I don't think the secret is that he is a half-blood. I can't see RAB
being so alarmed by that information that he would face death to
help defeat him. This would mean that the DE will have a similar
reaction to Snape being half-blood. And correct me if I'm wrong but
Snape admitted that bit of infomation to Harry in front of Draco.

But I do believe he is keeping the fact that he is half-blood from
the Death Eaters. We know he's very smart and he has ways to get
people to do what he wants them to. He's just using this pure-blood
rampage as a means to collect followers... If that's what they care
about, that's what he would say he cares about too.

But Voldemort doesn't care about purity anymore, at least not as
much as he use to when he was younger. He doesn't even think he is
human, he thinks he is "so much more". He sees himself above
everyone, that no one is his equal, not even pure-bloods.

Again, I think the secret is really, really bad that no Death Eater
knows about except the one that could be dead.
