Special Abilities: Any powers that Voldemort might have given him. Inner Circle. Death Eater.
Heritage: High society Pureblood
Family: Wife: Narcissa Malfoy
Children: Draco Malfoy
Sister in laws: Bellatrix LeStrange, and Andromeda Tonks.
First Mention: Sorcerer's Stone
Personality: Lucius is the epitome of a condescending pureblood. He's also a prime example of a Slytherin. He's cold, calculating, and self preserving to a fault.
At first, we see Lucius as merely Draco's father: Everything that we think Draco will be become. He's just the cookie cut Slytherin pureblood as far as we know it in the first books.
Harry has a dislike of Lucius, which is he finds out is indeed requited. Lucius' role takes on deeper meaning though, after he puts Tom Riddle's diary in Ginny's cauldron in the second book. As Harry begins to unravel the mystery behind Dobby and the Diary, Lucius is out trying to get Dumbledore taken out of his position as headmaster.
Harry then begins to hate Lucius the moment he got Hagrid shipped off to Azkaban prison. Well, that hate had been building up since Lucius insulted Arthur Weasley for being poor and a muggle lover. Harry finds out that all the Wealseys indeed hate the Malfoys, and vice versa.
After Harry defeats Tom Riddle and saves Ginny Weasley, he returns to Dumbledore's office. There he finds Lucius on his way out, and confronts him about putting the diary in Ginny's cauldron. Lucius tells him it's best not to snoop around, and never actually denies doing it.
Harry then finds out that Dobby, the eccentric little house elf that had been trying to 'help' him all along, belonged to none other than Malfoy himself. Harry then decides to out wit Lucius, and has him unknowingly give Dobby a sock. Dobby is then freed, and Harry is quite pleased with himself. Lucius on the other hand, is quite livid, and is stopped by Dobby from doing Harry any bodily harm.
By the end of book two, we know that Lucius is not the nicest person, and holds a vendetta against muggles, muggle borns, muggle blooded, and people with no vendetta against muggles.
However, our suspicions of him being a Death Eater really come into play in book 4, when Death Eaters attack the Quidditch Cup. Lucius was in all the right places, at the right time, to be a likely suspect for being a Death Eater. Our suspicions are verified at the end of the fourth book, when Voldemort returns to his body, and gathers all his inner circle Death Eaters to watch him kill Harry. We know for fact that Lucius was one of the people under the black robes.
Harry then reports that Lucius, among others, is indeed a death eater. However, no one seems to believe him, since Lucius was cleared of all accounts thirteen years before.
In the fifth book, Harry finds himself actually facing off with Lucius Malfoy in the Department of Mysteries. He gets away, but we now know, that Lucius won't think twice before killing Harry.
In the end of the fifth book, Harry finally get Lucius put in Azkaban. Chances are though, being one of Voldemort's most trusted servants, the he'll escape soon. So now we're left wondering what will come of Lucius?
