Brother to Alexander Last, with whom he pulled off the spectacular Gringotts
heist. Much of the trial hinged on where the money had gone, and Desmond's
brother Alexander stated under cross-examination that Desmond had built
an Interstitial Pouch, capable of constantly moving the gold to wherever you
weren't looking for it. Hundreds of wizards gathered in an attempt to look
everywhere at once, but this was, as Desmond anticipated, impossible. If Last
truly developed such a pocket, it is possible that the 11,300 million galleons
are still hidden all around us. Desmond was still a fugitive when his brother
Alexander was apprehended and brought to trial. At the end of the trial, just
as the High Discerner finished his grilling of Alexander, he turned to the
crowded courtroom, broke into a roaring laugh, and suddenly turned into
Desmond Last. Last was a Doppleganger, and had taken the form of the
prosecutor at his own trial. Alexander Last then disappeared from the witness
box; Desmond escaped in the resulting tumult and has not been seen since.
