Lord Voldemort. Harry's arch nemesis, most powerful practitioner of the Dark Arts, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
|
Above all else, Voldemort desires power. That desire is what drove him to the Dark Arts, and thence to evil. His name
has been feared above all others for many years, even after he was almost destroyed trying to kill Harry still most people
feared to even speak the name of Voldemort. He will do anything to gain mastery over others, including torture and murder.
It's hard to say if he now enjoys these things, but it would seem so, and he has shown his twisted path to some of his most
trusted followers.
Voldemort has gone through so many terrible transformations he is barely recognisable as a human being, and very nearly
isn't human at all. His magic protections sufficed to grant him a wraithlike existence after he failed to kill Harry, and
he only gained flesh by posessing Professor Quirrell in order to gain the lifegiving powers of the Philosopher's Stone.
In this period he was still forced to drink the blood of unicorns to live, and in doing so damned himself yet further.
When Peter Pettigrew emerged from hiding and fled to Voldemort's side, the Dark Lord was already regaining his strength,
but the ritual which required the kidnapping of Harry Potter for the blood of the enemy restored Voldemort to his full
powers.
Fortunately for all, Harry escaped death at Voldemort's hands yet again and returned to warn Dumbledore of the Dark Lord's
return. The speed with which Dumbledore was able to react gained Voldemort's enemies a valuable advantage and the Order of
the Phoenix was able to reconvene and begin countering his plans almost immediately. Hampered by the Ministry of Magic's
refusal to admit Voldemort's return, they are nonetheless proving quite capable of generating serious resistance to his
resurgence.
