"I assure you, my Lord, I have never renounced the old ways. The face I have been obliged to present since your... absence...that is my true mask."
- Lucius to Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Lucius Malfoy is the tertiary antagonist of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and a minor antagonist in the subsequent books. He is a former Death Eater, the son of Abraxas Malfoy, the husband of Narcissa Malfoy, the brother-in-law of Bellatrix Lestrange, the father of Draco Malfoy, the father-in-law of Astoria Malfoy, and the grandfather of Scorpius Malfoy. He is a rival of the good-natured Arthur Weasley, patriarch of the poor Weasley family.
In the films, Malfoy is portrayed by Jason Isaacs, who was also the voice of Ra's Al Ghul in Batman: Under the Red Hood, Satan in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Colonel William Tavington in The Patriot, Admiral Zhao in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Captain Hook in the 2003 Peter Pan film.
He was introduced as the second film's main antagonist, but this was the plot to reveal the true main villain later on.

When Voldemort and the Death-Eaters came to Hogwarts for the final battle, Lucius came along too along with his wife.

Because Lucius' wife, Narcissa, lied to Lord Voldemort about Harry Potter being dead and it helped Harry to defeat him, the Malfoy family could use this to get a pardon.
