Who's your guess?
Mystery character of the month
As the November gales blow, here’s a mystery character of both fact and fiction. Let’s see how quickly you can come up with the right answer!
Writers, filmmakers, bards and poets have long been captivated by this character who possessed both a taste for blood and a sense of the divine.
The name of this character is not what this character called themselves. In fact, documentation reveals that the character may’ve never used the name they have been known by through the ages.
This character was both revered and reviled and, although there was an attempt to set the record straight, it would take centuries before they were seen as heroic.
And here’s one last clue: If you want to see how global this character’s influence is, you have only to visit the beautiful campus of a Jesuit university in the Midwest.
Do you know who this character is? And can you name a work of fiction in which they appear? When you have the answer, email me before 5 p.m. on Monday at kmiller@mpr.org.
