During the grotesque and violent consummation of their relationship, his human shape melts away, revealing the demon beneath. It’s during this phase of his life, which we experience in the pages of The Stand, that Flagg takes unto him his bride, a schoolteacher named Nadine Cross, who for reasons unclear (to her, him, and the reader) had been destined all her life to wind up in his clutches. With little or no knowledge of who and what he really was, Flagg wove in and out of 20th Century America’s violent fringe movements - he was a member of the group that kidnapped and brainwashed Patti Hearst, for example - before emerging to lead a totalitarian nation-state based in Las Vegas (!) after a weaponized flu virus wipes out over 99 percent of the world’s population. In The Stand he’s effectively the Anti-Christ, an ancient, grinning, denim-clad psychopath with magical powers.
