the Knights of Walpurgis was the pre-existing club that would later develop into the Death Eaters. It was led by Tom Riddle, and his "friend group" (though, allegedly, he didn't truly care for any of them.) It would have started in his earlier years at Hogwarts and the official club disbanded in 1945, when he graduated. The absolutely confirmed members are Tom Riddle (duh), Avery Snr, Lestrange Snr, and possible members are Rosier Snr, Mulciber I, and Nott Snr. A lot of people have actual names for the characters, but they are all fannon. I myself have a few hc names for the members as well! Abraxas Malfoy is not anywhere on the confirmed or potential list, and neither are any members of the Black family. (the Black family members that would attend Hogwarts around the same time was Riddle would be: Walburga and Lucretia, who would be almost exactly Tom's age, then also Alphard, Cygnus, and Orion who would be a few years younger. + also Araminta who would be way younger than Tom and the others)
Important members and most talked about are the aforementioned members of the club as well as:
- Abraxas Malfoy (father of Lucius Malfoy)
- Walburga Black (mother of Sirius and Regulus Black)
- Druella Rosier (mother of the Black sisters, married into the Black family)
- Lucretia Black (Walburga’s cousin, Orion’s sister, married into the Prewett family
- Orion Black (Sirius and Regulus’s father)
- Eileen Prince (mother of Severus Snape, married a muggle named Tobias)
- Cygnus black (Walburga’s brother, father of the black sisters -> it’s important to note his birthdate of 1938 was retconned but we never got a new one, so many people hc it to be 1928)
- Alphard Black (Walburga’s other brother)
Characters such as Euphemia Potter, Fleamont Potter, Dorea Black, Charlus Potter, Marius Black, even some older professors like Rolanda Hooch, ect are part of the forgotten era aka people born in the 1900s-1910s. The kow era is largely people born in the 1920s and 1930s! (Typically mid 1920s to mid 1930s!)
