Answer: Four

The individuals that got possessed by the sceptre was Dhoulmagus, Jessica, Sir Leopold (Dominico's dog) and Marcello.

I hope I did not confuse you with this one, I included Sir Leopold because he DID become possessed by Rhapthorne's spirit. I also wrote down INDIVIDUALS, and not people.

Although Marcello initially overcame Rhapthorne from possessing him, he ended up "being enslaved by it." You fight Marcello in Neos, which afterwards becomes in ruins and the basis of the Black Citadel.
