    It might seem like a subjective question, but the answer is objectively Prometheus and his replacements in other cultures.

    Someone that went against God(s) to give humans knowledge that at the time was considered magical

    Like, we talk about how much tech changes stuff today, but fucking fire?

    Imagine being alive when your group of humans mastered fire. That shit would have been fucking mind breaking.

        Yep.

        The OG Light Bringer sentenced to eternal damnation for providing knowledge to humans.
