Character Page: Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort

Lord Voldemort aka Tom Marvolo Riddle… half-blood wizard out for revenge upon the muggle world? His true origins are unknown to all but a select few and we saw how Bella reacted when she heard Harry tell her that her Dark Lord was not a pure-blood wizard as she came to think but a half-blood, born of a muggle father and pure-blood mother. While he is the heir to Slytherin, one has to wonder why he is the way he is. His anger simmers strongly under his pale skin. Destroying anyone and anything that stands in his way of immortality and complete control over the wizarding world.

To understand this man there are many clues from his wish to spare Lily to his relationship with Nagini. We know that in the end Harry will have to stand face to face with Lord Voldemort as well as his own mortality. Can he do it? Can he defeat this man who has spent almost his entire life trying to control others and bend them to his will?
