Biography[]
Silvanus was born to thepure-bloodSelwyn family.[2] He had an early life of privilege and grandeur, but born too late to inherit it. It was said that he would do anything to damage the good reputation of his distinguished family. Silvanus provided opportunities for Rookwood to meet with influential people.[4]
In the1890–1891 school year, he set up a base of operations inClagmar Castle. A bounty was put on his head by one of the locals,Hyacinth Olivier, with the hope that if he was taken out, the Ashwinders in the area would dwindle. This bounty was taken up by afifth-year student atHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, whoassassinated Selwyn and collected the bounty.[1]
