This page features major individuals in the FLDS Church or those who are associated with it, who they are, and a picture (if available). I do not claim to hold the copyright of any of these pictures.
 Warren Steed Jeffs - Considered the prophet and God on Earth by the FLDS Church. Warren is currently serving 10 years to life for two counts of being an accessory to rape. His father was Rulon T. Jeffs and his mother was Marilyn Steed.
Warren was never ordained as a prophet by the previous one, his father, but was instead, self-proclaimed through a series of testimonies given by himself, his brother Isaac Jeffs, and one of Warren's step-mothers (who later became one of his wives), Naomi Jessop Jeffs. Members were told everything from Rulon wanted Warren to lead (by Isaac) to Warren was a spiritual reincarnation of Rulon Jeffs (by Naomi).
In a 2007 phone call, Warren claimed that he was not the prophet. Most FLDS members dismiss this as appeasing the Gentiles to beat them at their own game. Others claim that the call was genuine, but because Willie E. Jessop follows Warren, others must follow suit.
William "Willie" Roy Jessop - He is a spokesperson for the FLDS Church and a church elder. He first became known to the public during the raid on the FLDS Church in Eldorado, Texas as a representative to the media and has claimed to be a monogamist. He should not to be confused with Willie E. Jessop, the alleged successor of Warren Jeffs.
William "Willie" E. Jessop - He was the son of Alma A. Timpson (co-founder of the Centennial Park group). Willie gets his last name, Jessop, from his mother who sided with the "one man" doctrine during the split that occurred in the late 1980s. He is a bishop in the FLDS Church ordained by Rulon Jeffs to hold all of the keys of heaven. Back during Warren's rise to power, Bishop Fred M. Jessop tried to have Warren replaced. Willie sided with Warren and Fred was shuffled off to various locations until passing away at a hospital in Colorado.
In 2007, Warren made a controversial phone call pronouncing Mr. Jessop as the true prophet of the FLDS Church. Warren has since detracted the statement since lawyers claim he was not in the right frame of mind. However, Willie does serve as the overseer for the church while Warren serves out his prison sentence. His half-brother, Joseph Timpson, currently leads the 2nd Ward or Centennial Park Group.
Lyle Steed Jeffs - Lyle is Warren Jeffs' brother and is the current overseer of Short Creek (made up of Colorado City, Arizona and Hildale, Utah) affairs.
 David S. Allred - David is best known for his role in purchasing several acres of land under the guise of developing them into hunting lodges. They are now residences for FLDS members. The best known would be the Yearning For Zion Ranch in El Dorado, Texas, but he has also purchased land in South Dakota and Colorado. David is a close affiliate and reports directly to Warren Jeffs.
Nephi Steed Jeffs - Nephi is Warren's brother and a personal assistant to him which mainly consists of delivering messages to the leadership, the membership, and/or individual members. When Warren proclaimed himself not to be the prophet, Nephi was there recording it. After Warren made his confession, Nephi uttered, "This is a test. You are the prophet." In a series of confiscated papers, he was listed as having at least 14 wives.
Rulon Timpson Jeffs - Rulon was born in 1909 to father, David W. Jeffs, and mother, Nora. Rulon became converted to polygamy by his father and rose to power by becoming an ordained apostle by John Y. Barlow in 1945. He was the last to be officially and publicly ordained by any of the apostles. Rulon passed away in 2002 and soon after, his son, Warren (pictured), proclaimed himself as prophet. He is most famous for coining the term "Keep Sweet." His death was a shock to members because he claimed that he would live for 350 years.
Frederick Merrril Jessop (pictured with four of his wives) - Merrill was made famous by Carolyn Jessop's autobiography, Escape. Merrill Jessop is a second cousin to current FLDS Church overseer Willie E. Jessop. Merrill is serving as the church bishop of the Yearning For Zion Ranch. His daughter, Naomi, was one of the individuals who gave a testimony about Warren being a successor to Rulon Jeffs. Naomi was previously married to Warren's father.
Frederick "Uncle Fred" Meade Jessop - Known to most in the community as "Uncle Fred," he was the step-father of Willie E. Jessop, Elissa Wall (author of Stolen Innocence), Flora Jessop, and Ruby Jessop. Uncle Fred was born in 1910, ordained as a bishop in 1941, served as a first counselor to LeRoy S. Johnson and a second counselor to Rulon Jeffs before passing away in 2005 at a hospital in Colorado. After being reported to Warren about Uncle Fred's plan to replace Warren, Uncle Fred was moved away from the bulk of the membership so that he would have minimal influence. Church members were told that he was serving a mission for the church although the "mission" was unclear. Before Warren's ascent and Uncle Fred's plan, a conversation occurred in 2002 where both declared the other as the new prophet.
Flora Jessop - Flora is a former member of the FLDS Church who claims that she was sexually assaulted at 13. At age 16 she was arranged to marry a man against her will. She escaped and traveled the country before moving to Phoenix and founding an organization called "Help the Child Brides" which assists young girls escape. She is married now and has two children. Flora has been featured in many documentaries and interviews where she talks about the FLDS Church. In 2008 when CPS and Law Enforcement raided the ranch in Texas, Flora was among the first to call the phone calls that instigated the raid a prank.
Wendell Loy Nielsen (pictured with Warren S. Jeffs) - Wendell is an FLDS Church Bishop and has been listed as having 21 wives on records seized in the YFZ Ranch raid. Wendell was a presumed candidate for holding the role of prophet after Warren was arrested.
Ruby Jessop - Ruby escaped from Colorado City and Hildale after being married at age 14 to Havin Barlow, her step-brother. She was coerced into returning to Hildale, Utah and went to an re-education camp in Idaho. Speculations have since arisen to where she is currently. She was legally married at 16 to Havin Barlow and has at least one child. Ruby is the step-daughter of Uncle Fred.

Fawn Louise Broadbent - Fawn escaped with a friend, Fawn Holm (who is suspected of joining Winston Blackmore's polygamous group). Fawn Broadbent ran away from Colorado City when she was 16 in 2004 with the help of Flora Jessop. She has been interviewed on numerous occasions. Both Fawns decided to leave after being fed up with the patriarchs of the community making their decisions for them. When Fawn left, she had only completed 8th grade and was tested to be at a 5th grade reading level. Since then, she has graduated high school.
