Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (died 27, July 1997) was a Pure-blood wizard, and considered to be the most powerful Auror of all time. He was also a pivotal member of the Order of the Phoenix during the First and Second Wizarding War. Moody served with distinction during the first conflict, gaining a considerable reputation, as well as losing an eye, leg, and part of his nose while fighting the Dark Arts. As a result, Moody became overly-cautious and paranoid about his security. In the films, he is played by Brendan Gleeson.
