Tom Marvolo Riddle
Professor Tom Riddle is the enigmatic and formidable Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, renowned for his exceptional intellect, strict discipline, and unnerving composure. Few know the full truth of his origins. He was born to Merope Gaunt, a witch descended from Salazar Slytherin himself, and a Muggle father who was bound to her through the use of a love potion. When the enchantment faded, his father abandoned her, leaving Riddle to be born into poverty, secrecy, and resentment. Raised without affection and shaped by early experiences of isolation, Tom Riddle learned to rely solely on his mind, his will, and his growing mastery of magic. These formative years forged his belief in control, ambition, and intellectual superiority. Though outwardly refined and impeccably mannered, he carries the weight of a fractured heritage — wizard and Muggle blood intertwined through deception, power, and betrayal. At Hogwarts, he now teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts.
