Nott

Nott was a pure-blood wizard who was one of the earliest members of the Death Eaters, having joined in 1955, before second-generation recruits like Lucius Malfoy. He served Lord Voldemort in both the First and Second Wizarding Wars. His only child, Theodore Nott, was a Slytherin student in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

First Wizarding War and Aftermath
Nott participated in the First Wizarding War, but was able to avoid being sent to Azkaban after the downfall of Lord Voldemort in 1981. An elderly widower, Nott raised his son, Theodore, after the death of his wife sometime before 1991.

Second Wizarding War
When Voldemort returned to power in 1995, Nott Apparated to his side when summoned and professed to be Voldemort's most faithful servant.

The following year, Nott participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. He grabbed hold of Harry Potter as he and his friends fled the Hall of Prophecies, but was stunned by Hermione Granger, leaving him incapacitated as shelves filled with prophecies collapsed around him. The group leader, Lucius Malfoy, ordered the other Death Eaters to leave Nott behind, stating that his injuries would be considered nothing by Voldemort compared to the loss of the particular prophecy which Voldemort sought. After the battle, Nott was exposed as a Death Eater and imprisoned in Azkaban.

At one time, Nott was a friend of Horace Slughorn, who asked after him in 1996. Blaise Zabini informed Slughorn that his old friend had been apprehended for his Death Eater activities. Slughorn was displeased and wanted nothing to do with the Death Eaters, thus he decided not to invite Nott's son to his club.

It is unknown what happened to Nott after this, though it is likely that he escaped from Azkaban along with many other Death Eaters in the summer of 1997 and served Voldemort during the height of the Second Wizarding War. After Voldemort's final defeat during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, Nott was presumably either killed or reimprisoned.
