Name:Kingsley Shacklebolt
Age: 41
Birthday:August 16, 1956
Bloodline: Half-Blood
Why are they important to this plot line?:Kingsley is very skilled Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He is also the secretary to the muggle Prime Minister.
Physical Description:Kingsley is a tall, black wizard with a bald head. He has a deep, slow, calming voice and wears a single gold hoop earring. He has dark eyes. Possibly dark brown if not black.
Personality:Kingsley is a proud wizard. He doesn't like to gloat about his accomplishments. He is loyal to his friends. He helped Sirius by leading the hunt and leading it away from Sirius's actual location. He also tried to press Sirius's innocence through The Quibbler. His loyalty to Dumbledore led him to modify Marietta Edgecombe's memory before she could tell the Minister about the DA. (Couldn't really come up with anything else, hope this will suffice.)
Likes: Serving the Order, his friends, his job.
Dislikes: The Dark Lord, Death Eaters, probably even the Minister.
History: Kingsley went to Hogwarts as a Gryffindor. Kingsley desired to be an Auror his whole life. His father was an Auror and he followed in his footsteps. Kingsley worked for the Ministry for many years and acquired the status of Senior Auror.
Kingsley Shacklebolt volunteered to be one of the members of the Advance Guard that escorted Harry Potter from the Dursleys' home to 12 Grimmauld Place during the summer of 1995. Kingsley worked for the Ministry of Magic as an Auror. Kingsley was also a member of the second Order of the Phoenix, which reformed in 1995 to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
Due to Cornelius Fudge's blatant refusal to believe Dumbledore about Voldemort's return, Kingsley was forced to keep his membership in the Order a secret to protect his position at the Ministry. At work, he and Arthur Weasley pretended to be nothing more than mere acquaintances when, in actuality, they had become friends through the Order. Before Harry's trial at the Ministry of Magic, Kingsley approached Arthur under the guise of needing information from the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department where Arthur worked. In private, Kingsley slipped Arthur a copy of The Quibbler for Sirius Black. As the Auror in charge of the manhunt for Sirius, and knowing of Sirius' innocence, he purposely sabotaged the investigation, following fake leads and guiding the search away from Sirius's actual location. The magazine Kingsley slipped to Arthur was a wizard tabloid featuring a particularly far-fetched story that claimed Sirius Black was actually a rock-star by the name of Stubby Boardman and innocent of the crimes for which he'd been imprisoned. Kingsley thought the article would amuse Sirius. Ironically, The Quibbler, although considered an untruthful rag by most respectable witches and wizards, was the only public source to even suggest that Sirius may have been innocent.
Kingsley was one of the two Aurors Fudge brought to Hogwarts with him on the night the DA was discovered by Dolores Umbridge. Fudge was looking for an excuse to expel and discredit Harry, who broke ministry-imposed school rules by organizing the DA (Dumbledore's Army--a Defense Against the Dark Arts club formed as a result of Professor Umbridge's lack of practical teaching in DADA) and holding regular meetings. Marietta Edgecombe, a Ravenclaw girl, was going to tell on Harry, but never got the chance. While no one was paying attention, Kingsley cast a spell on Marietta, modifying her memory and saving Harry from expulsion. When Umbridge, furious that her witness was being uncooperative, forcefully shook Marietta, it was Kingsley who quickly stepped forward to stop her and advised her to calm down. From Umbridge's immediate reaction, it can be assumed that Kingsley was known as a very capable wizard and respected for his abilities.
To save Harry, Dumbledore told Fudge he was in charge of arranging the DA. When Fudge ordered Kingsley and Dawlish (the other Auror) to apprehend Dumbledore, Dumbledore was forced to hex Kingsley along with the other Ministry personnel in the room. While Dumbledore did not want to hex Kingsley, he could not risk rousing Fudge's suspicions. Before leaving, Dumbledore commented admiringly that Kingsley was very quick to modify Marietta's memory and asked Professor McGonagall to apologize to Kingsley for the hex.
Kingsley was also one of the five Order members who went to the Department of Mysteries to rescue Harry and his friends from the Death Eaters. Along with Sirius, Remus Lupin, Mad-Eye Moody, and Tonks, Kingsley quickly engaged the Death Eaters to pull their attention away from Harry, Neville Longbottom, and the prophecy. At one point, Kingsley was dueling with a Death Eater named Rookwood. At another point, he dueled two Death Eaters at once. If he sustained any injuries, they were not serious enough to be mentioned in the text.
Upon meeting Harry, Kingsley commented to Remus that Harry looked exactly like James. Kingsley never knew James. He had only ever made his acquaintance. Kingsley wasn't one of the members of the original Order. He joined the Order after it's reformation in 1995.
During the summer of 1996, Cornelius Fudge was removed from his position as Minister of Magic. When he went to visit the Prime Minister, he and the new minister, Rufus Scrimgeour, informed the Prime Minister that Kingsley--who also worked as one of the secretaries in the Prime Minister's outer office--was actually a wizard. The Prime Minister was shocked at this information, but remarked that Kingsley was "highly efficient," getting through "twice the work" the rest of the secretaries managed to get through. From this information, it becomes clear that Kingsley pulled not double, but triple duty: working as an Auror, an Order member, and posing as a secretary to the Prime Minister.
After the death of Alastor Moody Kingsley was appointed head Auror. After the fall of the Dark Lord Kingsley helped weed out all of traitors within the Ministry. Since the newly appointed Minister, after the death of Rufus Scrimgeour, had been under the Imperius curse, Kingsley was appointed as a temporary Minister of Magic.
