How is it I've never heard of this man?
In the middle of the Eighteenth Century, one hundred years before the rise of Rasputin, a German courtier, alchemist, inventor, adventurer and spy became known to the courts of Europe. While his parentage was constantly in question, he was generally assumed to be nobility - perhaps for no more complex a reason than his bearing and his wealth. His eventual disappearance from history is shrouded in (and perhaps caused by) rumors that his alchemical experiments had yielded a cure for death.
While I have no direct link between St. Germain and Sam Bailey, I also don't have any idea what Sam was doing between the years of 1730-1784, when St. Germain was popular in Europe. Certainly, it's an interesting fit! Also, it raises the question of whether Sam's immortality may be self-induced... Something I hadn't considered.
While I haven't been able to find a clean scan of St. Germain's portrait, and while he was more portly than Rasputin or Sam Bailey, his face does share many of the same dimensions. If I can find a clear photograph, I'll be sure to post it.
If anyone out there is a student of St. Germain's work, please feel free to share biographical information or possible links to the history of Sam Bailey. If this little theory bears fruit, it might offer us a good-sized piece of the puzzle.
