I've been considering a related Archetype myself... the Promethean -
someone who brings truth to society, but is suppressed by higher
authority or by society itself. Examples include Giordano Bruno
(ascended when he was burned at the stake), Kinsey, Galileo, and
Darwin. (I'm only counting provable truths in this, BTW, although in
UA that would include supernatural truths.)
