Cultist

The Resume

    (circa 1971-August 29, 2013)
    Born in Manus, Papua New Guinea
    Birth name was Steven Tari
    Established a Christian-influenced cargo cult
    Had 6,000 followers at peak
    Convicted on four counts of rape (2010)
    Sentenced to 20 years in prison
    Escaped in a mass breakout from Beon Prison Camp (March 21, 2013)
    Stabbed to death by residents of the village of Gal

Why he might be annoying:

    He was expelled from a Lutheran bible college for theft.
    He promised great material wealth to his followers, but never delivered.
    He claimed to be the Messiah.
    He and his followers would burn down the houses and crops of villagers who refused to join them.
    He burned down Lutheran churches and ordered the murders of Lutheran ministers.
    He had sex with underage followers -- some as young as 8 -- known as 'flower girls.'
    He allegedly sacrificed several flower girls after sex and drank their blood.
    He was killed while in the act of assaulting a young woman.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He left his possessions behind when he went off into the mountains to start his cult.
    He must have been persuasive: while awaiting trial, he convinced the Lutheran pastor who ministered to the prisoners to bust him out of jail and join his cult (2005).
    He was captured and beaten by the inhabitants of a rival village (2007).
    The murder and blood drinking allegations were never proven.
    If he rises from the dead in three days, we'll update his profile.
