There have only been hints at the full horror and violence of his attempt at control. Later he showed more of "his true colours" and lost support from some of those old magical families who supported him when they realised that they, as much as Muggles or Muggle-borns, were targets. When Voldemort first appeared, he persuaded his followers that his campaign was based upon the idea of "purifying" the Wizarding race by purging people with Muggle blood (notably despite, or perhaps partly because of, his own " half-blood" heritage), which appealed to some of the old Wizarding families. Lord Voldemort rose to power in the late 1960s or early 1970s Cornelius Fudge claimed to the Muggle Prime Minister in 1996 that the Ministry of Magic had been trying to capture Voldemort 'for nearly thirty years'. More information on him during this period can be found under the article for the Riddle family. (See "name and anagram" below.) He began to assume the identity of 'Lord Voldemort' during his latter years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, using the title amongst his close "friends".

Within the series, Voldemort is considered one of the most powerful wizards alive. The Death Eaters also take offense when others refer to their master in his ineffable name. Most in the Wizarding world flinch or protest when they hear his name spoken openly. His followers, the Death Eaters, do not use his name but instead refer to him as the "Dark Lord", and address him as "My Lord" or "Master". Again others, such as Rubeus Hagrid and Minerva McGonagall have at least once spoken the name, when urged to by others. Some other young characters, like Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley, after some hesitancy, begin to follow Harry's lead Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore never hesitate to speak his name. Most characters in the novels refer to him as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" rather than saying his name aloud although the protagonist, Harry Potter, who was not conditioned to fear his name, speaks the name freely except when attempting to be sensitive to others' fears. Voldemort is so feared in the Wizarding world that his name is considered to be ineffable. The name "Voldemort", roughly translated, means "flight of death" in Latin, French and Catalan, or "steal death" in French. He is a Dark wizard bent on securing unmatched power and achieving immortality through the practice of the Dark Arts. Lord Voldemort is the fictional arch-villain of the Harry Potter series.
