Johann Tetzel was perhaps the most famous saleman for indulgences in the 16th century. He worked for Bishop Albert in southern Germany, selling indulgences, (which are documents made by the Catholic Church to give forgiveness of sins and less time in pergatory in exchange for money). He used all kinds of misleading advertising and gimics to sell indulgences, and it was his actions that enraged Martin Luther to write the 95 theses. As for his beliefs, he was a staunch Catholic who probably thought he was doing god's work by selling indulgences to help fund the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
