faustus
Faustus is a character from German folklore who is known for making a pact with the devil, exchanging his soul in return for knowledge and magical powers. This story has been adapted into various works of literature, most famously in "Doctor Faustus," a play by Christopher Marlowe, and "Faust," a two-part drama by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The name 'Faustus' has thus become synonymous with someone who sells their soul or moral integrity in pursuit of power, knowledge, or material gain.
