Comte de Saint Germain was an eighteenth-century aristocrat who sparked massive mystical rumors by allegedly hinting that he was centuries old and possessed the elixir of life. He was a brilliant violinist and chemist who never seemed to age, mostly because he constantly moved around European courts, lied about his background, and wore a ridiculous amount of diamonds to distract people from fact-checking him. Voltaire sarcastically called him the man who never dies and knows everything, yet modern occult groups still unironically revere him as an immortal ascended master who periodically pops up in history. He was essentially just a highly charismatic rich guy with great skincare and a talent for dodging personal questions, making him the patron saint of modern mysterious influencers
