* ManipulativeBastard: See The Chessmaster and SmugSnake. While it's debatable if he is as much of a [[TheChessmaster manipulator of events]] as he'd like everyone to believe, and he's definitely not the writer he fancies himself to be, there's no denying that he is ''very'' good at playing with people's feelings and emotions as if they were a fiddle. The simple fact that he was able to create and sustain a following made almost entirely of [[AxCrazy ax-crazies]] and [[TheSociopath sociopaths]], people who wouldn't normally work well with others, is a testament to this ability. His entire schtick for gathering new followers is to use a mixture of charisma and false kindness to lure lonely and unstable people in, making them feel loved and valued all while giving them a sense of purpose and belonging. Ryan admits in ''The Poet's Fire'' that he himself fell victim to this to explain why he was blindsided by Joe, despite having reasons to suspect him from the start. He sums it up at the end of this same episode.
-->'''Ryan''': Joe fooled me. I should have known from the first time I met him he was the man I was looking for, but he had this power. Charmed and seduced. I know what his followers feel. They're better for being near him. He knows how to give them a little piece of... what they're missing.

* TheCorrupter: Like Joe, she acts as this towards her "children", raising them to be killers like her. When she recounts how she helped shaped Luke and Mark's darker impulses she claimed to only have nurtured them to accept them as who they were. However it's clear there's a bit of [[PsychologicalProjection psychological projection]] involved considering she was already a killer at that point, along with a heavy dose of denial considering she's the one who brutally orphaned them.

These events explains her serial killer personality, and her obsession with filling the void of familial love in her life by creating a family made of like-minded people.
