Biography
Early life

Minister for Magic
Unctuous Osbert was elected Minister for Magic of Great Britain sometime into the late eighteenth century.[2]
Septimus Malfoy, a member of the powerful and wealthy Malfoy family, was an enormously influential wizard at the Ministry in the day and Minister Osbert was, during the course of his tenure, influenced to some degree by Malfoy's interests. Many claimed that Minister Osbert was little more than a puppet of Malfoy's, who would have been the de facto head of the Ministry.[2]
