Theseus is the Head of the Auror office in Britain and also happens to be the older brother of Newt Scamander, who he has always worried about (especially when he gets in trouble with the Ministry of Magic).
What is the relationship between Theseus and Newt?
Theseus Scamander was born into the wizarding Scamander family sometime around 1888, and had at least one sibling, a younger brother, Newton, better known as Newt.
Theseus Scamander was born between 25 February 1888 and 23 February 1889 to Mrs Scamander, who was a breeder of hippogriffs and was the older brother of magizoologist Newt Scamander.
What is the age difference between Newt and Theseus?
Theseus is 8 years older than Newt so I think one of the reasons he is so protective is because he remembers Newt when he was a baby and maybe even helped his parents <3. When Theseus is 10 and his mother is sick, he pretends he doesn't like to take care of his baby brother but the truth is that he loves it.

Does Newt Scamander have autism?
Examining Newt Scamander's social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and special interests and routines offers valuable insights into his character. While some argue that these traits align with autism, it is important to note that the character's creators have not explicitly confirmed his autism spectrum diagnosis.
How I interpret the Fantastic Beasts films' Newt Scamander is he had experienced an emotional connection with Leta Lestrange back at Hogwarts and Tina is the only person since who has approached similar attraction and understanding. Newt had fallen out of love with Leta and is beginning to fall for Tina.
She is the fiancee of Theseus Scamander and a former love interest of Newt Scamander, daughter of Corvus and Laurena Lestrange through the Imperious curse, and half-sister of Yusuf Kama.
Newt and Leta effectively ended when Leta got engaged to Newt's brother. Whatever her motivation, and whatever her feelings towards Theseus and Newt, there really isn't any coming back from that.
First, Newt met Tina Goldstein - who is missing from Fantastic Beasts 3 - in New York, and the two had a mutual, yet awkward, attraction towards each other. However, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald introduced Leta Lestrange, Newt's childhood best friend, and first love.
His help is often sought by his former professor Albus Dumbledore in the mission to defeat the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Newt ends up playing a vital role in the downfall of Grindelwald, during which Newt meets and falls in love with his future wife Tina.
He is in love with Hippolyta and is excited to marry her. However, he does agree to enforce the law where Hermia is concerned and agrees with Egeus her father that she should obey his wishes or face death. “To you your father should be a god” (Act 1 Scene 1, Line 47).
Once Grindelwald had retreated and peace was restored, Bunty and Newt spoke and she peacefully realised that she was better off, and absolved her feelings for Newt as she realised Newt was indeed in love and was continuing speaking to Porpentina Goldstein.
It was hinted that newt held a small resentment towards Theseus, as he remarked to Tina that he was glad seeing her overpower her brother, calling it the one of the greatest moments of his life. However, Theseus still remained affectionate and civil towards his younger brother.
Born as Bellatrix Black, Bellatrix married into the Lestrange family, meaning she and Leta aren't related by blood. That makes Leta related to Bellatrix's husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, although that connection is no easier to find.
She married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts "because it was expected of her" to marry a pure-blood. However, Rowling stated in an interview that Bellatrix truly loved Voldemort.
Children: Newt and Tina have at least one son. Grandchildren: At least one grandson, Rolf Scamander, who married Luna Lovegood. They have twin sons, Lorcan and Lysander.
As mentioned earlier, this is probably how he met his fiancée, Leta Lestrange, who also works at the Ministry. So, things seem to be going pretty well for Theseus – apart from his strained relationship with his little brother.
From Leta's perspective, this makes enough sense. She is only a child when she decides to swap her half-brother for a new baby due to his excessive crying, so it would stand to reason that in her mind, that she could pull the old switcheroo and nobody would be the wiser.
Throughout the film, Leta hints that she has a horrible, dark past involving her dead brother. Eventually, it's revealed that when she was a child living in London, her father sent her and her brother away to America. The ship they were on sank and her infant brother perished – and that ship, was the Titanic.
Leta Lestrange is therefore directly connected to the most fascinating of wizard families, the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black. Generation X of the family — brothers Sirius and Regulus and their cousins Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa — present a fascinating microcosm of the entire wizarding war.
Newt's appearance on the Marauder's Map fits with the Harry Potter timeline, as he would have been alive and potentially visiting Hogwarts at the time.
