He was a half-blood, as his mother Merope Gaunt was a witch and his father Tom Riddle was a muggle, a person of non magic blood. He spent the first eleven years of his life under the care of the orphanage and discovered he could make strange things happen, especially when he was angry. He entered Hogwarts school of magic at age twelve. Riddle became infatuated with his ancestry after finding out he was of Slytherin blood. He delved deeper and deeper into the dark arts eventually learning how to split his soul using horcruxes in an attempt to be immortal.

    Riddle changed his name to Lord Voldemort and developed a following of Death Eaters. Members would do his bidding and would wear the Dark Mark to be instantly summoned by him. Together with the Death Eaters Lord Voldemort tried to rid all the Muggles and anyone not of pure blood from his world. He discovered a partial prophecy stating that a child would be born at the end of July that could defeat him. In his attempt to kill Harry Potter he was almost destroyed as the spell backfired and he had to live for 10 years possessing the body of others. After possessing the body of Professor Quirinus Quirrell he was again defeated by Potter.
  • Voldemort's Downfall

    Voldemort believed his dark magic could conquer all. Albus Dumbledore told him from a young age that the power of love would be his downfall. His belief that he was invincible would be his downfall after the Battle of Hogwarts.
