Tim Nelson is from Crowley, Virginia. His mother was a retired mayor and his father was an army colonel who died in the Gulf War when he was a child. He doesn't like getting touched by others, due to having been abused by his father as a child. He graduated from Winslow University where he majored in political science and minored in literature, in which his faculty advisor was Joe Carroll, who saw promise in him and started training him in killing. During that time, Tim killed two girls the same way Carroll killed his victims. When Carroll went to jail, he took the blame for Tim two murders to keep him out of jail, strengthening their bond. Over the years, Tim was responsible for recruiting more and more followers in various departments: teachers, law enforcement, average citizens, sociopaths, and even former military that, according to Debra Parker, could be over as many as fifty to over a hundred followers. Tim is a sheriff that was mistaken for a police officer looking for the cult, and later revealed to be known as Sheriff Tim Nelson of Havenport, MD. Joe Carroll recognizes him later. Tim helped set up the new headquarters for the cult, a large property/mansion where they will be living.
