Chrysaor of the Highway

Hrisaü Kadunamarka /χɾɪ.'sɑ.ʊ/, also known by his anglicised name Chrysaor of the Highway, was a legendary highwayman and gentleman thief who was active during the 1410s TE in the southeastern Danderillon. He was patron saint of gunslingers, duelists, challengers, and highwaymen.
He was an anti-hero at first - an outlaw and bandit who carried two pistols, and challenged travellers on the midnight road to duels, robbing their corpses for coin. It is said he never lost a duel, for his flintlocks were magically never empty, nor did they ever misfire, even in rain - However, he would always be a gentleman and offer his opponent one of his pistols, which would stop working at the most important moment, quite conveniently!
It might seem unusual that a bandit and murderer became a saint, but his canonisation was a controversial and relatively recent one. One night in the 1430s on the moors, he came upon six bandits who had captured the High Priestess of Datria and were intending to ransom her for money. Some higher calling overtook Hrisaü, and he shot dead all six bandits with his two flintlocks in the blink of an eye. He then delivered the High Priestess to the gates of Datria, where she pardoned him in front of a gathered crowd, as long as Hrisaü promised he would only duel the evil and the unjust - he agreed. 
He became patron saint of firearms, gunslingers, duels, challenges, highwaymen, bandits, and outlaws after his death in the 1450s. His icons were a black tricorn hat, and two flintlock pistols, or sometimes his followers carried a musketball or a shard of flint. On his holy day, Veltai 2nd, his followers might challenge one another to contests or friendly duels.
