There was another antagonist from a Creepypasta that I wanted to discuss. His name Charlie Stocke, and he is from a Creepypasta called "How I Escaped from a Cult"

Stocke was the self-proclaimed prophet of a cult known as the Third Reincarnation of the King (TRK) as well as the supposed third reincarnation of Christ. He would punish his followers by placing them on the "prayer list" which essentially means that he splits families a part. He would also purposefully starve any of his followers into submission, and he forced them to work eight hours straight. When the protagonist's father went against his wishes to execute a married couple because they tried to escape the cult, Stocke takes a large stone and hits him over the head with it. The protagonist's mother also died, though she died at the hands of one of his apostles. After the married couple and his parents were executed, two more families were sentenced to death when they were caught stealing. Nine more people died from starvation because of Stocke, and some of his followers even resorted to cannibalism.

Eventually, Stocke tried to orchestrate a mass suicide, but thankfully, the protagonist escaped before this could happen. Stocke and the remainder of his followers end up getting burned alive and eaten. Pretty much, I don't know what to say about him. On the one hand, he sounds like a generic cult leader, but given how sadistic and psychopathic he was, he probably is able to stand out. There's also the fact that it's implied that he doesn't believe in the own crap that he's giving out. One example of this is when the money runs low, but he stated that 'the Lord will provide,' which could mean that he was trying to knock off any suspicion from him. He's also very power hungry as shown when he violently executed some of the members of his cult when they tried to leave the TRK. He was only in it for himself.

Overall, I don't really know what to say about him. What do you think?
