Voldemort used fear first and world-class to see to it his following . The only two followers we see follow Voldemort out of actual loyalty to him were Bellatrix Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr.

Their matrimony seemed to be a loveless formality . The only times they are seen together is when Voldemort ’s followers are assembled .

Rodolphus was at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , the Battle of the Seven Potters , and the Battle of Hogwarts .   However , we never get much of a sensation of him as a character .

Voldemort direct to become the ruler of his own pureblood wizarding authorities . He could never uprise to that posture exclusively on his own .

He had to work with or manipulate others to spread out his influence and enforce his rule .

While he had many follow faithfully execute his bidding , he did n’t trust most of them . At the same time he expect his followers to trust his wisdom and leading .

Movies

Voldemort used Legilimency to spy on his followers and know their minds . He was probably slaked enough that fear compelled most of his followers to obey him , but he was still paranoid .

He never entrust the point of his plans with the horcruxes to any of his following .
