quidditch team.

Bagman was accused of passing information to Death Eater Augustus Rookwood the first time Lord Voldemort was powerful. He was never convicted, and it is likely that if he did pass any information to Rookwood, he did so innocently, not knowing Rookwood was working for Voldemort.

It is worth mentioning, however, that at least two people in book four suspect him of foul play, or at least mistrust him: both Rita Skeeter (unreliable though she is) and Barty Crouch Junior (masquerading as "Mad-Eye" Moody) mention this in the presence of Harry, Ron, & Hermione. Rita Skeeter says to Hermione: "I know things about Ludo Bagman that would make you hair curl - not that it needs it." This, however, may be a false alarm, as neither source is likely to be entirely trustworthy.
