#1: Han’neesh Cult Leader
The Han’neesh are a civilization of mutants who have grown adept to living underneath the sweltering heat of the desert sun, one of the few tribes who can bear it. Their culture is largely ethnoreligious, meaning much of the things they do and believe are very much tied to their race. While not believing in a god specifically, they do worship the elements to some small extent, and they have plenty of practices which help keep people sated and working well with one another.
However, there are those who have splintered off into their own group, centered around a single leader who has portrayed herself as nothing short of an Earthly Goddess. At one time, she merely sought a power grab which she could not have attained via the “official” means, but over the years, she began buying her own cult of personality, and as such, believes herself immortal.
