Re: maximum edge - Judas Iscariot is almost certainly "Judas the Sicarii", the Sicarii being an anti-roman Hebrew terror/resistance movement notorious for using the sica, a type of dagger, to shank Romans and collaborators in busy public areas. Daggers are silent and markets are crowded, so the Sicarii would walk up to their target, shank them, and walk away in to the crowd like real world Altair. The Romans and the stooges were terrified of them, and it's possible that Jesus was crucified (a punishment usually reserved for crimes against the roman state ie treason) bc he was associating with known terrorists.
maximum edge. honestly choosing cool badguy demon biblical villain names is cool and funny.
