[harbinger-0f-spring]

Tisander Ophioneus Carrow was a loyal follower of Tom Riddle during their shared years at Hogwarts. Alongside his second cousins Narkissos and Liriope Carrow, Tisander served the Dark Lord faithfully, embracing the rising ideology of blood supremacy and lending his cunning, influence, and unwavering devotion to the growing circle that would one day become the first Death Eaters.

He was a man with a twisted mind, incapable of feeling any sort of genuine emotion beyond cruel amusement and obsessive ambition, regarding compassion as a weakness meant only for lesser beings. His presence was unnervingly hollow — calm and refined on the surface, yet hiding a cold brutality that surfaced without warning. There had never been a time where Tisander felt remorse for any of the atrocities he committed, finding enjoyment in "purifying" the magical world of the filthy vermin that were scattered across the wizarding community.

In 1953, Tisander's half-brother had gifted him Eurypyle Carrow, his niece — who was a year his senior. The two married, though Carrow didn't express much interest in his bride, which was good in a sense as it spared Eurypyle from having to visit the marital bed often. Not long after their union was made official, Tisander became the father of Amycus and Alecto Carrow, who both inherited his diseased mind.

Later in life, Carrow was suspected of having played a leading role in the death of his wife. In truth, Tisander was not the one who killed Eurypyle, though the identity of her murderer was never uncovered. Three years after her death, in 1975, Tisander himself was found dead in his study by a house-elf, poisoned by a substance that had been slipped into his drink.

Narkissos and Liriope Carrow are original characters of @evgeniawrites and @mars-and-theknights.

Morfydd Clark as Eurypyle Carrow

Eurypyle Carrow (b. 8 December 1925 — d. 12 May 1972) was the mother of Amycus and Alecto Carrow. Born with an unstable mind, Eurypyle was often taken advantage of by her deranged brothers and faced many forms of abuse at their hands. When Eurypyle was six, her mother took her own life, seeing it as the only way to escape the volatile moods of her husband. She did not attend Hogwarts, as Eurypyle’s father forbid her from learning magic—leading to the young witch developing an Obscurus.

For her whole life, Eurypyle was shunned from society and kept locked inside her family home by Lord Carrow. Around 1953, she was sold to her father’s half-brother, Tisander Carrow, who was thirty-three years the latter’s junior. Eurypyle had only been a year older than Tisander, and so together they were united in marriage. Soon after, in 1955, Eurypyle and her husband had twin children: Amycus and Alecto Carrow.

Eurypyle did not have a healthy relationship with her children. She was very emotionally and mentally distant, the woman’s mind lacking any sort of development past the age of twelve. Eurypyle rarely spoke to anyone, often remaining confined to her room during the upbringing of her children.

In 1972, she mysteriously died, though no one knows how. It was speculated that her husband had something to do with her passing, but others suspect that the twins were the true culprits behind Eurypyle’s death.
