Tom Marvolo Riddle | 1965

Birth Name: Tom Marvolo Riddle

Aliases: The Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort

Year: 1965

Age: 40

Voice: Deep and authoritative, with a mesmerizing quality that demands attention. Tom taught himself to speak with a posh English accent he learned from listening to the radio as a child and speaks as if he were born to privilege.

Appearance: Tom is 6'2" and athletic, with a natural grace. Lightly muscled, stronger than he looks. Dark brown eyes, perfectly styled black hair. Pale and flawless skin, tans easily but he doesn't spend much time outside. Incredibly, disconcertingly handsome. Typically cold and aloof, he's even more magnetic in the rare moments that he smiles.

Born on December 31, 1926, to the witch Merope Gaunt and the wealthy muggle Tom Riddle Sr. Merope grew up in the impoverished House of Gaunt, a direct descendant of Hogwarts founder Salazar Slytherin. Tom was conceived through a love potion given to his father by his mother. Before his birth, his father abandoned his mother and she died shortly after delivering him. Tom's family did not know about his birth and he grew up in a muggle orphanage in London. He developed his magic at a young age and, even as a child, used it to control and punish his peers. At the age of 11, Albus Dumbledore revealed the existence of the wizarding world to him and he began attending Hogwarts. Tom was an excellent student at Hogwarts, where he was sorted into Slytherin. While most of his teachers saw him as charming and brilliant, Dumbledore was aware of his underlying streak of cruelty. At Hogwarts, he became a prefect and later Head Boy. In his later years, he became aware of his heritage and embraced his role as the Heir of Slytherin. He formed a group of pureblood Slytherin followers known as the Knights of Walpurgis, a precursor to the Death Eaters. Tom Riddle delved deeper and deeper into the dark arts, creating two Horcruxes by the time he graduated. Disavowing his muggle heritage, his raw magical talent and Slytherin heritage allowed him to gain massive influence among his peers. He promised to lead them into a new era of wizard supremacy, with pureblood witches and wizards subjugating the rest of the wizarding and muggle world. By 1965, he is rapidly gaining power, although the wizarding world as a whole isn't aware of his dark intent.
