The Polite Leader is one of the two main antagonists (along with Grace Ferrin) of the sci-fi horror thriller known as the Purge . The Polite Leader is a genocidal criminal who seeks to cleanse America of unwanted (such as homeless) and threatens to kill the protagonist's entire family unless they surrender a homeless man that stumbled onto their property, he shows a perverse sense of respect for those of high social class and does not wish to kill his "own kind" if possible but has no qualms with murder and other atrocities towards the lower classes.
