Markus

The leader of this cult, we need a person who has a good manipulative voice he will be one of the main antagonist. To the students at Sun Valley High, Markus is a fun, relatable history teacher who has a reputation for being very charismatic. He gets along with all his students , from the nerd to the jocks. is trusted by faculty and parents. His ability to look at student records is what allows him to send a letter to the school pretending to be willow parents. Also his close relationship with all the students is what allowed him to get close to Willow and learn her personal life without ever looking suspicious. However in the cult He speaks in a calm, soothing, and authoritative tone. He rarely raises his voice. And when he punishes someone, he frames it as a "necessary correction" done out of love and concern for their soul. Having spent his life studying history he knows the rise and fall of historical civilizations, empires, and dictators, he believes that he is unlike them, that he knows how to avoid ruin. He thinks he is smarter than the other leaders in history.( I think this is where the need for him to create a cult came from, this idea that he had to prove himself to history that “if it was me i would” mentality) Markus knows exactly how to manipulate people. He can read a person's deepest insecurities and weaponize those against them. Markus genuinely believes he is the town's savior. In his mind he is rescuing it and he has a moral duty to shape a perfect, controlled society and that he is kidnapping people to save them from themselves.
