Samuel, fiancé of Annaleah
"I told Samuel... and he understood me. He too wanted to become a nazirite for one year from the day that should have been the day of the Weddings, that is the day after the calends of Adar. Meanwhile he went in search of you to love the One who had given him back his wife, to love and to know Him: You. And he found you after several months at "La Belle Water".His determination does not last, he begins to turn Against Jesus[1], then breaks off with his fiancée[2] whom he had already turned away from in favor of Rebecca, the daughter of the sandal maker.
This path leads him to become murderer of Annaleah's uncle, who came to reprimand him, whom he stunned with an axe after drinking too much.
Warned by Samuel's uncle, Jesus heals the dying man. Then he obtains from him that he forgives Samuel and does not denounce him:
"Forgive in the name of God. This is why I healed you. You care for Annaleah's mother, because she has suffered. Samuel's mother would suffer even more. Forgive."[3]When coming, Jesus brought with him Judas, very close to his final betrayal, to teach him in view of this misfortune, and try once again to To Save his Soul:
"Do you see where a first sin leads? To this, oh Judas! He began by being perjured to his Woman, then to God; then he became a slanderer, liar, blasphemer, then he gave himself over to wine and now he is a homicide. This is how one becomes the possession of Satan, oh Judas. Always keep this in mind..."[4]
Annaleah, at the threshold of her death, asks Jesus to redeem the heart of her former fiancé.[5] But inexorably Samuel will slip towards murder.
Apostolic Journey
Saved from the death reserved for murderers by the healing that Jesus performs on the dying man[6], he will not convert nonetheless: during the Passion, his mother wanting to stop him, he will kill her with a kick[7] to be able to go and strike the Master with a stick.
