The Death Eater revealed to be Draco Malfoy’s father is Lucius Malfoy. A wealthy and influential wizard, Lucius is one of Voldemort’s senior followers and promotes pure-blood supremacy while using his social connections to influence the Ministry of Magic.
Lucius is introduced as the head of the Malfoy family and Draco’s father. He appears polished and respectable in public, but his allegiance to Voldemort becomes clear through his actions and the Dark Mark associated with the Death Eaters. He also once possessed Tom Riddle’s diary, which he secretly used to place the dangerous magical object among Ginny Weasley’s school supplies.
After Voldemort’s return, Lucius is punished for failing to retrieve a prophecy from the Department of Mysteries. His status declines, and Voldemort takes control of the Malfoy household. Draco is later given a mission to kill Albus Dumbledore, while Lucius remains trapped under Voldemort’s authority. Bellatrix Lestrange is also a Death Eater, but she is Draco’s aunt, not his father.
