Walden
Macnair is a tall, strapping, black-mustached man who works for
the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures as an executioner.
He was employed to execute Hagrid's hippogriff Buckbeak, but never
got the chance to do his job that day as Buckbeak was rescued
by Harry and Hermione. Macnair seemed extremely disappointed by
this turn of events, and one does get the feeling that he enjoys
his job much more than any decent person normally would.
Fittingly enough, Macnair is a Death Eater. He is apparently close
with Lucius Malfoy, and trusted enough by Voldemort to be sent
as an envoy to the Giants (where he seems to have made
more progress than Hagrid and Madam Maxime did). He was present
at the battle at the Ministry of Magic during Harry Potter's 5th
year, and sustained a jab in the eye by a wand. He was sent to
Azkaban shortly thereafter.
