Glenn's Motive & beginning of the group
He believed he was a prophet and made a list of twelve things and called this "The twelve principles of magic" and he expected his followers to go along with these. He had plans to kill multiple people so he could take over his old church and start a new group called Transform America which was supposed to be a symbol of peace and joy. This is when he collectively decided to call him and his followers "The Children of Thunder". His followers being his brother and brothers girlfriend. -
Murders
These three decided to commit five first degree murders to spread that peace love and joy. Their victims were Selina Bishop, Elvin Bishop, Jennifer Villarin (Elvin's mother), James Gamble, and Ivan and Annette Stineman. Most of these were done because they were the church leaders. All of these murders were done for extortion and money and some of these victims only died because they knew of the extortion plan. -
Group dynamic
After those 12 principles were put upon the other two, they believed he was a prophet and memorized them and listened to everything he had to say. He would say that "whoever doesn't listen to me I have to kill". -
Group schemes
Their first scheme was to plan multiple assassinations to finance the group. One involved them selling drugs and prostitutes to wealthy businessmen and they would recruit girls at clubs. Their second scheme was to bring in underage girls from Brazil to attract businessmen to blackmail for money. Their third scheme was to adopt Brazilian orphans to kill for them. They ended up settling with killing Glen's former clients and easy businessmen. -
