The public executioner, Charles Henri Sanson, or more formally Chevalier Charles-Henri Sanson de Longval. He was the royal executioner, and kept the job under the revolution. He didn't really want to guillotine the King, but it was his job so he did it. He cut off 2,918 heads in the revolutionary period, and then retired. He died in 1806 at the age of 65, a born Survivor. Napoleon, towards the end of his life, asked him how he managed to sleep at night after killing so many people. Sanson replied, 'I don't know; how do you manage it?'.
