"It is, of course, no ordinary vessel. Meet Ezra Belanger, a descendant of Ominis Gaunt. An unfortunate, distant branch of my family that settled in Canada after they disregarded the Dark Arts. My only living blood relative. It is finally time for Ezra to be worthy of his Gaunt legacy. Tonight, I will remove Ezra's soul and consciousness from his body and replace it with mine. My magic will flow from a new body, one that is resilient against the toll of my power. I will not perform the ritual for you; it is too private. But I wanted to give all of you, my most loyal supporters, a chance to farewell the body you are familiar with."
