==Summary==
Tom Marvolo Riddle, better known as Voldemort, You-Know-Who, or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, is the leader of the Death Eaters and considered by many to be the greatest Dark Wizard of all time. Born through a Love Potion and descended from Salazar Slytherin, Voldemort used his immense power and cunning to gather an army of wizards and dark creatures, the Death Eaters, with which he could overthrow the Ministry of Magic and exercise his monstrous desires as he pleased.
This all ended when he attempted to kill Harry Potter, a boy a prophecy foretold could one day defeat him. When the infant's mother sacrificed her life in his protection, Voldemort's Killing Curse backfired and forced him out of his body. He survived only thanks to his Horcruxes, having split his soul seven times to make himself immortal, but only as a phantom, a shell of his former self. However, he persisted and slowly took the long road to regaining his old body and power.

Intelligence: Genius (Voldemort is regarded as the most powerful, skilled, and dangerous Dark Wizard to have ever lived, even surpassing Grindelwald. Albus Dumbledore was the only wizard considered superior to Voldemort. He was able to mastermind two of the most destructive wars in British wizarding history, effortlessly overwhelming the entirety of the British wizarding community. He was a child prodigy at magic, possessing perfect control of his abilities despite the lack of knowledge or training and his absence of a wand. Later, Dumbledore declared him the most gifted and brilliant student to ever attend Hogwarts, having earned an 'Outstanding' on all of his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams. As an adult, Voldemort traveled the world and became a tremendously powerful wizard of unmatched skill. He performed feats of magic thought to be impossible, and his accomplishments completely eclipsed any Dark Wizard that came before him. His magical prowess was so great that Dumbledore admitted that even the most powerful protective charms and spells couldn't keep him out if he was at full power. The combined efforts of all the professors in Hogwarts could not hold Voldemort off for long. Voldemort was extremely talented at every branch of magic, be it potions, transfiguration, or charms. However, his greatest affinity was the Dark Arts, and he managed to push the boundaries further than any other wizard to have ever lived. He is the only known wizard to have successfully created not one but seven different Horcruxes, a feat that both astonished and disgusted many other powerful wizards. He was also the only wizard capable of necromancy. He could implement several powerful defenses for each of his horcruxes, one of which was a curse that was so powerful it would have killed Dumbledore in minutes had Snape not intervened. Voldemort was a master of the three unforgivable curses; his affinity for the Killing Curse was so strong that he killed enough people to acquire an army of Inferi. His Cruciatus Curse was strong enough to break through a powerful memory charm. Furthermore, his Imperius was strong enough to control someone for over half a year. Voldemort also invented the ability to fly, defying the law of magic that stated objects could only fly with a charm. Outside of magic, Voldemort was also considered to be extraordinarily charismatic, gaining the trust and admiration of everyone in Hogwarts except for Dumbledore himself and manipulating several people, including his teachers. He successfully convinced Quirrell to serve him despite him holding but a fraction of his original power, earned Ginny Weasley's trust, and successfully framed Hagrid and Aragog for the murder of Myrtle. He was a highly successful salesman with his charisma, being the best employee Borgin and Burkes ever hired. With his encyclopedic knowledge of magical artifacts, he procured several priceless treasures that he would turn into Horcruxes. Voldemort was a born leader, and even before he left Hogwarts, he was already in command of a group of 'friends' that would later be known as the Death Eaters. With less than forty members, they nearly dominated the entire population of magical Britain in the first wizarding war. Despite his incredible ingenuity in virtually every aspect of magic, his extreme arrogance and megalomania usually hamper his intellect)
Weaknesses: Voldemort is highly arrogant and sadistic. He has some exploitable peculiarities, such as an obsession with magical artifacts, places significant to him, and the number seven. He has no understanding of love, which makes it hard for him to read the minds of others while they are feeling it and often leads to him failing to understand others. He is obsessively afraid of death and will be reduced to a fraction of his former strength in a spiritual form if his body is destroyed while his Horcruxes remain; if all of them are destroyed, he can be killed for good. When he does acquire the Elder Wand, it does not acknowledge Voldemort as its true master and thus cannot be used effectively. His arrogance often leads to him making unwise tactical decisions. 
Notable Attacks / Techniques:
Dark Arts: Voldemort is a master of the Dark Arts, considered by many to be the greatest Dark Wizard. He has extensive knowledge of curses and other sinister spells that even Albus Dumbledore would hesitate to perform. The curses were highly dangerous, causing Dumbledore's health to fail when he put on Marvolo Gaunt's ring and was exposed to the curse, almost killing him instantly. Even a jinx cast on the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts was a spell that Dumbledore could not reverse.
* Fiendfyre: A mighty bewitched flame animated by magic, capable of tracking targets. It cannot be extinguished by water, even enchanted waters, and takes on the shape of animals as it rages in an attempt to annihilate its target. Its flames are so intense that it is one of the few things that can destroy a Horcrux. While the spell is difficult to control, a Dark Wizard as experienced and knowledgeable as Voldemort can shape the flames more easily.
* Legilimency: The art of invading the minds of others through magic and then sifting through the mind to gain access to helpful information, a skill that Voldemort is a master of, using it even in combat to learn his opponents' future actions before they perform them. His power in this is so great that he can affect the entire population of Hogwarts simultaneously, communicating telepathically and causing great pain to some of them. It's also implied he can use it to influence, control, and even break the minds of others. He is also well-versed in Occlumency, the art of closing one's mind off a mental attack.
* Necromancy: Voldemort can animate his victims as the undead beings known as Inferi, similar to zombies but not identical. He has, over the years, gathered a sizeable army of these undead.
* Taboo: A curse that designates a certain keyword as taboo, revealing the locations of any who speak it to Voldemort and his allies. He has cast this spell on his own name, making it extremely risky for any to say it.
* Cruciatus Curse: With the incantation Crucio, Voldemort can subject a target to extreme, torturous pain, so intense that they can be driven into insanity by prolonged exposure to its effects. The curse is powerful enough that it can break Memory Charms.
* Imperius Curse: This spell, with the incantation Imperio, can be used to control others, putting them into a pleasant, dreamlike state where they will carry out Voldemort's intent.
* Killing Curse: The most deadly curse of all, the Killing Curse (also known by its incantation, Avada Kedavra) is a favorite of Voldemort's, who makes liberal use of it in combat. When used, it fires a green bolt of energy that will kill any living thing it touches, causing them to drop dead without any injury, though Voldemort described it as ripping his soul from his body when it backfired. While lethal, the bolt can be dodged, blocked with inanimate objects, and countered through sacrificial protection, nullifying its effects.
