Horcrux uses what its author, Chris Poole, calls the Voldemort approach, which is multiple backups to multiple locations. If you’re not a Harry Potter fan, a dark wizard or witch can hide a fragment of their soul in a physical object. This is called a Horcrux. Then if the physical body is destroyed, the witch or wizard can be resurrected. Creating multiple Horcruxes is a way to achieve immortality. There is a price to pay, however. Each Horcrux requires an act of murder
