   John the Baptist
John the Baptist
Possessed of appalling dress sense (goatskins are SO first millennium), dubious social skills (what with all the shouting and the locust breath), John might seem a bit of a long shot, but don't discount our favourite Wild Desert Prophet just yet. He may not be used to being around so much water, but he's an adaptable sort and we're sure he'll get the hang of it. Hey, he might even bathe.
