Infamous Villains
Henry Conwirth aka Dogma:
Henry was born to a heavily Christian family in Texas he went to church every Sunday always sat in the front pews went to bible camp and all that jazz.
When Henry was 12 years old his school took him on a field trip to Houston while their Henry, who was always easily distracted wandered off from the rest of the party and was ambushed by a group of serial paedophiles. They kidnapped him and over the next few years he was subjected to torture both psychological and physical. Three years after his kidnapping Henry Conwirth manifested the ability to make anyone who hears a direct command from him obey. We know now that the first act that Henry did was force all of his captors to sodomise and then kill themselves.
Over the next twenty years Dogma would go on to create a cult like nation spanning the entirety of the state of Texas, many invasions have been made to free the people he keeps under his thumb, all have failed.
To this day the only reason that the Holy Theocracy of Texas doesn’t rule all of North America is because of their monarch and deity has no wish to expand his territory and is content to stay with his play things.
