Louis de Saint-Just a.k.a. "The Angel of Death" was a leading figure in the French Revolution and close ally and protégé of Robespierre. He is often credited as the architect of the so called Jacobin "Reign of Terror" which would see tens of thousands put to death in the name of the Revolution. He would end up being arrested and put to the guillotine himself during the fall of Robespierre's regime. He was just 26 at the time.

He was reportedly a troublemaker and womanizer during his youth but once he got into politics he adopted a very solemn temperament.
He was also obsessed with ancient Rome, to the point he considered the whole of history to have stalled during the Christian era only begging anew during the Enlightenment.
His performance at the king's trial is the main reason behind the verdict. He argued fervently for the king's execution during the entire thing.

Also here's an account of his execution:
>Saint-Just was arrested on July 27, 1794 (9 Thermidor), after his attempt to deliver a report defending Robespierre to the National Convention was interrupted and shouted down. After his initial arrest, he reportedly remained calm and silent while detained at the Hôtel de Ville, even as others around him panicked or attempted suicide.
>According to historical accounts, Saint-Just remained completely quiet while waiting for his death. He is described as walking unflinchingly to the scaffold, reportedly showing "no trace of fear" and remaining "convinced of his righteousness to the last."
>At the final formality of identification before the execution, Saint-Just allegedly gestured toward a copy of the Constitution of 1793 (a document he had been instrumental in drafting) and said, "I am the one who made that." before kneeling and being decapitated.

Somewhat based. Imagine if the enlightenment had gone down this path, alongside Voltaire and the like rather than become atheist-christianity proto-marxist faggotry.

Their righteous punishment was fully earned.
