The Count of Saint Germain is a 17th century influential gentleman that is shrouded in mystery and amazement. He was a great conversationalist, a multiliguist, a musician, a man with a keen interest and knowledge in the sciences, and he even exercised Alchemic practices. But he wouldn't let people know his origins—only a fantastical claim that he is 500 years old and has advised Jesus at some point. People are always uncertain of him and where his wealth came, hence casting doubt on his authenticity.
