Behind the scenes[]
His name appears to be inspired by 'Doctor Faustus' is a novel about a man (aka Faust) who sells his soul to the devil.
The story of Faust may have been based on Pope Sylvester.[2] However, it was Johann Georg Faust, an itinerant alchemist, astrologer and magician of the German Renaissance whose life became the nucleus of the popular tale of Doctor Faust. Though certainly Gerbert/Sylvester II was an inspiration as well.[3]
These may be two characters or one, it is unclear.
