David Koresh, born Vernon Wayne Howell on August 17, 1959, was the leader of the Branch Davidians, a religious sect that believed he was the final prophet. He legally changed his name to David Koresh on May 15, 1990. In 1993, he and his followers were besieged by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and later the FBI, which culminated in a fire at their compound in Waco, Texas, resulting in the deaths of Koresh and 75 others, including 21 children. The group has roots dating back to 1935.
