Influencer

The Influencer was the leader of a grocery-based cult and the primary antagonist of "Tom the Guru."

The influencer greatly resembles Mr. Claremont, with the grey hair, beard and mustache. He wears a green shirt and vest with what appears to be the emblem of Tom's cult.The influencer is a wildly delusional character, as he appears to be the most faithful member of Tom's cult. Even after most of the members abandoned their cult, the influencer desperately tries to gain back his followers. This shows that he is very devoted to the cult, irrespective of its leader.When Tom accidentally brought his shopping list instead of his inspirational speech, the citizens blindly followed his "philosophy."

However, his followers take his ideas too far by stealing others' food and groceries. When Tom tells his followers that he simply read a shopping list, his followers assumed that he "lost faith" and restrained him in a giant sandwich, then made the influencer the leader.

When Tom escaped with the help of his friends, the influencer chased them into a dark alley. Only Tom and Angela were able to escape, while his other friends were taken away.

To stop the town's crazy ideas, Tom gives his real speech in front of them. The citizens took this speech into heart and rejected the influencer and their philosophy.
