Kim Youn Ho

edit

was a Buddist Monk (approx 1650-1680) who in 1667 travelled round Korea looking for a relic of the buddha. he he declared himself divine and a "Creature from a greater land" and slew all who defied him . after 6 years of searching he never found this relic and supposedly returned to his legendary home "Helian" which was a small island of south Korea. (This island has never been found so is supposed not to have existed.) 7 years later he returned out of nowhere to continue his quest but was killed by two bandits.
