Eric Rawdon

"You'll never stop it in time. Boom."

Eric Rawdon is a psychopathic homegrown terrorist and the leader of a group of anarchists, who appeared in The Storm.

Background
No details were revealed about Rawdon's personal life. He was a sadistic psychopath who wanted to cause destruction for the sake of it, and as a result, he joined the community of anarchists, which he presumably felt allowed the most leeway for him to provoke large-scale chaos. Hotch's profile on him also mentioned he joined white supremacy groups such as the Aryan Nations, though that was never elaborated on. Rawdon became prominent in the anarchist community and managed to rally dozens (and possibly hundreds) under his leadership, reforming them into homegrown terrorists. However, Rawdon never shared their beliefs and simply wanted to cause chaos through them. At some point, he began interacting with an autistic man named Asher Douglas, who he manipulated into participating in his plan of staging a large-scale attack against the U.S. Sometime afterwards, he was somehow caught and arrested for conspiring with the anarchists and sent to Virginia Supermax Prison. During his trial, Rawdon was profiled by Hotch, causing Rawdon to become vengeful towards him. While imprisoned, his followers began concocting a scheme to break him out.

Profile
''Eric Rawdon is a malevolent psychopath with anarchistic tendencies. He exhibits multiple symptoms of Antisocial Personality Disorder. These traits most likely explain Rawdon's gravitation to white supremacy groups. Unlike most terrorists he is motivated not by any political or ideological agenda but by a desire to create chaos and the thrill he gets from provoking large-scale hysteria. He is egotistical, obtaining gratification from personal power. He lacks empathy and feels no ethical remorse for the consequences of his actions.''

''On an interpersonal level he has an incapacity for mutually intimate relationships or forging meaningful connections with others. Nevertheless he is a master manipulator — someone highly charismatic who uses exploitation, coercion and deceit in order to dominate or control those around him. His ability to work with the Aryan Nation despite not adhering to their ideology himself indicates an utter lack of any morality. His personal code is to simply cause as much fear and destruction as [he can]."''
