"Well, don't hang about. Snatch 'em!"
— Scabior to his gang of Snatchers.[src]

Scabior (d. 2 May, 1998) was a wizard and a Snatcher in the gang led by Fenrir Greyback during the height of the Second Wizarding War.

Biography

Early life

Scabior: "Funny 'ow they all thinks we wants to 'ear that [they were in Slytherin]. But none of 'em can tell us where the common room is."
Harry Potter: "It's in the dungeons. You enter through the wall. It's full of skulls and stuff and its under the lake, so the light's all green."
Scabior: "Well, well, looks like we really 'ave caught a little Slytherin."
— An exchange between Harry Potter and Scabior.[src]

Little is known of Scabior's early life. However, given his intimate knowledge of the interior of the Slytherin common room and its location, it is likely he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his youth, and was a member of that house.[2]

Imprisonment in Azkaban

At some point in his life Scabior was imprisoned in Azkaban for undisclosed crimes, but was released sometime before or after Lord Voldemort's infiltration of the Ministry of Magic on August 1, 1997.[3]

Fenrir Greyback: "We've caught Harry Potter!"
Scabior: "I know 'es swollen, ma'am, but it's 'im! If you look a bit closer, you'll see 'is scar. And this 'ere, see the girl? The Mudblood who's been travelling around with 'im, ma'am. There's no doubt it's 'im, and we've got 'is wand as well! 'Ere, ma'am —"
Narcissa Malfoy: "Bring them in."
— Scabior's gang of Snatchers arrives at Malfoy Manor with Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger.[src]

Following his release from Azkaban, Scabior became a Snatcher during the height of the Second Wizarding War, catching Muggle-born wizards and anyone who opposed Lord Voldemort, in return for gold.[2]

He was among the group that captured Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in the spring of 1998. On Greyback's orders, Scabior checked the list of truants, searched the prisoners' tent for Harry's glasses, read a cutting from the Daily Prophet, and expressed terrified awe at the thought of summoning Lord Voldemort. He was also the only member of the group not to jeer when Greyback expressed a desire to bite Hermione, instead encouraging his leader to restrain himself.[2]

Having the gang taken the truants into Malfoy Manor, where Lord Voldemort had taken base, Scabior assured Narcissa Malfoy the prisoner they had caught was Harry Potter. Later, when Bellatrix Lestrange took Godric Gryffindor's Sword from one of the Snatchers, Scabior drew his wand on her but was quickly Stunned. Draco Malfoy then moved Scabior's unconscious form to the courtyard with those of the other Snatchers.[2]

On 2 May, 1998, Scabior participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, leading an army of Snatchers. Scabior nearly ran into the protective enchantments cast by the Hogwarts staff; which killed a number of Snatchers. After Lord Voldemort managed to destroy the magical protection around the Castle, Scabior led the Snatchers into the Covered Bridge, where he briefly dueled Neville Longbottom before the latter cast a spell making the bridge collapse and sending Scabior into the chasm below and his death.[4]

Physical appearance

Scabior was a tall man with long, tangled brown hair with a red streak on one side. His skin was fair and his eyes blue/grey. Scabior wore dark plaid pants, black boots, a black studded belt and was later seen wearing Hermione's pink scarf. [5]

Scabior's possessions

  • Pink scarf (stolen) - Hermione Granger owned a pink scarf that she put on a tree. This scarf was later stolen by Scabior and he was seen wearing it.
  • Kudu Skull ring - Scabior owned a ring with the form as a Kudu Skull head.

Personality and traits

It has not been determined whether he worked as a Snatcher for personal gain or whether he possessed a prejudice against Muggle-borns; Snatchers were generally motivated by the promise of a monetary reward from the Ministry.

Magical abilities and skills

  • Duelling: Scabior was a fair enough duelist as he was able to capture several rebellious Muggle-borns and other runaways, even kill some in battle. He was not, however, fast enough to draw his wand on Bellatrix Lestrange when she attacked him. Alongside many other Snatchers he was able to hold his own against Neville Longbottom during the Battle of Hogwarts and might have been able to defeat him if the bridge he was on did not collapse.
