Possessors

“	Arnie fell silent. His head slipped over to one side. His chin rolled on his chest in a boneless pivot. His hair dangled toward the snow. Spit ran out of his mouth and splattered on his boots. And then he began to scream thinly and beat his gloved fists on the van behind him: "Go away! Go away! Go awaaaaay!" Then nothing for maybe five seconds. Nothing except the shuddering of his body, as if a basket of snakes had been dumped inside his clothes; nothing except that slow, horrible roll of his chin on his chest. I thought maybe he was winning, that he was beating the dirty old sonofabitch. But when he looked up, Arnie was gone. LeBay was there.	„
	~ Dennis Guilder narrating how Arnie Cunningham failed to overcome his possession by Roland D. LeBay.

Near Pure Evils who possess others in a way of how a demon would possess someone. There are a few examples of what a possessor might be:

An NPE that's passed away and their spirit is using their victim's body as a vessel (e.g. Roland D. LeBay, CAT, Horny the Clown, and Dr. Eggman). Notably, these NPEs will often be linked to the world of the living due to a magical or otherwise supernatural link, and if the link is destroyed, they'll be sent to the afterlife.
A magic user that knows spells or enchantments that allow them to control someone and to speak and/or perform actions through them (e.g. HABIT and Ancient Master Org).
Similarly, if the NPE is a supernatural entity of some sort such as a demon or a spirit (or similarly, an inanimate object of some kind already possessed by an entity, e.g. the Overlook Hotel and SCP-035) that has the ability to possess people or take over their bodies and minds (e.g. Venom and Dai Shi).
If the NPE is a technological genius or an AI that can use the power of technology and gadgetry to take control of people (e.g. Agent Smith and Francis).

Also, despite their similarity to brainwashers, possessors will notably differ in that they themselves will be personally controlling their victim(s) instead of having the work of controlling the victim done remotely and/or automatically.
