Church of Blood

The Blood Cult is a secret cult led by Slade Wilson. Sebastian Blood serves as a front for the cult.

Background
Sometime after The Undertaking, Sebastian Blood, under the instruction of Slade Wilson, formed his cult in Starling City and claimed to be the leader of The Glades as an alderman. He then recruited people into his cause and decided to use an army "of the strong", basically consisting of those who survived his test.

Intentions
On the outside, Sebastian Blood as an alderman is a well liked person who knows how to win a crowd within the Glades and has the support of those who have been affected by the Undertaking.

Blood's goals are unknown for now but it seems like he is willing to do whatever it takes and has an apparent vendetta against The Arrow as he was disappointed by the news that Count Vertigo was unable to kill him after being resupplied with his operations in Starling City, by Brother Blood

History
The background of his cult is currently unknown, though sometime after the Undertaking, Sebastian supplied Count Vertigo with what he needed to restart his Vertigo operations, but by the time Oliver Queen returned to Starling City after being on Lian Yu following the events of the Undertaking, Sebastian has become a well liked person and the people of the Glades seeing him as a leader with signs saying "Blood for Mayor" during the events of "City of Heroes". At some point, he hired the Hoods to assassinate the mayor of Starling and clear the way for his own mayoral candidacy.

Sebastian has gone to even criticizing Oliver Queen in the media after he was unable to attend an event he put together to make amends with Sebastian who didn't have a very good opinion of him and the Queen Family during the events of "Identity".

He then met with The Mayor in "Crucible", after he was arrested by the Starling City Police Department after a fight with The Arrow and The Canary where he is injected with The Miracle, possibly killing him.

In "State v. Queen", Sebastian sent Count Vertigo to kill The Arrow only to fail and be killed himself, one of his agents reported that there was progress, after dressing up in his costume, Sebastian and Daily approach one of the surviving members Cyrus Gold asking how he felt, when he said he felt stronger, Sebastian told him he was ready to begin.

During "The Scientist", Cyrus Gold now infused with Miracle begins immediate assaults on Queen Consolidated's applied sciences division and a blood bank for equipment to mass produce the Miracle. On the third stop which was an A.R.G.U.S. bunker, he attacks Oliver Queen using his strength which causes Oliver to slam into a shelf and is drugged and left for dead.

Meanwhile, Officer Daily begins following Sin and Roy Harper who are looking into the death of one of Sin's friends who was a member of the cult, Max Stanton who was killed by the Miracle.

In "Three Ghosts", Cyrus Gold knocked out Roy after killing Lucas Hilton and injuring Quentin Lance during a raid to capture him after being found out by Oliver Queen.

Sebastian injects Roy with the Miracle as Oliver arrives to save him but is announced dead, after getting a second wind, Oliver attacks and kills Cyrus with an arrow to the center-fuge that was producing Miracle, Roy later is brought back to life by Oliver after performing CPR.

Later on, Sebastian announces his decision to run for Mayor of Starling City on television while he goes to meet his boss who tells him that he will provide him with another sample of his blood to produce more miracle, his boss, none other then former ASIS agent (and a good friend of Oliver Queen) Slade Wilson informs Sebastian that he is not to engage The Arrow directly or Slade will find another to wear his mask, when questioned, Slade tells Sebastian that he will take away everyone he cares about and when that is done, he will personally drive an arrow into Oliver's eye.
