Saint Peter

Is known biblically as the first pope, "The first stone to build his (God's) kingdom.."

The keeper of the gates (the keys) of heaven.

He was crucified upside down per his own request because he believed that he was not worthy to be crucified like Jesus. Consequently his cross is the inverted cross, which to some may be satanic. "Coincidentally," Jesus at one point does call Saint Peter "Satan" because "For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16:23; here, there is a distinction between Lucifer and Satan.

He is syncretized with the Orisha Ogun in the Santería tradition.
Ogun is also associated with keys.
