What If Pyrites was in Goblet of Fire?

Hear me out, what if Pyrites was in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire without being named?

In the film there are just about ten Death Eaters but in the book more return, and since everything is from Harry's point of view he doesn't know the names of the wizards apart from those that are expressly said by Voldemort.

Pyrites is too important a character to throw away. In the first draft of the opening chapter of the first book it was he who accompanied Voldemort to kill the Potters. the dark lord has never trusted his servants so much, especially when he was in strength.

Then when JKR rewrote the chapter he focused it entirely on Dursley and Pyrites was no longer mentioned, as happened to other characters. Perhaps like Hermione's sister JKR felt it was too late to introduce Pyrites and so he is just one of many nameless Death Eaters in the saga. But his behavior, his unshakable loyalty to Voldemort could be indicative. Could he be the first to bow down and kiss Voldemort's robes, could he be one of the few who isn't punished?

Pyrites had to be part of the inner circle or Voldemort wouldn't have trusted him so much. So either he is the first who kneels or he is the third who died to serve him faithfully, the other two are certainly Rosier and Wilkes
