Immortal mystery man reported in 18th Century London, Paris, virtuoso violinist, multilingual, never explained his origins. Voltaire mentions him as a man who never dies.

[Eleutheria5]

There is a Twilight Zone episode and a Star Trek episode about a similar character.

Weird, I saw this video about this very guy the other day.

They have a cult thing going for him near Mt. Shasta.

[Larry Lucido]

Was that the guy who wanted to test out the death penalty but got life instead?

[Larry Lucido]

Or was it Death Takes a Holiday (Norm MacDonald voices Death).

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Oh, they mean Jesus.

This is just sci-fi, but the St. Germain story reminds me of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mOIxyRTY5I The Man From Earth Just a trailer, but if you ever get a chance to see it on some streaming source, definitely check it out.

Apparently he died at a very old age. Although his personal effects were missing, as if he skipped town.

There’s a grave, anyway.

Also, for theater geeks. This could absolutely be presented as a stage play. Perhaps it originally was...

[DarrellZero]

Well since the individual in question did in fact die, I would respectfully submit that he was demonstrably not immortal.

[Eleutheria5]

He apparently died. Only proof would be to disinter the grave and somehow prove that the body in there, if any, is him.

[No name given]

Exactly, Jesus is the only true immortal one and only HE can offer eternal life.

Elvis.

The Green Mile.

AMEN! ☝🏼

[TBall]

The movie The Seventh Sign had such a character.

[Flatus I. Maximus]

His friends called him... Kenny.

Don’t forget Enoch, the father of Methuselah, too.
