Throughout the ages strange characters have appeared upon the world's stage from time to time, men and women who appeared to be the bearers of a message to mankind, or were at least possessed of strange powers and supernatural knowledge. Often they have influenced profoundly the course of history; at other times they have passed from land to land, leaving behind them followers who have jealously preserved the secrets which the masters taught.
