Voldemort

Biodata

Background / History

Hogwarts and Rise to Power

According to Anna, Riddle was in his seventh year at Hogwarts when Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald. He was handsome and admired by many female students, maintaining a humble, gentlemanly exterior while remaining emotionally distant from others 42.

By the time Anna was six, Voldemort’s rising power was accompanied by terrorist attacks affecting both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. Drawing on her knowledge of the original story, Anna believed he had already created several Horcruxes and severely destabilized his soul 1.

His influence extended into Hogwarts, where joining the Death Eaters became a source of prestige among some Slytherins. Underage followers bore Dark Marks, and factional loyalties intensified existing divisions between students. Anna began arranging institutional support for students outside his faction before entering the school herself 12.

Opposition from Anna’s Faction

Anna publicly rejected pure-blood supremacy at her first Hogwarts welcoming feast, directly challenging the ideology of Voldemort’s supporters. Her stance strengthened the Acolyte-aligned faction and attracted some previously neutral half-blood students 23 24.

By this period, Dumbledore’s developing Order of the Phoenix had begun fighting Voldemort, while Anna’s organization had secretly monitored the Death Eaters for several years. Anna considered cooperation between the two groups, but regarded the Horcruxes—and the possibility that Voldemort might create more—as obstacles requiring further research 37.

Voldemort learned of Anna through the Death Eaters. Bellatrix Black subsequently confronted her, only to be manipulated into accepting altered memories. Anna planted false information about herself and later suspected that Voldemort had seen it in Bellatrix’s mind, explaining why he had not sought her out 41 42 43 44.

Halloween Visit to Hogwarts

On Halloween, Voldemort visited Dumbledore seeking the Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching post and the Sword of Gryffindor. Dumbledore refused both requests. Unable to obtain the sword, Voldemort abandoned his immediate plan to turn the Gryffindor relic into a Horcrux 45.

Anna intercepted him near the Headmaster’s Office and greeted him as “Tom Riddle.” He immediately drew his wand, recognizing her shortly afterward. Although furious, he restrained himself because they were directly beneath Dumbledore’s office and because Anna wore an alchemical bracelet capable of reflecting curses 45 46.

When Anna offered him a Fizzing Whizzbee, Voldemort sensed pressure from the otherwise invisible Death Contract in her palm. He stepped backward involuntarily, his wand trembling, and ultimately left without attacking. Anna concluded that the contract caused their instinctive mutual aversion 46.

Previous Timeline

In Snape’s previous life, Lucius Malfoy recognized his talent and recommended him to Voldemort. Voldemort valued Snape’s abilities and entrusted him with important work while he was still a student 12 38 47.

Voldemort later killed Snape in the Shrieking Shack. Anna told the reborn Snape that Harry Potter subsequently defeated Voldemort, that his Horcruxes were destroyed, and that the Second Wizarding War ended in victory for Harry’s side. These events belong to the previous timeline, not the altered present 13.

Appearance

• Former appearance: Handsome during his Hogwarts years, with a polished, courteous manner that attracted admirers 42.
• Current appearance: His face is described as ugly and ravaged by experimentation with Dark Magic 46.
• Mirror depiction: In Anna’s vision within the Mirror of Erised, he appears bald, red-eyed, and without a nose. This description occurs within the mirror’s imagined scene 29.

Personality

Voldemort is intensely preoccupied with escaping death. Anna associates his fragmented soul with increasing paranoia and an extraordinary desire for eternal life. His decision to abandon his original name is also a major sensitivity: being addressed as Tom Riddle makes him draw his wand immediately 1 46.

His followers have noticed that he is becoming more brutal and suspicious. Bellatrix’s memories of corpses removed from Malfoy Manor make her fear that even her exceptional loyalty would not protect her if she learned a secret he wanted concealed 42.

Despite his anger, he can recognize immediate tactical disadvantages. During his confrontation with Anna, Dumbledore’s proximity and her curse-reflecting protection prevent him from acting on his hostility 46.

Abilities & Skills

Horcrux Creation

Voldemort splits his soul to create Horcruxes in pursuit of immortality. Anna regards the resulting fragmentation as a source of profound spiritual instability 1.

• Anna identifies the diary, Resurrection Stone Ring, Ravenclaw’s Diadem, Salazar Slytherin’s Locket, and Hufflepuff’s Cup as Horcruxes she believes already exist during his rise 1.
• He attempts to obtain the Sword of Gryffindor as another prospective vessel, but Dumbledore refuses to surrender it 45.
• Anna fears that pushing him too far might cause him to split his soul further; the supplied events do not establish that he does so 37.

Dark Magic and Curses

Grindelwald acknowledges Voldemort as a powerful Dark Lord, despite questioning his deteriorating judgment 35.

• Defence Against the Dark Arts curse: He cursed the teaching position several years before Anna’s first Halloween at Hogwarts; the current professor is another new appointment 45.
• Dark Mark: He brands the Death Eaters’ arms as a means of securing sworn loyalty 5.
• Magical experimentation: His experiments with Dark Magic have visibly damaged his appearance 46.

Death-Related Vulnerability

Voldemort’s attempts to evade death place him in opposition to the power behind Anna’s Death Contract 1 46.

• He senses the contract’s pressure despite being unable to see its mark 46.
• Its proximity causes an involuntary retreat and visible trembling 46.
• Anna interprets their mutual hostility as the contract transmitting Death’s aversion to his damaged soul 46.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Yew wand — Drawn against Anna during their Halloween encounter; Anna recognizes it as one of the famous twin wands 46.
• Horcrux vessels — Five suspected existing vessels are identified through Anna’s prior knowledge; their locations and acquisition histories are not established in the supplied events 1.

Relationships

• Anna Albus Grindelwald — Ideological opponent who challenges his influence at Hogwarts, deceives him through Bellatrix’s altered memories, and discovers their Death Contract–linked mutual aversion 23 44 46.
• Albus Dumbledore — Opponent whose Order of the Phoenix has begun resisting him. Dumbledore also refuses his requests for a teaching position and the Sword of Gryffindor 37 45.
• Bellatrix Black — Core Death Eater, devoted admirer, and exceptionally loyal subordinate. Anna exploits the conflict between that devotion and Bellatrix’s fear for her own life 41 42.
• Lucius Malfoy — Student supporter who leads the prospective Death Eater faction at Hogwarts; in the previous timeline, he recommended Snape to Voldemort 24 47.
• Severus Snape — Valued subordinate in the previous timeline, later killed by Voldemort. The reborn Snape instead allies with Anna in the altered present 12 13 38.
• Harry Potter — His eventual conqueror in the previous timeline described by Anna; that outcome has not yet occurred in the current timeline 13.
