François-Marie Arouet, or Voltaire - 1694-1778

Imprisoned in the Bastille twice for being a smartass.  I believe that also makes him a badass.  Don’t forget his last words, when asked if he renounced Satan: “Now is not the time to be making enemies.”  Ballsy AND brainy.  Oh, and French.  Does it get any hotter?  Let me answer that for you: no, no it does not.  Pas de tout.
