The first Dark Lord within memory in the Potter-verse. Described in the book as having golden curls and being quite good-looking, and was apparently young Albus Dumbledore's best friend with whom he plotted Muggle domination. Stole the Elder Wand (see HP 7: The Deathly Hallows), the least of the Deathly Hallows. Defeated by the same Albus Dumbledore that was his best friend.
