...but the man who created the first cognivores is dead. Isn’t he?
He appears to be, but given the way matters go in the wizarding world, I wouldn't bet a significant amount of money on it. Belike he was a supporter of both Grindelwald and Tommy-boy and is still around under some suitable cover.

Would it help if I told you he is and he isn't around anymore?
Stay tuned!
