Biography[]
Voit created the network as a means of financing himself during COVID lockdown and creating an army to ensure he had backup plans against the law. He used the Psychopath Checklist to identify the candidates for his network, buried Haberman briefcases across the connected U.S. with "murder kits", and targeted killer wannabees with varied M.O.s to match the supplies, strategically activating them for when he needed the payments and for the police to be distracted by his accomplices. Voit's server for his online chat rooms was bankrolled by Benjamin Reeves, a dating app founder and senator's son. Arthur Kiel was one of Voit's most loyal devotees, being given victims by Voit directly and waiting for his next assignment during breaks in between. Voit would also receive footage of the murders to satisfy his own bloodlust and seduce his followers with it as well, including his future lawyer Vincent Orlov.
The FBI found Voit's storage units with various victims and supplies of his own, tying the Haberman suitcases in them to those he gave to the recent killers the agents tracked, such as Rory Gilcrest and Robert Harris. They were never witnesses, as they committed suicide to take Voit's secrets to the grave. But they were liabilities with when they left trails to be found, which eventually led to Voit. Voit knew he had a mole working independently to kill Voit, Tyler Green, a war veteran whose sister Voit abused and later murdered while dating her under his birth name, Lee Duval. Voit lured Green in the open to ensure he was caught by the FBI, which ended up as expected, but from there, Green became the FBI's informant and consultant on the network. Voit gave Reeves his kit personally to commit his murders, then directed Reeves to take the fall for Voit's own crimes. He then flew with Reeves to Voit's hideout in Georgia, kill him and staged his death as a suicide to make him a patsy, and blew up the hideout once the agents discovered it.
By then, the agents knew who Voit was by finding his uncle, Cyrus Lebrun, a murderous gangster having taught Voit many of his habits, and who VOit later poisoned. Voit decompensated badly enough from being closed in on he abducted real estate agent Ramona Havener to rehearse what he'd tell his wife Sydney about his crimes. He tried to have Kiel kill her, which failed, but Kiel did commit suicide by cop. Going door to door, Agent Rossi met Sydney and realized Voit was the killer, resulting in Voit isolating them and trying to drive them paranoid so they couldn't trust the FBI and turn on him. Voit, in the meantime, went to a field office to see what Rossi knew about him and taunt him. When Rossi continued to doggedly pursue Voit, Voit kidnapped him and tried to kill him. Green stopped Voit, nearly dying as a consequence, so Voit held Rossi captive as a bargaining chip. He later shot Deputy Director Doug Bailey and was arrested in a shootout with responding police, later giving up Rossi's location in custody.
Voit worked with Orlov to get his sentence and security reduced. He also used his connections to threaten Orlov in sending messages to the killers who found him on his server, the Gold Star Killers. Voit tried and failed to use them to kill the BAU agents as revenge for his imprisonment.
