The Resume

    (April 13, 1570-January 31, 1606)
    Also known as John Johnson, or as Guido Fawkes
    Traitor to England who was eventually hanged

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a firm Catholic.
    He attempted to blow up the British Houses of Parliament in November 1605 but was caught and later executed.
    On the night of November 5th, throughout Britain, bonfires are set alight, effigies are burned, and fireworks are set off.
    The people do this to commemorate their country's most notorious traitor.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He earned 'considerable fame among soldiers.'
    He was a physically good looking man.
    He refused to release the name of his fellow conspirators even when tortured.
    He has a holiday (Guy Fawke's Day) named after him.
