"The thief took the wand and for good measure, slit the oldest brother's throat. And so Death took the first brother for his own."

—Description of the first theft of the Elder Wand

This wizard (fl. between 1214 and 1291) was present in a pub when Antioch boasted of having an unbeatable wand. He slit Antioch's throat during the night and stole the wand from him.
