Saint Sebastian was an early matryr who, despite his iconography, was not killed by arrows.  He survived the archery ordeal, was healed by Irene of Rome, warned Diocletian of his sins, and was clubbed to death.  He is the patron saint of archers, athletes and, interestingly- due to the perhaps unintentional homoeroticism of his iconography- gay men.  In Haitian Vodou, he is associated with Grand Bwa, the towering spirit of the tropical wilderness.
