Death Eaters

Skull-marked servants

Death Eaters are the followers of the villain Voldemort in the Harry Potter series—dark wizards who embrace pure-blood supremacy and use violence to achieve magical domination.

The term has escaped its fictional origins to describe fanatical followers of authoritarian leaders or ideologies: The senator's most devoted supporters act like Death Eaters.
