Death Eater

Information
The Death Eaters are the followers of Lord Voldemort. The group primarily consist of wizards and witches who are radical pureblood supremacists, who practice the Dark Arts with reckless abandon and without regard to or fear of wizarding law.

Lord Voldemort uses this select group of wizards and witches during the first Wizarding war, employing them as his elite force. They often wear black hoods and masks with snake-like eye slits to cover their faces. Only the members of the inner circle of the Death Eaters had Dark Marks burned into their left forearms. When Voldemort touches one of them, each of the Death Eaters feels it, signaling for them to Apparate to their leader's side.

These ruthless and ambitious henchmen mostly consist of Purebloods, whose family heritage has forced them to join his cause. Others are also searching for power, wealth, opportunities or simply fun within his ranks, which leads to their egotistical reasons compelling them to fulfill the most gruesome tasks.
