Salazar Slytherin, a founder with a vision. But his belief in blood purity led to the creation of the Chamber of Secrets.

Parseltongue, the rare ability to converse with serpents, became synonymous with the Heir of Slytherin

Whispers arose when Harry Potter, the boy who lived, displayed the ability to speak Parseltongue.

Ginny Weasley, under the influence of Riddle's diary, played a pivotal role in the tale of the Chamber.
