## Bio

Whoever he was before the 1740s, the man calling himself the Count of St. Germain surfaced in European high society with a portfolio spanning science, philosophy, and the arts — and a habit of reinvention that produced at least nine alternate names, from Marquess of Montferrat to Prince Ragoczy. He cultivated friendships with Casanova, Voltaire, and Mozart, and impressed Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel enough to be named "one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived." His claims grew wilder as his fame did: he let it be known he'd lived 500 years, a boast that drew equal parts fascination and mockery. He died in February 1784, leaving no verified origin and a legend that outlasted the facts.
