An early Christian saint and martyr (died c. 288). The Roman emperor Diocletian had Sebastian shot full of arrows. When this failed to kill him, and he continued to be critical of Diocletian, the emperor had him clubbed to death.
EXAMPLE:
' Mary Alice was smiling at a picture of Saint Sebastian, by the Spanish painter El Greco . . . Saint Sebastian was a Roman soldier who had lived seventeen hundred years before . . . He had secretly become a Christian when Christianity was against the law.
' And somebody squealed on him. The Emperor Diocletian had him shot by archers. The picture Mary Alice smiled at with such uncritical bliss showed a human being who was so full of arrows that he looked like a porcupine.
'Something almost nobody knew about Saint Sebastian, incidentally, since painters liked to put so many arrows into him, was that he survived the incident. He actually got well.
' He walked about Rome praising Christianity and bad-mouthing the Emperor, so he was sentenced to death a second time. He was beaten to death by rods.
' And so on. '

An absolute legend. Saint Ethan (pronounced Eth-un, not Ee-thun, a common mistake) is well known for trolling those who think their shit doesn't stink. The antithesis of those individuals who assume the worst of anyone who doesn't share their own backward views.
I saw the funniest exchange online today. Some hater was being a complete asshat and didn't realise who they were up against. Saint Ethan debased that mo'fo' in seconds, and shut them right up. It was hilarious. I love that guy!

The best fucking and most underrated band in existence, who's songs you have to listen to twice to actually like. Almost all of their songs are on YouTube.
"A. J. Jackson is so cool. He's hot, and the lead singer of Saint Motel!"
Someone who strives for peace, but isn't afraid to go to war for what they believe in. Of course, a rebel at heart, one hates the norms of the society they were born into and generally expresses that artistically.
Street artists such as Banksy and modern philosophers like Locke are rebel saints.
