Mike Zizzo

Michael "Mike" Zizzo was an incidental character who appeared in The Popular Kids.

History
Mike's life before The Popular Kids is not described, other than that he at some point formed the Lords of Destruction, a self-proclaimed Satanic group, in the woods not far from the small town of McAllister, Virginia. He was in his early 20s while the rest were in their late teens. They apparently never commited any serious crimes, but just drank, danced to metal and drew inverted pentagrams for fun. Though he claims to be a Satanist, he would later argue that the word Satan is ancient Hebrew for opposer and that he claimed to be a such to shows his dislike for the local religious community. When Cory Bridges, a local student, killed Adam Lloyd, a high school jock, and abducted Cherish Hanson, a cheerleader, he had already taken precautions to make it look like the LOD were responsible; he lit a set of candles and let them burn until they were partially molten and painted "LOD" and a pentagram in red paint on a tree near the location of a dead body. The body was not a murder victim, but a tourist who died when he accidentally fell. Local high school syudents would sometimes visit the body and watch it decompose for fun.

When the BAU arrived and gave the profile, Cory told them about the LOD, having been there once. When local cops and the BAU raided the cabin they met at which they met, all of the members were partying, Zizzo standing alone on an altar in a dramatic fashion. During the interrogation, Mike remained very calm, almost arrogant. When he was shown a note left behind by Cory reading "Satan commands a virgin be sacrificed at midnight", he only chuckled. When asked why he thought it was funny, he said smugly that Cherish Hanson being called a "virgin" was the funny part. When shown crime scene photos of the candles and LOD pentagram on the tree, Mike became very defensive and insisted that neither he nor the LOD were responsible. They were then exonorated when Gideon learned the truth about the body from another student. Mike is not seen for the rest of the episode, but was presumably released.
