Bonnie Harless (Mafia III)

Bonnie Harless is a villainess from the 2016 game Mafia III. 
==History==
Bonnie lives in the city of New Bordeaux, Louisiana. She is the leader of a cult known as the Ensanglante, which is French for "bloody" (although they mistranslate it as "covered in blood"). The cult believes in a diety known as Pere Sanglant, or "Father Blood", whom they think created humanity. Their views are racist in that they believe non-white people are inferior and known as "the Filth". White people are superior and known as "Well-Borns". They before bizzare mutilation rituals known as purification, where they keep captured Filth and slash their palms while invoking a prayer. Oftentimes the means of capturing a "Filth" is to offer him or her free drugs and then take him to one of their ritual locations then tying him up in case the drugged victims comes down. The blood dripping from their hands is held over the victim's mouth, in which they think the Filth being made to ingest the blood will cleanse a Well-Born of his or her sins. Other aspects to the cult include offering fruits and rum to statues of Pere Sanglant, which mirrors that of vodou ceremonies. Members are also drugged with a hallucinogenic drug known as "Sky", which is burned in incense pots, often hung from a ceiling although in fewer instances pots have been seen burning on the floor. Exposure to Sky causes one to hallucinate. Prolonged exposure causes eyes to turn red and enter a state of hysteria, as seen by some female members known as "Harless Girls" who scream like banshees and attack enemies rapidly and wildly while brandishing a knife. The extreme state of being drugged by Sky is considered achieving cosmic oneness with Pere Sanglant.
It is unknown when the Ensanglante was founded, although one report said it was traced to the early settlers of New Bordeaux who had been plagued by death and hardship until their fortunes were reversed when they used blood rituals. A revered prophet of the Ensanglante was Braxton Mosby Harless, a Civil War general who claimed to be visited by Pere Sanglant, who gave him "divine wisdom" and a propechy to come. General Harless died in 1916, but not before leaving behind recorded messages of his encounter and what was told to come. Pere Sanglant claimed he would be born in human form into a descendant of the Harless family, who would be known as "the Blessed". In addition to blood rituals, Ensanglante members were to have sex in anticipation of "the Great Consumation", when the Blessed was conceived. For years, the Ensanglante terrorized black people as well as kidnapping and drugging them to use in their blood rituals. The persecution reached its breaking point in 1908, when the black citizens of New Bordeaux elected to take the law into their own hands. When the richest people in the city attended an opera performance, the blacks set fire to the opera house, killing over 100 white people, many of whom were Ensanglante members. However, decades later it would come to be discovered that this did not eradicate the cult as the arsonists had hoped. The surviving Ensanglante retreated into Bayou Fantom where little was heard from them for much of the 20th Century (although the arson was certainly a bad blow to the cult). Due to the lack of persecution in this time, many black people in New Bordeaux had been convinced the Ensanglante were a thing of the past. However, some such as Black Mob leader Sammy Robinson knew of the Ensanglante and tried to warn his sons of the danger of the cult. Growing up, his sons Ellis Robinson and Lincoln Clay considered them on par with spooky stories of ghosts and goblins or along the lines that their dad was simply trying to throw a scare into them if they did not behave. 
As heir to General Harless, Bonnie had believed ever since she was a little girl that she would one day get pregnant with the Blessed. For years she had had sex with the High Priest of the cult, a man who was also responsible for invoking "blessings" on male and female Ensanglante members who had sex with each other. Prior to sex, the High Priest would invoke a prayer, encouraging his followers to "go forth and increase your line" as the cultists ran off excitedly to copulate.
