Da Death Deelers are the followers of Voldemort. Judging from Voldemort himself, the group primarily consisted of wizards and witches who were radical prep and poser supremacists. However, the organization as a whole does not seem to do anything heinous, apart from helping Voldemort in his plan to kill Harry "Vampire" Potter. In fact, killing Vampire seems to be the only purpose of this organization. They are also very musically gifted, as they are able to imitate My Chemical Romance without even the most diehard goffic fans noticing. They are based on the Death Eaters from Harry Potter.

Role in the story[]

While members of the organization appeared beforehand, the group first appears by name in Chapter 16, in which they infiltrate an MCR concert by posing as their members. After playing for a while, they shed their disguise and reveal their true identities. They do so again in chapter 17, followed by Voldemort intimidating Ebony and Draco, while the rest of the Death Deelers passively look on.

The designation “Death Deeler” is also used for Snap in the true chapter 39. James mentions him to be one after trying to explain he was possessed by Snap when attempting to kill Lucian. (He actually said Snap was possessing himself, but that’s likely a typo.)

Appearance[]

As Voldemort is described as being a prep, despite wearing black clothing, it can be assumed that all the other Death Deelers are also of that affiliation. Chapter Thirty suggests that like their canon counterparts, they have "Dork Marks", albeit located on their genitals (Snap is the only one who this is confirmed to be true for, however).

Known members[]

  • Voldemort: Leader and presumed founder. He is obsessed with making Ebony kill Vampire, with a gun. Despite having gotten the chance to kill Vampire himself multiple times, he never takes it and always sticks to his initial plan. He also doesn't realize that in this story, Ebony is the one chosen to defeat him, not Vampire, making his vendetta with Vampire all the weirder.
  • Snap and Loopin: Two of the higher-ranked members. Their plan is to film Ebony taking a bath and use said tape to blackmail her into killing Vampire. If she refuses, they'll spread the tape throughout the school.
  • Snaketail: Voldemort's personal assistant. Fell in love with Ebony at first sight, but was killed by her.

Possible members[]

  • Professor McGoggle: Based on the fact that she helps Snap trap Ebony, Vampire and Draco. She chains the three goffs up using a spell, watches Draco and Snap have a gunfight, and then leaves. It's possible that Snap was possessing her, as he possessed either himself or James "Samoro" Potter during their concert in the past. She's never punished for her behavior, and Ebony doesn't seem angry at her, being more interested in punishing Snap and Loopin.
  • The Black Guy: This mysterious man attempted to kill Serious Blak and Lucian Malfoy. Despite not explicitly named as such, it is likely this man is a Death Deeler as well, based on the facts that he tried to kill two of the goffik "good guys" and that Ebony's visions, in one of which this character appeared, usually only pertain to Voldemort and his evil plans.
  • Mr. Norris: Typically portrayed as antagonistic, Mr. Norris has had one friendly encounter with known Death Deeler Loopin near the end of the story, appearing in the Grate Hall alongside him, and mentioning his hatred for Hogwarts students to him.
  • Britney: Freed two of the Death Deelers, Snap and Loopin, from Azerbaijan. She also told Ebony that Voldemort would definitely kill her.

Differences from the original[]

In canon, the Death Eaters were a powerful terrorist organization that fought for pure-blood supremacy. They disdained everything that even had a remote connection to muggles. Their influence even reached into the Ministry of Magic, as several members managed to infiltrate said organization.

In My Immortal, the Death Deelers do not seem to hold the pure-blood supremacist views of its canon counterpart. Instead, the organization solely exists to kill Vampire Potter. They are also more versed in muggle culture compared to the Death Eaters, as they successfully imitated the muggle band My Chemical Romance on two occasions. The mere idea of imitating a muggle band is very insulting to the Death Eaters. They would rather kill said band for fun and laughs, as killing muggles is a sport to them.

Judging from Voldemort using and handing out guns, the Death Deelers are also more open to using muggle technology compared to the Death Eaters, who stick to using magic. This is also evident when Snap and Loopin use a video camera to film Enoby taking a bath. While wizards in Harry Potter do use photo cameras, video cameras are still implied to be only used by Muggles.

Ironically, the Death Deelers seem to be a more inclusive organization compared to the Death Eaters, as Loopin, known to have lycanthropy, is granted membership into the organization. In the original books, the Death Eaters never admitted people of said condition. While they did employ Fenrir Greyback, who suffered from the same "furry little problem", he was never officially made a Death Eater. They saw him as nothing more than a glorified attack dog. Loopin, on the other hand, seems to be one of Volzemort's right hand men.

As their leader is described as an ugly preppy man, it can be assumed the Death Deelers as an organization is also preppy. In another twist of irony, the Death Eaters might as well be the closest thing the original Potterverse has to a goffic organization. The Death Eaters use imagery featuring skulls and snakes and generally dress in dark colors. Their nasty world view also coincides with how Ebony and friends act throughout the fanfic, as they treat anyone who isn't a real goff as vermin.

Trivia[]

  • As a fun fact, in the Underworld series of movies, the warrior vampires are referred to as "Death Dealers". Tara may be referencing this, as Ebony possesses a black leather outfit similar to that worn by Suelene in Undreworld.
  • Music artist DA DETH DEELER was inspired by the misnaming, even intentionally removing the 'a' from 'Death' to play more into the misspelling of the fanfiction. He also made a song titled 'Dementia Raven Way' in which he recites the opening chapter of My Immortal.
