He is the second in command or spiritual leader in Glanton's gang, a band of ruthless mercenaries who unleash chaos in any town they encounter. Judge Holden is the most ruthless member of the gang. He ends up manipulating everyone around him
The Judge is an omnimalevolent being of immense intelligence and great eloquence—seemingly immortal—whose objectives are to propagate and impose his philosophy of absolute violence, to corrupt, and to become the sovereign of the Earth. (Holden’s desire for control extends beyond human beings; he obsessively sketches animals, objects, and landscapes in his notebook before destroying them, arguing that nothing should exist independently of his own awareness.)

Despite his boundless fascination with subjects such as geology, philosophy, mathematics, linguistics, natural history, music, technical drawing, and sleight of hand, he is equally defined by an insatiable cruelty,murdering, torturing, and SA
