Hermione could feel her eyes widen when Rodolphus moved away to reveal the visitor as Alexandre Dolohov. It had been years since she last laid eyes on her brother-in-law. With dark brown hair and the same brown eyes as his eldest brother, there was speculation that Alexandre was the only one of Antonin's three brothers that shared both a mother and a father with him. The brothers even favored each other in their facial features and the general shape of their bodies. Dolohov genes had proven to be quite dominant. Antonin suspected that Alexandre was born as a result of a last-ditch effort between his parents to make their marriage work, but he never could tell for certain. Clearly, it hadn't been as successful as they might have hoped considering Aubin's appearance just a few years later. Maybe he was the result of an affair with his father's brother. No one but Elspeth really knew.
