Where did the Death Eaters come from? What name did they operate under originally? How did their hierarchy work? And where did the Dark Mark come from? For answers to these questions and more check out today's video of Harry Potter Theory.

Today we’re going to be discussing the history of Voldemort’s faithful servants the Death Eaters. Specifically we’ll be looking at their founder, how they formed, what name they ORIGINALLY operated under, how you can become a death eater, why some members WEREN’T purebloods, their role in both wizarding wars, and what happened to the Death Eaters AFTER the second wizarding war had ended.

Let’s get in to it.

It all started with a young orphan boy by the name of Tom Riddle who began attending Hogwarts School in 1938. Though on the outside Riddle appeared to be a normal young man, deep down he had an unimaginable number of demons demons that haunted him every single day of his life. Why? Well, Tom didn’t exactly have a normal chi*ldhood he was abandoned by his witch mother Merope Gaunt at the steps of Wool’s Orphanage right at the time of his birth.

Because Tom Riddle Jr never had a mother or father figure he also never had any concept of love, or family. Like many powerful, evil, and enigmatic figures of history Riddle had a rough start to his life and this paved the way for the dark path that he was destined to follow. But, when Riddle eventually began to act on his dark nature, and began pursuing dark endeavours he wasn’t alone, and he was able to bring many other dark witches and wizards along for the ride.
