FFXIV video: "If Final Fantasy villians knew real mind control"
AustinRyderVA for The Master
Leader of the group the plot centers around and primary antagonist of the story. Manipulates their followers through empathy, love, authority and isolation. Can be male or female.
The most important attribute of this character is their ability to project warm authority. That is, the ability to make others trust and like them, but also command respect and compliance. Some examples of warm authority are Dumbledore from Harry Potter, Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, Captain America from The Avengers and Mufasa from the Lion King.
Basically, The Master is a villain, but they should feel like the exact opposite of a villain.

[Warm and concerned] “I just hate seeing you like this, Eny. I hate seeing you get hurt. So… I honestly think it would be better for you to not talk to him anymore”
