* CompleteMonster: [[SinisterMinister Jeremiah Sand]] is the vicious, cowardly leader of the Children of the New Dawn cult. Having [[SelfMadeOrphan murdered his parents]] and moved to Los Angeles to indulge in music and drugs, Jeremiah would form countless cults centered around himself to satisfy his [[ItsAllAboutMe narcissism]]. Working with the demonic Black Skulls biker gang, he makes them his personal attack dogs and allows them to murder and rape whomever they please, holding their chemist hostage to help continue their murder sprees. Taking an obsessive liking to Mandy Bloom, he has the Black Skulls kidnap her and her husband Red Miller, sacrificing one of his men to them as thanks. With the couple in hand, he has Mandy drugged and [[AttemptedRape tries to rape her]], while he has Red hung up with barb wire and stabbed in the side, and is ForcedToWatch [[spoiler:Mandy burned alive after she]] tarnishes Jeremiah's ego by laughing at him.
