As I told in the introduction Alcatrax and Abbadon were the two words in which , the word Azkaban got it`s name. Alcatrax also bears a close resemblance to Azkaban as both are on an island and both are known to be ruthless facilities .So now we can discuss the the origin of Azkaban prison .Azkaban was created in the 15th century, but was not an original prison .It was most likely created by a little sorcerer named Ekrizdis .It is not confirmed that he was the one to build it ,but it is known that he was the first one to ever inhabit it .It`s location has never been seen by muggles and wizards. Ekrizdis was a extremely powerful and insane .He actively engaged in the worst kinds of Dark Magic.He lured ,tortured ,and killed, muggle sailors for pleasure .He added concealment charms around the fortress so that the Ministry could not find it .But when he died ,those charms faded and the Ministry discovered both the island and the fortress .Those who went there to investigate refused to talk about what they have seen inside it .The reason for this was not the prison itself ,but what was inside of it ...... Dementors . Dementors are vicious creatures .They will distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way .It is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving ..They infested the entire fortress .The very walls of the building gave off misery and pain .Many people higher up in the Wizarding World thought that it was an evil place that should be destroyed. But some worried of what would happen to the dementors after their home was taken away from them .These creatures were incredibly strong and impossible to kill and many feared that they would take revenge.Experts that studied buildings built with Dark Magic said that nothing but disaster would come of destroying the fortress .It was therefore left abandoned for many years and remained the home of continually breeding dementors .At that time the Ministry had a small Wizarding presence scattered across the country .But at this time the Statue was imposed .These scouted presents posed a security risk . This was especially true when witches and wizards would try to break out causing loud bangs, smells and light shows that easily caught unwanted muggle attraction .Around that time ,they started developing a new prison facility .Damocles Rowle became the new Minister of Magic .He had risen to power with an anti-muggle agenda capitalisation on the Wizarding community `s anger being forced underground .Sadistic by nature ,Rowle scrapped the plans for new prison at once and insisted on using Azkaban as the new prison .He said that the dementors could be tool for the Ministry and they could be harnessed as guards .He said that this would save the Ministry a lot of time and money by not having to hire human guards or having to build a new facility .Many experts on both dementors and buildings built with Dark Magic disagreed with his decision.But Rowle carried out his plan anyway. The Ministry of Magic that followed Rowle was also pro Azkaban. Eldritch Diggory took office after him .The fun fact is that he related to Cedric and his father and Amos Diggory .(Mr Weasley):"This strapping young lad must be Cedric ,am I right ". The time Eldritch Diggory had taken ,over ,the prison had been there for 15 years and no breakouts and no security risks .When Diggory
