Mike - responding to himself but actually forwarding the information 
from Carol who found this:

>>> Carol:
That was Thorfinn Rowle, identified by Ron (along with Dolohov) in
"A Place to Hide."<<<


> Mike earlier:
> That was "Brutal Face", and I don't think we ever learned his name.

Mike - same thing:

>>> Carol found this quote:

"Harry's stomach turned over. One of the Death Eaters who had
witnessed Dumbledore's death was striding toward him" <DH ame. ed.
p.245>. 
Then added: "Brutal Face" *is* Yaxley. He's described in "Magic Is 
Might" as having a "scowling, slightly brutish face" <p.243>. <<<

Mike now:
Just goes to show what I've always maintained; Carol and zanooda 
know canon better than anybody else I know. You'd think I'd learn my 
lesson and not challenge zanooda's knowledge. But like LV, I keep 
going back to the same well expecting different water to come out. 
Does that make me a terrorist leader or just a sociopath?
