What are some hardcore crazies in history and humanities, be it philosophy or historians.
Historians are preferable, just because I'm not really familiar with any, and it'd be interesting to see some real warped perspectives on the past.
Louis Pierre Althusser was a French Marxist philosopher, who strangled his wife to death.There were no witnesses, and the exact circumstances are debated, with some claiming it was deliberate, others accidental. In his posthumously published autobiography, he describes the murder in detail.
Empedocles threw himself into the volcano to prove to his disciples that he was immortal; he believed he would come back as a god after being consumed by the fire.

>his earthly body consumed in the ideal of living ones word, we pray
A god that's all about how sacred ones word and convictions are? That'd be a decent D&D god. You may never lie and must always keep your word. In return, he grants you the strength to act on your convictions no matter how hard. His living avatar would be extremely powerful to the point of warping reality to match whatever they say. With that in mind, they're often silent and in meditation. When they do speak it's thought that Empedocles speaks through them and it's a landmark event for the faithful, of all sorts even.
