Biography[]
- "Return, great avenger, with wings, from the water. Congratulations, Ophelia. Your sister lives. We all truly believe it."
- — Yaxley in Ophelia's ear
In 2003, Yaxley attended a wizarding ball with his wife and was busy socialising with Shafiq when the pair was greeted by Perseus Scamander. Scamander embraced Shafiq and then shook hands with Yaxley as he introduced him to his wife.

Like all of those present, Yaxley was horrified by the vision of a third Muggle World War, even more bloody that the last, that the Lord of Dragon summoned forth,
