Edward Tonks

Edward Walter "Ted" Tonks (b. June 19, 1952 – March, 1998) was a Muggle-born wizard, and the husband of Andromeda Tonks (née Black).

When Ted married Andromeda, who was born into a prejudiced pure-blood family, her family singled her out for scorn. The couple had two children, Nymphadora and Calliope, who both became members of the Order of the Phoenix during the Second Wizarding War. Ted and Andromeda were not members of the Order but assisted them occasionally, allowing the Order to use their home as a safe-house during the Battle of the Seven Potters.

When Lord Voldemort succeeded in taking over the Ministry of Magic in 1997 and the Muggle-Born Registration Commission was established, Ted went on the run. He was eventually caught and murdered by a group of Snatchers in March of 1998.
