The Count of St. Germain

No one is quite sure when this man was born, and some say he never died. He was a high-ranking French nobleman with jet-black hair, who went by many different names.In all ways , the Count was very odd, and perhaps an excellent con man. He was a ladies' man who sold cosmetics and dyes and was very rich. He played the violin and piano like a master, painted, spoke 10 languages, and studied philosophy and science. Above all he  almost never slept or ate.
