Nickname:
Reggie
Age:
11
Year:
First
Gender:
Male
Description:
Regulus is rather tall and skinny. Sirius's nickname for him is stick and lots of other things that shouldn't be mentioned.... He's got a bit of muscle due to his favorite sport quidditch. His eyes are blue, green, and grey. They change depending on what he is wearing. His black hair is rather long and he'd like to grow it a bit longer or cut it off. He hasn't made the decision yet.
Personality:
Reggie is a bit of a loner. Not altogether as outgoing or as crazy as his brother. Reggie has issues with what's right and wrong. He's a leader, just the strong silent type. He still looks up to his brother and would love to pull a prank with him. Reggie is a kid that you don't want to mess with. When angered he's scary.

Back-story:
Regulus (1961–1979) is the younger brother of Sirius Black. Unlike his brother, Regulus is favored by his parents over Sirius because he, Regulus, shared their pureblood prejudices. "Regulus got in a little too deep. He was attracted to it, but the reality of what it meant was way too much to handle."
Regulus is the son of Orion Black and his wife (and second-cousin) Walburga. The Black family was one of dark wizards. According to Sirius Black, Regulus's older brother, the Blacks believed that to be a Black made one wizarding royalty, and the family shared many of the Death Eaters' ideas about blood purity.
Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo, the Lion; another name for this star is "cor leonis" because it is situated at the lion's heart. Also, in Latin, "Regulus" means '"little king". It is another name for the Basilisk, which itself derives from the Greek Basiliskos, which is also cognate to "little king". Regulus can also translate to "petty king".
Wild speculation, partially based on the fact that J.K. Rowling has used name origins before (like using Sirius [the dog star] Black as the name for a man who can change form to become a black dog), might somehow tie Regulus to Gryffindor, as the house symbol is a lion. It has since been confirmed that Regulus was a member of Slytherin, but the possibility that his name is a reference to "lionheartedness" has yet to be addressed.
Alternatively, the basilisk connection could mean a predisposition towards Slytherin, as a basilisk was revealed as the especial pet of Salazar Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets.
The name can also be connected to Marcus Atilius Regulus, a famous Roman martyr. This might be a clue from Rowling, saying he died as a martyr. In his story, Regulus claimed to have been given a slow-acting poison in order to help Rome. This was a lie, but it served his purpose. Of course, this does not tell fans if Regulus Black drank a slow-acting poison in the cave, or if this is once again a lie.
Regulus is also the name of a fallen angel.
Reggie grew up with his parents and brother in their house, 12 Grimmuald Place. He never had many friends when he was younger, only his older brother. When his brother left for Hogwarts he was sad and wrote to him often. Sirius said in one of his letters that he was in Gryffendor and didn't believe in the "nonsense" his parents believed in. His parents were heartbroken. When Sirius cane back for the summer there was a huge fight, between him and his parents. Reggie was only nine, but from then on he vowed to make his parents proud. His parents drove their core values in him. His older cousin Bella often babysat him. She's his favorite cousin.
