Prestor John

Prestor John is the name given to a loose historical figure reputed to be a powerful Adept, probably a King or Priest Adept. Prestor John is today seen as a folk hero, a work of fiction which was inspired by historical figures and which grew into legend with retelling. 
Prestor John was said to be a king of a powerful and exotic Christian kingdom lost in the far East. Said to rule over a kingdom of Nestorian Christians, this seemingly mythical kingdom was sought out over the centuries by heroes and adventurers of all stripes and colors. Even into the modern era, tales of Prestor John have circulated among those inclined to tall tales. 
While probably a King Adept, with some positing him to be a unique Priest Adept, Prestor John was believed to have a powerful army which he regularly led into battle against the debauched heathens. Letters supposedly from him circulated often and his kingdom became something of a Christian version of Shemballa. 
The location of Prestor John's kingdom moved about according to whichever storyteller one was listening to. While posited everywhere from Ethiopia to India and inner-Mongolia, the mysterious kingdom of forgotten Nestorians has never been found or even confirmed to have existed.
