“The man who feared death above all things became its embodiment — a dark lord who lost everything chasing power.”
Splitting the soul into objects to achieve immortality — he made seven, making himself functionally impossible to kill.
Mind-penetration at a level most cannot defend against — he reads memories and feelings at will.
Complete mastery of all Dark Arts including all three Unforgivable Curses — the most dangerous wizard of his era.
A lonely orphan who feared death became a dark lord who weaponized it. He lost all capacity for empathy and sees everyone as a means to an end. He preached pure-blood supremacy while being mixed-blood himself — built on a lie. His inability to understand love is not just a flaw; it is what destroys him.
