Theseus is famous as a war hero by both his countrymen and magical governments abroad, sure, but Newt is also internationally (in)famous.
Well, Newt isn't really known to the politicians in foreign governments, but to the foreign auror forces/magical law departments, he's known as a badass motherfucker wrapped in a layer of deceptive politeness and shyness (the awkwardness is kinda real).
And Newt doesn't even really know how he got this reputation, he just really wants to help the magical creatures (Merlin help you if you get in the way he'll rain down hell's fury on you) that get trafficked by poachers. Sometimes they just happen to be the same criminals that aurors, both within England and abroad, have on their top wanted list for crimes even more heinous than poaching.
Whereas aurors have trouble tracking down these criminals, Newt is able to locate them using his knowledge on the creatures being trafficked, and being the excellent duelist he is (lots of practice from saving creatures from humans), he's able to subdue the criminals (most of have are known to be violent and can easily take down a team of aurors) by himself.
And Newt doesn't want a reward for catching these criminals, really, he just wants to save the creatures, but it just that - Newt has the stipend given to him to write the book, but with all the magical creatures he's picked up, he's kinda strapped for money to buy the supplies needed to take care of them, so he usually drops by the local auror department to pick up the reward on this week's criminal.
(Shit this prompt was way too long, see below for the bonuses anyway.)
+ Theseus getting complaints from his foreign counterparts on how his little brother is crazy as hell and showing up their aurors. ++ Theseus keeps in touch with his brothers travels, and gives the counterparts a heads up if it seems that his little brother is gonna fuck shit up in their jurisdiction. +++ Newt's blue coat is like his "uniform", when people (aurors and criminals alike) see the Blue Coat, they know shit is about to get real.
