Raoul Whalen

"It's time to kill Steven now."

Raoul Whalen is a sociopathic killer who appeared in Alchemy.

Background
Born of Native American descent, Raoul was a closet sociopath who worked as a medicine man and sold his herbal products to customers, promoting his business through false advertisements; in one, he claimed that his products cured him of prostate cancer. Raoul operated his business under the alias of "Roger Whitcomb". He also had murderous urges, as evidenced when he tried to poison someone with solanine during his medicinal studies. Raoul eventually met Tess Mynock, a woman who sought out his products due to a disease she suffered in which she was sensitive to light as a result of her young son Adam's drowning. The two became close, with Raoul becoming an employee under Tess when she became the manager of a hotel. Both eventually married, and Raoul took this opportunity to convince Tess to start her killings.

Profile
No specific profile was made of Raoul, as the team was more focused on Tess. They initially briefly described him as a submissive male under the dominant unsub's control, but this assumption was later redacted when the BAU found out that he was manipulating Tess.

Modus Operandi
Usually, Raoul would kill his victims through Tess, with his only direct involvement being disposing the dismembered body parts of her victims. When he killed Amber Moxley, it is unknown how he did so; afterwards, she was dismembered.
