John the Baptist was an itinerant preacher, and a major religious figure who baptized Jesus Christ. He led a movement of baptism at the Jordan River, and held leadership over many disciples.
John was in the possession of the Staff of Eden, which he used to start his ministry. After him, Saint Peter would take the Staff for himself, and use it to spread the religion of Christianity.
During the 15th century, the famed polymath Leonardo da Vinci painted a portrait of John the Baptist, modeled after his apprentice, Salaì.
