Death Eaters

The Death Eaters are a group of wizards and witches who follow the dark wizard Lord Voldemort. They are led by Voldemort, who seeks to purify the wizarding community by eliminating wizards and witches born to non-magical parents. The Death Eaters attempt to create a new order within the Ministry of Magic by spreading fear through the wizarding community and murdering those who speak out against them. Their primary opposition is the Order of the Phoenix. Death Eaters recognize one another by the Dark Mark, a sigil branded on each of their left forearms that allows Voldemort to summon any of them instantly. Their typical attire includes black hooded robes and masks.
