Rudolf Brand is a Quidditch player and the Captain of the Heidelberg Harriers Quidditch team in the 1950s.
Brand was the captain of the Harriers when they played what has been termed “the finest match ever seen” – an exciting seven-day marathon against the Holyhead Harpies in 1953. At the end of the match, he immediately proposed marriage to Gwendolyn Morgan, the Captain of the Harpies (she hit him with her Cleansweep 5) (QA7).
Skills
Stamina to survive a seven-day long match, a bit impulsive and romantic.
