Biography: Tom Riddle started out life as an orphan (or at least a child with no parents) after his mother died shortly after giving birth to him. He grew up in an orphanage where he learnt that he could perform magic, and that he was a parselmouth. He was visited by Dumbledore with a place in Hogwarts, and Dumbledore took enough interest in the boy to keep an eye on him. Tom went to school and excelled, gaining both positions of prefect and Head Boy. He disliked his name, and changed his name to Lord Voldemort among his closest friends, which was part of an anagram of his full name. Voldemort discovered the Chamber of Secrets and began to use it to purge the school, but had to stop due to Dumbledore's careful watch, though he was able to pass the blame onto Hagrid. In his final year, Voldemort murdered the Riddles-his father and his father's parents. He then passed the blame onto Morfin Gaunt. After Hogwarts Voldemort began to immerse himself in the Dark Arts, and in the 1970s he began a following-The Death Eaters. He has also gained the alliance of giants and has now begun a reign of terror upon wizard kind.
