Longinus
The Roman soldier who pierced Jesus with lancea, the holy spear, while he was being crucified. The fate of Longinus after this act is up for much debate. Some texts say that he was ostracised to a cave and mauled by a lion every night for eternity. Others argue that he became a devout christian after preparing Christ's body for burial.
