| abstract | - Professor Igor Karkaroff (born 4 March 1961) was a wizard and Headmaster of Durmstrang Institute. During the First Wizarding War, he was a Death Eater who served Lord Voldemort. After being captured and briefly imprisoned in Azkaban following his master's defeat, Karkaroff turned in several of his fellow Death Eaters to the Wizengamot in exchange for his crimes being pardoned. Karkaroff later went on to become Durmstrang's headmaster, leading the school's delegation to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic for the 1994 Triwizard Tournament. There, Karkaroff did everything he could to get his school's champion (Viktor Krum) in the lead, getting in heated confrontations with the New Alexandria headmaster, and was none too happy when they came second to the school. There, he witnessed the death of his student, Vladimir Kozlov, at the hands of New Alexandrian champion Pietro Maximoff after Kozlov cursed another student during one of the tournament's challenges. He, along with his students and a few parents, got into a massive confrontation with New Alexandrian students and staff, causing hundreds of galleons worth of damage to the Beauxbatons Courtyard.
