History Characters / FantasticBeastsOthers

* HateSink: A Corrupt politician who bends to Grindelwald

* FaceDeathWithDignity: He and his wife are ultimately fine with dying after the stone is destroyed; helps that they still have enough elixir left to get all their affairs in order before the end arrives.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Dumbledore implies he doesn't mind dying and sees it like going to bed after a very long day. In fact, the second Fantastic Beasts film show that he has that ancient Greek horror, eternal life without eternal youth. He's so frail that a simple handshake breaks his hand.
* WizardsLiveLonger: Thanks to the Elixir of Life, he is about 600 years old during the events of ''Crimes of Gridelwald''. He and his wife Perenelle are 665 and 658 respectively by the time Harry Potter first attends Hogwarts[[note]]It's possible that they're even ''older'' as the book is described as being "old" when Hermione reads it (the real Flamel's birth year would make him 650-51).[[/note]]

* SavedByCanon: For the ''Fantastic Beasts'' series, at least. Canonically, he lives until shortly after the ending of Book/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone, which is several decades away in-universe.

*** ''Secrets of Dumbledore'' goes futher, by having Queenie read his thoughts and learn one of his deepest regrets is never getting to know Leta more [[spoiler:before her death at Grindelwald's hands]].
** He's also quite against just killing people outright: He just leaves Newt, Tina, and Jacob out of the field so he can kill Credence and while he threatens Jacob when he continues to get in the way, he never quite follows through.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite his mentioned Jerkass attitude, at the end of the film, Travers seems to have adopted this approach instead, apparently after seeing the hard way his ruthless and straught-forward methods ended. He allows Newt to speak with Dumbledore alone, and when Dumbledore finally decides to fight Grindelwald, Travers just looked on as Theseus removes the Admonitors Travers had placed on him.

Newt's older brother who is the head of the British Auror's office. He's considered by the Wizarding World to be a great hero for his bravery during the First World War. He is one of many Aurors seeking Grindelwald. Theseus is a kind and fair man whose heart is in right place in regards to Newt but they butt heads Newt's living on the fringes of society and refusal to take a side in the war that's brewing.

* DecoyAntagonist: It looks like he's actually one of Grindelwald's minions. However, he's working on his own, and isn't actually that bad a guy, all things considered. [[spoiler:At the climax, he saves Nagini from Protego Diabolica, helps the heroes protect the rest of Paris, and goes back to Hogwarts with them at the end.

->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald''

* ChekhovsGunman: Leta [[MeaningfulName Lestrange]], from a family Potter fans should be ''very'' familiar with, was apparently a "very close friend" of Newt's during his time at Hogwarts, close enough for Newt to keep a small picture of her inside his luggage, though apparently they haven't spoken in a very long time. It's implied she was something of a PoisonousFriend as Queenie mentions she's heard of the Lestranges, and implies they have something of an infamous reputation (which should again come as no surprise to Potter fans), and after accidentally reading Newt's thoughts about her, tells him she was a "taker". At the end of the film, Newt admits to Tina that he has no idea what Leta is doing. After this brief introduction, Leta becomes a major character in the second movie.

* LastOfHisKind: As the youngest male in his family line and presumably the only male of his generation, he is thus the last Kama who can carry the family name.

* DecoyAntagonist: It looks like he's actually one of Grindelwald's minions. However, he's working on his own, and isn't actually that bad a guy, all things considered. [[spoiler:At the climax, he saves Nagini from Protego Diabolica, helps the heroes protect the rest of Paris, and goes back to Hogwarts with them at the end.]]

* YouKilledMyMother: He goes after Credence because he believes him to be Corvus V, son of Corvus IV.

->''"Now, it pains me to say it, because-well, I don't like you-but, you are the only wizard who is his equal. I need you to fight him."''

[[folder:Henrietta Fischer]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/secrets_of_dumbledore_henrietta_anton.jpg]]

* OutOfFocus: Doesn't so much as have a line. Santos is the more prominent of the candidates and she's the one who is elected at the end of the film.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Her face is on many banners throughout the December 2021 trailer but she's only briefly in the background of one shot and is out of focus. All things considered she's not a major player but her election as the Supreme Mugwump is a SequelHooks of sorts.

->''"This is the team that's going to take down the most dangerous wizard in over a century. A magizoologist, his indispensable assistant, a wizard descended from a very old family, a schoolteacher and a muggle."''

A pureblooded French Wizard of Senegalese descent and Leta's maternal half-brother. He comes to Paris to find Credence (whom he believes to be Corvus Lestrange V) and kill him, due to the SinsOfTheFather.

--> ''"Now, it pains me to say it, because-well, I don't like you-but, you are the only wizard who is his equal. I need you to fight him."''

!! Credence's aunt

->''"'A son cruelly banished. Despair of the daughter. Return, great avenger. With wings from the water.' You are the winged raven returned from the sea, but I am the avenger of my family's ruin! I pity you, Corvus, but you must die!"''
