Character Guide Death Eaters
(Unfortunately, or rather, I should say fortunately, we don't know much about many of the Death Eaters, but I gathered all of the information available.)
Avery - During Voldemort's "rebirth" (end of book 4), Avery was the first person to sob at Voldemort's feet ("Master!" he shreiked, "Master, forgive me! Forgive us all!"), and recieved the Cruciatus Curse in reply.
Crabbe - Father of Vincent Crabbe
Crouch, Bartemius (Jr.) - Voldemort's "Most Faithful Servant". In (the fourth year) he disguised himself as "Mad-Eye" Alastor Moody, using the Poly-Juice potion. He put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire and helped him throughout the tournament. He tried to kill Harry, by making the TriWizard Cup a portkey, taking Harry directly to Lord Voldemort. He died because of the Dementor's Kiss.
Dolohov, Antonin
Goyle - Father of Gregory Goyle
Lestranges - A married couple that went to Azkaban rather than to denounce Lord Voldemort.
Malfoy, Lucius - Lucius Malfoy is the father of Draco Malfoy, and they are all dreadfully mean & evil. Lucius Malfoy has loads of Dark Arts hidden in his manor. He was the previous owner of Dobby (a house-elf which Harry set free). Mr. Malfoy doesn't get along very well with Arthur Weasley, and they have exchanged some very nasty words, which once (second year) ended in a physical fight. Leads the Death Eaters in "Muggle-torture".
McNair - Worked for the Ministry of Magic before he was a Death Eater. Destroyed Dangerous Beasts for the Ministry (was supposed to be Buckbeak's executioner).
Mulciber
Pettigrew, Peter ("Scabbers" & "Wormtail") - Wormtail was best friends with Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin when he was at Hogwarts. While there, he became an animagi (a rat), hence the name "Wormtail". He was the Potter's secret-keeper, and he betrayed them to Lord Voldemort (who killed them). Peter spent 12 years as a rat, and belonged to Ron Weasley ("Scabbers" the rat). He escaped from them in year three, and he left to aid Lord Voldemort back to power, and he, unfortunately, succeeded.
Riddle, Tom Marvolo (VOLDEMORT, "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", "You-Know-Who", "The Dark Lord") - The evilest, most horrible, and most feared wizard of all time. He went to school at Hogwarts, and when he left the School, he got so lost in the Dark Arts that nobody recognized him. The "Death Eaters" are Voldemort's followers. Everyone in the Wizarding World is too afraid to call his name, and he is often referred as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". It is said that Dumbledore is the only person Voldemort was ever afraid of. He met his "downfall" from a little baby boy, Harry Potter. Harry's mother died to save him, and when Voldemort tried to curse him it backfired. Voldemort fled, barely alive… and it wasn't until (year 4) the TriWizard Tournament that he regained his old body back (with the help of Wormtail and Barty Crouch Jr.), and luckily, his plan to kill Harry Potter didn't work. He is now alive, and well, unfortunately, but without a certain prophecy, if you know what I mean. (If you don't, read book 5!)
