St. Moses the Black
St. Moses the Black was a slave of an Egyptian government official who was dismissed after he was suspected of theft and murder. Joining a gang of roaming criminals, Moses eventually became their leader helping spread violence and terror across the Nile Valley. It was during an attempted robbery when Moses was found hiding out with some monks in a colony that convinced him to give up his criminal life. Hiding out in the desert, his old gang found him and tried to revert Moses back to his old ways but it was Moses who converted them. Moses was killed at the age of 75 when he refused to fight against a band of bandits that broke into the monastery.
