Pan Twardowski
Pan Twardowski (pronounced [pʌn tfʌr'dɒfski]) is a Polish folklore character, a sorcerer who entered a pact with the Devil. Similar to the figure of Faust in German literature, Pan Twardowski sold his soul in exchange for special powers – such as summoning up the spirit of Polish King Sigismund Augustus' deceased wife – and eventually met a tragic fate.
