    I don’t know so much about their background, I guess I’m open to options there. It’s the personality traits and values that would make me follow someone potentially into cult territory:

    • personable, charismatic
    • supports personal freedoms (for themselves and their followers, ideally also for non followers too)
    • has a sense of personal responsibility too, so, in layman’s terms if you screw up you own up to it and deal with the consequences, deities don’t absolve you
    • is not a sex predator of any sort (seems like predatory behavior is overrepresented among cult leaders for some reason, big red flag)
    • bonus points if they have a theatrical flair
