ĭescending from a long line of cold, brutal fathers that produced cold, brutal sons, while it is unknown just how close he was with his parents during his formative years, quite arguably the biggest influence in his young life was that of his father. Historically rather well-known for their cast-iron belief in wizards’ superiority over Muggles and espousal of pure-blood values, Lucius adopted the unfeigned contempt for the Muggle world of his elders from a young age and was encouraged to make friends ' of the right sort' when the time came for him to attend school, a sentiment Lucius would later follow to the point where he viewed those who openly associated themselves with Muggles to be a " disgrace to the name of wizard". Lucius Malfoy was born in 1953 or 1954 in Great Britain and raised in the lap of luxury at the ancestral home of Malfoy Manor in the county of Wiltshire in England a magnificent mansion that had been in his family's possession for around a thousand years.
