Biography
Backstory
Almost nothing is known about Greyback's past and how he came to be who he is. While he was most certainly bitten and infected with lycanthropy, how he turned into the barbaric and insane monster he would come to be known as remains completely unknown.
Fenrir Greyback was in the First Wizarding War and was a ruthless Werewolf who took no remorse in killing. He was either infected as a youth or during his childhood. Unlike other Werewolves, he showed a delight in transforming, going as far as to express lupine tendencies and aggression in his human form.
During the First Wizarding War, he was convicted of killing Muggle children, and bought before the Ministry for a trail. However, Greyback passed himself off as a homeless Muggle man who claimed to be astonished at being in front of a congregation of wizards and horrified by the child killings. Given Greyback's stale smell and scruffy appearance, the court almost believed his homeless story, until Lyall Lupin, Remus Lupin's father, who was a court martial at the time, noticed the signs of Lycanthrophy in Greyback's face.

A few days later, Greyback found the Lupin home, broke into young Remus' room, and bit him as he slept. He thus paid Lyall back and gave Lyall a Werewolf with which to live with. Lyall tried to find a cure for Remus but none worked. He eventually learned to put up with the affliction and stress of the infection his son had.
During the Second Wizarding War
During Draco Malfoy's sixth year at Hogwarts, Greyback appeared at Hogwarts thanks to the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement whose other entrance as located at the shop Borgin & Burkes from the Diagon Alley. He was present with the other Death Eaters on the Astronomy Tower when Albus Dumbledore was murdered by Severus Snape and threw off the tower. During the First Battle of Hogwarts, Greyback also also set the Burrow on fire with Bellatrix Lestrange, allowing Snape to defeat Harry Potter and escape victorious.
One year later, Greyback helped the Snatchers, led by Scabior, to catch Harry, Ron and Hermione and brought them to the Malfoy Manor, home of Lucius Malfoy. He, along Scabior, became furious when the Malfoys tried to hand the trio to Voldemort like if they would have made the work, but he decided to remain in silence for his good. He was later chased away out of the Manor by Bellatrix, but Bellatrix committed a great error when she did so, because without Greyback, the trio were able to escape with Dobby from the Death Eaters, albeit Dobby was fatally stabbed.
