Dossier of Positions in the “Harry Potter and the Dark Lord’s Ascension” Committee 1. Avery Avery since birth was destined to attend to the needs of the Dark Lord. His father was schoolmates with Tom Riddle himself, while he found himself peers with Severus Snape during his days at Hogwarts. Though serving evil seems to be in his genes, he is not as competent when it comes to following orders as some of his fellow Death Eaters. After the Harry Potter incident, Avery abandoned his call and did not seek out the Dark Lord. During this time, he was rumored to be imprisoned in Azkaban but was freed after pleading that he had been a victim of the Imperius curse. Avery is a bit of a snake if it was hard to tell.1 2. ​Regulus Arcturus Black Regulus Black was born into a pureblood family, where he was the chosen son and grew up to firmly uphold the views that wizard blood is not to be tainted. His brother did not in fact hold these views, creating some controversy. During his time at Hogwarts, he excelled in many domains, including in his study of the Dark Arts and Occlumency, and was even a favorite of Professor Slughorn. Though he has faithfully discharged the tasks given to him by Lord Voldemort, he currently appears to have had his faith shaken.2 3. ​Alecto Carrow Alecto and her brother are inseparable. Between the two of them, she shows stronger signs of intelligence, though not by much, and has the habit almost giggling when in tense situations. She quite strongly despises even the notion of muggles and does little to hide her loathing. Alecto is rather trusting, and this trust is not always justified. What she lacks in brains she makes up for in a lust for torture, with the Cruciatus curse being her personal favorite. She shows unwavering devotion to the Dark Lord, and also to her brother. Alecto at her core has a strong desire to follow the guidance of those above her, and enforces this adherence into those beneath her, with painful consequences.3 4. ​Amycus Carrow Amycus Carrow shares an unparalleled closeness with his sister. While neither of the two is known for their intellect, his sister has the greater share, which Amycus makes up for with forcefulness and aggression. The only person who Amycus shows as close of loyalty for is the Dark Lord himself, who he came to the aid of after the Harry Potter incident. For every ounce of hate his sister has for muggles, he has an ounce of love for the Dark Arts, something which he is not hesitant to make useful, considering he is certainly not the brains of the operation. He is more of a spell now, talk later sort of fellow, which can be to his benefit and simultaneously his detriment.4 5. ​Crabbe Sr. 1 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Avery.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 27 June 2017, ​ ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Characters/Avery. 2 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Regulus Black.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 26 Oct. 2017, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Regulus_Black. 3 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alecto Carrow.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 11 Dec. 2017, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Alecto_Carrow. 4 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Amycus Carrow.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 12 Dec. 2017, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Amycus_Carrow. Crabbe Sr., occasionally known as Mr. Crabbe, has been known to follow barking orders. Between him and his fellow Death Eater, Goyle Sr., neither is known for their wits, yet Mr. Crabbe appears to hold the greater share. Both follow the lead set by Lucius Malfoy, and then that set by the Dark Lord, and in the past, neither has strayed or defied. Since Mr. Crabbe may be slightly more intelligent, though not by much, he would be the more likely of the pair to act out against those above him, but is at the same time, more likely to come out of any issues relatively cleanly.5 6. ​Barty Crouch Jr. Bartemius Crouch is one of the more frightening members of the Death Eaters. Though his appearance alone does not instill fright, his magical ability excels beyond almost all other Death Eaters, and though he is most certainly evil, it is his humanity that is his strength. While others may have lost their connection to humanity in order to fulfill the wishes of the Dark Lord, Barty uses his comprehension of human emotions to manipulate those around him into doing his bidding. Though this “humanity” could be questioned as he is currently imprisoned in Azkaban for the torture of the Longbottoms, his heartbreaking love for the Dark Lord and blindness to his disposability is distinctly human. As he manipulates others, so too does the Dark Lord manipulate him.6 7. ​Antonin Dolohov Dolohov was around when Lord Voldemort was known as Tom Riddle. He is a loyal friend, something which both the Dark Lord and Yaxley benefit from. He has been around for quite some time and does not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Like many other Death Eaters, Dolohov is capable of torture, but does not need to resort to such methods often, as he is a capable combatant, unless his attention is compromised.7 8. ​Gibbon Little is known about Gibbon. It appears that his sense of fear may be stronger than his sense of loyalty when the going gets tough, something of which the Dark Lord is keenly aware. His whereabouts after the Harry Potter incident could not be accounted for. This questionable loyalty has put him on thin ice with the Dark Lord and his fellow Death Eaters. He may have to prove his usefulness to the Dark Lord if he seeks to remain unharmed.8, 9 9. ​Goyle Sr. Goyle Sr. has never been known as a leader of men, but is much more likely to be considered a follower. He, along with Crabbe Sr., form a posse led by Lucius Malfoy, who’s whims they constantly obey. Hard as he may try, Goyle Sr. has failed his superiors, Lucius and 5 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crabbe, Sr.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 13 Dec. 2017, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Crabbe,_Sr. 6 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Barty Crouch Jr.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 5 Aug. 2018, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Barty_Crouch_Jr. 7 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Antonin Dolohov.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 27 June 2017, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Antonin_Dolohov. 8 “Gibbon.” Harry Potter Wiki, harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Gibbon. ​ ​ ​ 9 “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gibbon.” Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World, 28 June 2017, ​ ​ en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Character​ s/Gibbon. Lord Voldemort, in the past and there is little room for error on his part because of this. He has been tried in the past, and let go, but his future is less certain.10 10. ​Fenrir Greyback One could describe Fenrir Greyback as “hungry like the wolf” when it comes to the kill. It is his singular desire to turn as many people as possible into werewolves, sometimes killing in the process. It was he that bit Remus Lupin, and he has the habit of intentionally placing himself near other people when he is about to transform in order to infect others. This ferociousness is an asset to the Dark Lord and other Death Eaters, who use him as a threatening force when necessary. However, it appears that Greyback does not maintain full Death Eater status, despite his ruthlessness. The reasons for this are unknown.11 11. ​Igor Karkaroff Head of the Durmstrang Institute, Karkaroff is quite agile when it comes to the Dark Arts and his wizarding skills are evident to those around him. It is also evident that he is not to be trusted, since he has betrayed some fellow Death Eaters in the past out of self-preservation. The Dark Lord has noticed this cowardice and is not pleased. Karkaroff is peers with Severus Snape, and Snape is one of the few people Karkaroff trusts, but whether this trust is justified has yet to be seen. Karkaroff is primarily motivated by protecting himself, and given his skills, is in a position to do so for quite some time. He does all in his power to prevent harm from befalling him, at the expense of his fellow Death Eaters.12 12. ​Rabastan Lestrange Less can be said for Rabastan than for his brother, Rodolphus. He similarly ranks highly with Lord Voldemort, though his brother and sister-in-law gain more notoriety. The Dark Lord is indebted to him and the three other death eaters who are imprisoned in Azkaban for the torture of the Longbottoms, and Rabastan is aware of this fact. While he exerts some influence, of course he could seek more. His time in Azkaban has certainly affected him, though it is not clear how.13 13. ​Rodolphus Lestrange Rodolphus is the husband of Bellatrix Lestrange, and clearly they make a good match. Both have a penchant for inflicting torture even when it is not necessary. Along with his brother, Rabastan, he was a part of the generation of Hogwarts students that were recruited by the Dark Lord around the same time Severus was.
