Cults are cohesive. Some are family, some are a religious affiliation; the most common and obvious reason for their communal activities.
The Violent Ends are communal in that a herd is communal. Some are more aware than others and able to gather food and water, then press this into the hands or mouths of those barely above catatonia. There is a bond without bonds, as membership doesn't require joining. There is comfort or atleast the path of least resistantance, for these sick and lost individuals in that no one presses them to act or feel.
You could I suppose give them a dramatic and tragic caregiver that sheperds them along.
I don't think it needs one myself...... Use them as a story telling tool to drive the point home that the world is broken and pitiless.
