They worship him without question and whisper his secret name under their breath as they go about their daily tasks. What inspires this passionate adoration? The few outsiders that have laid eyes upon the beast report a simultaneous sense of horror and reverence that cannot be explained.'  Limited to 9 pieces, The Leader stands 8" tall and retails for $500 in Big Trubble's webshop.
