Cagliostro
An Italian swindler. His real name was Giuseppe Balsamo. After traveling around the Near East, he deceived people by claiming to be a Freemason and repeatedly practicing alchemy and making prophecies. He also called himself a count and frequented high society in London, Paris and other places. However, his fraud and other misdeeds were gradually exposed, and he was imprisoned in the Bastille in 1785, and in 1789 he was declared a heretic in Rome and died in prison. It is unclear whether he was actually a Freemason.

Japanese:
イタリアの山師。本名はジュゼッペ・バルサモGiuseppe Balsamo。おそらくは近東各地などを旅した後,自分はフリーメーソンの会員だと言っては錬金術や予言などを繰り返して人々をだました。また自ら伯爵と名乗って,ロンドン,パリその他の上流社会に出没した。しかし詐欺その他の悪事は次第に露顕し,1785年にはバスティーユに投獄され,1789年ローマで異端の宣告を受け,獄中で死んだ。彼がほんとうにフリーメーソンの会員であったか否かは定かではない。
