The Branch Davidians cult was founded by this man, their self-proclaimed "messiah." Name that Waco cult leader.

David Koresh wasn't about to go down easy when federal law enforcement agents approached the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, resulting in a standoff that would last for 51 days. The so-called "messiah," Koresh preached that the apocalypse was nigh, which must have made it easier to convince more than 70 followers on the compound to burn with it.
