The Death Eaters are a fictional extremist organisation from the Harry Potter series, led by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort. They follow a strict belief in blood purity, thinking that only pure-blood wizards should have power over the wizarding world. Because of this, they feel it is their duty to eliminate wizards born to non-magical families to keep their bloodline pure.
