Dolohov was one of Tom Riddle’s friend after leaving school, one of the original Death Eaters (HBP20). He was sent to Azkaban for the murders of Gideon and Fabian Prewett (OP25). Dolohov escaped from Azkaban early in 1996, along with Bellatrix Lestrange and several other high-security prisoners, and rejoined Voldemort. He participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and was recaptured. Dolohov's "specialty attack" was a jet of purple light cast in a zigzag pattern which causes severe internal injury (OP31). Released again from Azkaban, Dolohov attacked Harry, Ron, and Hermione in a caf? on Tottenham Court Road (DH9). During the Battle of Hogwarts, Dolohov killed Remus Lupin (DH31, BLC) but was finally taken down by Flitwick (DH36).
