Tom Marvolo Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort or, alternatively as the Dark Lord, You-Know-Who, or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was a half-blood wizard considered to have been the most powerful and dangerous Dark wizard of all time, often considered more powerful or equal to Albus Dumbledore. The only child and son of Tom and Merope Riddle, Tom was raised in the Muggle-run Wool's Orphanage after his father abandoned his new family on the streets of London when the influence of her magic was lifted, and his mother died moments after giving birth to and naming him after his father and maternal grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt. Splitting his own spirit into a total of eight fragments, Voldemort created an unprecedented seven Horcruxes, one unintentionally and without his knowledge — Harry Potter. He commanded a veritable army of wizards and Dark creatures, committed countless murders and atrocities personally and through his followers, eventually succeeded in taking over the Ministry of Magic before he was defeated by Harry Potter. One of his Horcruxes, Nagini was a Maledictus cursed to transform into a snake, and served Voldemort until her death.
