James Purefoy is a warrior in the 17th century who is so good at slaying that his soul becomes cursed by the Devil's Reaper. He is finally convinced to live as piously as possible but wouldn't you know it there are still plenty of people that need slaying. Purefoy's badass-ness is so undeniable that he, in a moment of weakness in which he let himself be crucified, he gets really really angry and tears himself of the cross to go kick Medieval asses all over again.
