Mannahnin
Scion of Murgen (He/Him)
Christmas provides the reason John is in Los Angeles (to visit his divided family for the holiday), and it provides the opportunity for the crime. While the building is mostly empty for the holiday and thus more easily seized and controlled, and while the employees who are on-premises are centralized at a holiday party where they too can be more easily seized and held hostage. The reunion of the family at Christmas is the central goal of the protagonist. The holiday drives the plot.
The dozens of reference to Christmas in the script, soundtrack, and set dressing are frosting.
