Nicolae Carpathia is a charismatic religious leader who intends to take over the world. Carpathia was born in Romania. Through a series of political movements and works with the devil, Carpathia managed to rise very quickly among the political ranks of the world. Carpathia secured a position at the United Nations which led him to become the supreme potentate of a new One World Order. For all intents and purposes, Carpathia is the Anti-Christ. He bears the mark of the beast and forces his fellows to do so as well. Like many world leaders, Carpathia is charismatic, commanding, and seems to be unconquerable - that is until he is shot and killed.
Part of Carpathia's plan is to appear to the world as being a kind ruler - one that has the world's interests at heart. In truth, Carpathia is an evil man who will kill without flinching. Carpathia's main goal, aside from world domination is to locate the members of the Tribulation Force and other believers and to have them extinguished so that they will not undermine his command or power.
