Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long year.   Stolen many a man's soul and faith. I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moment, of doubt and pain. I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands, and sealed his fate. Pleased to meet you.   Won't you guess my name?
