Ignotus Peverell

Ignotus Peverell was a pure-blood wizard. Ignotus was born on 12 July, 1214 in Godric's Hollow. Ignotus attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor. After Ignotus and his two brothers graduated from Hogwarts, they decided to leave Godric's Hollow to start a secluded wizarding community. On their way, they came across a river which they used their magic to create a bridge on which to cross. Death appeared to them and granted them each one wish for their skill. Ignotus asked for a way to leave Death without being followed. Death gave Ignotus his own invisibility cloak, which Ignotus later gave to his son and was passed on through the generations as an heirloom. Ignotus died on the 18th of May in 1291 at the age of 76 in Godric's Hollow.

Ignotus was the son of two magical parents. Ignotus had two brothers; Cadmus and Antioch. Ignotus married and unknown magical woman and had a son, whom he gave the invisibility cloak to.
