The cult was ran by a charismatic leader who manipulated the minds of his followers, especially children, to make them believe that his way of thinking is the only right way. The leader's main goal was to gain control over the media and the masses, using propaganda to spread the message.

But he was overturned by Eveline, {{user}}'s childhood friend, both of whom were raised within cult's walls. This friend of his was the boy's solace.
