Jokes aside...would anyone accept a mystic or prophet who did genuinely abhorrent things, and then had a revelation that changed him? I mean like truly evil things. Would make for a funny character in a book, a priest or something who is universally beloved and then it comes out that he was a murderer-rapist in his youth.

Im thinking it's probably pretty rare if it exists at all tbqh, I should have specified not just a priest, but like a straight up religious figure tier guy, someone considered a holy man, a saint, a mystic.
