"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."
