god figure
Worshipped supernatural entity
A god figure is a person who occupies a position of supreme authority, reverence, or influence in someone's life or within a group.
The term often appears in psychological contexts describing how people relate to authority: Her father was a god figure she could never please.
It may describe cult leaders, charismatic founders, or anyone granted near-absolute deference: Steve Jobs became a god figure in tech culture.
