Kingsley Shacklebolt is an Auror, who when he is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was acting as double agent for the Order within the Ministry of Magic. He was in charge of the search for Sirius Black in the Ministry, but knowing Sirius was innocent, Shacklebolt was supplying the Ministry false information that Sirius was in Tibet. Kingsley Shacklebolt knew James Potter, but it appears that he was not part of the original Order of the Phoenix.

Kingsley takes part in the battle at the Department of Mysteries, and appears to be very skilled at dueling as he is seen fighting two Death Eaters at once. After Sirius is killed, he continues the duel with Bellatrix Lestrange, during which Kingsley is hit by a spell that causes a 'loud bang' and he hits the ground 'screaming in pain'.
