Lord Voldemort Character
Tagged under Harry Potter, Husbando, Magic Users.
An immensely powerful Dark Wizard who terrorized wizardkind for years until suddenly disappearing one night, after
killing Lily and James Potter and attempting to kill their one-year-old son, Harry. The Avada Kedavra curse that he used
on Harry inexplicably backfired, rendering Voldemort almost powerless and destroying his physical body. It is eventually
discovered that he had not died, as the safety measures he had taken to prevent this acted accordingly; throughout the
series, Voldemort seeks to regain his former body and glory, as well as dispose of Harry, the greatest threat to both
goals.
He first appears under the name Tom Marvolo Riddle in "The Chamber of Secrets", as a memory in a
diary. It is later on revealed that he is named after his father (Tom Riddle) and maternal grandfather (Marvolo Gaunt).
In spite of leading numerous campaigns against Muggle-born and half-blood wizards, Voldemort is a half-blood himself,
being born of a witch mother and a Muggle father. Despite this, he denies his heritage and considers complete blood
purity a criteria for the "new wizarding world".
