Tom Marvolo Riddle
Lord Voldemort
Appearance
During his childhood and early adulthood, Tom Marvolo Riddle was tall and handsome, with pale skin, jet black hair, and dark eyes: "tall for eleven years old, dark-haired and pale". Riddle wore a simple black suit. As he became more involved (вовлечен) in the Dark Arts, his good looks gradually left him. His features became waxy and reptilian, his skin became bone-white, and his eyes took on a blood-shot appearance.
In his final body, Voldemort was described as having pale white skin, a skinny body, and dark scarlet eyes. He had a chalk-white face like a skull, snake-like slits (щели) for nostrils, and long, thin hands with unnaturally long fingers like spider's legs. He had long, sharp, pale blue fingernails, and took to wearing a black hooded cloak and several sets of elegant black robes. Voldemort had a high, cold voice. It is also mentioned that Voldemort had no hair or lips. "The thin man stepped out of the cauldron, staring at Harry...and Harry stared back into the face that had haunted his nightmares for three years. Whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was flat as a snake's but with slits for nostrils...." |

You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus, but only I can live forever. I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt if I want to... I can speak to snakes too. They find me, they whisper to me. |
Harry Potter: "Did you know, sir? Then?..." Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies. You must know this, Dumbledore. Rubeus Hagrid: "First — and understand this, Harry, 'cause it's very important — not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was one wizard that went as bad as you can go, and his name was V — [sighs] his name was V..." |
