Sirius Black I

Sirius Black I (b.1845 d.1853) was an English Pure-Blood wizard and the eldest son of Cygnus Black I and Ella Max, older brother of Phineas Nigellus, Elladora and Iola. Perhaps one of the most tragic members of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Sirius was a sickly child riddled with illness and infection. He spent much of his very short life in St. Mungo's being cared for by Healers. It was there that Sirius' eyes were opened to the kindness and generosity of others, particularly the Muggle-Born healer who tried to save him, and it is thought that had he survived to adulthood to claim the title of patriarch, the House of Black might have become a more tolerable family.
