"They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating towards a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty." —Albus Dumbledore on the Death Eaters
Death Eaters are a group of Dark wizards and witches that followed Lord Voldemort. They often wear black hoods with snake-like eye slits to cover their faces. Only the inner circle of the Death Eaters has a Dark Mark burned into his or her left forearm. When Voldemort touches one of them, each of those Death Eaters felt it, allowing them to Apparate to their leader's side.
Ideally, the Death Eaters seek to destroy Muggles and wizards and witches of Muggle lineage, and to take over the wizarding world, as well as restore it to pure-bloods. The Death Eaters idealized pure-blood wizards, which is ironic considering that their leader, Lord Voldemort, is a half-blood with a Muggle father.
Not all of them could claim to be pure-bloods, and in fact true pure-bloods probably do not exist, as the claim is based on selective genealogy; possibly many of them were half-bloods clinging to their pure-blood ancestors. One such as Severus Snape, the son of a Muggle man and a pure-blood witch.[1] Judging by Bellatrix Lestrange's reaction to being told that Voldemort was a half-blood by Harry Potter[2], the Dark Lord most likely lied to his followers about being pure-blood.
History Remus Lupin: "The last time Voldemort had power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear..."
Sirius Black: "Fourteen years ago he had huge numbers at his command -- not just witches and wizards but all manner of Dark creatures..." By 1970, the Death Eaters were an organization formed from people Tom Marvolo Riddle, now Lord Voldemort, knew from his time at Hogwarts as well as their relations. Nearly all of those recruited were from Slytherin House as students. Actively recruiting an army of Dark Wizards and creatures.[1]
Death Eater activity during the First Wizarding War consisted of attacks on wizards, witches, and large numbers of Muggles. These were initiated by the Death Eaters often, but not always, on the orders of Voldemort. The ministy soon fell but the Death Eaters remained opposed by the Order of the Phoenix, founded by Albus Dumbledore.
After Voldemort fell, trying to kill Harry potter, the Death eaters fell into Chaos. Most were captured, but many escaped. When Voldemort returned, many years later, he tried to capture the prophecy of him and Harry potter. However, His death eaters failed to get it. Despite the loss, the Death eaters rose to power even further and a year later, infiltrated the ministry.
"If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste... I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour... I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you... I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour." Voldemort- The battle of hogwarts
At the battle of Hogwarts the Death eaters defeated the defenders, and killed Harry potter in the process. However, The death eaters suffered huge losses, and retreated to regroup. Voldemort himself went into hiding, without his precious horcruxes to protect him. A couple years later however, when Voldemort finally returned and had remade his horcruxes, the Death eaters rose again.
