For those who believe the gospels to be literally true, Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus' twelve disciples and was the one who betrayed Jesus. There are two contradictory accounts of his death in the New Testament, one in Matthew 27:3-5 and one in Acts chapter 1. The clear contradictions between the two accounts means that neither of them is likely to be real. This is further complicated because Papias provides a third account that appears to have come from a late first-century tradition, which differs from both accounts in The Bible.
The earliest written account of Jesus is in Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, which says that the risen Jesus appeared to the twelve (1 Cor 15:3-8), which can only mean that for Paul the traitor was not one of the twelve disciples.
In the view of John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious), Judas Iscariot is probably a literary creation. On the balance of probabilities, nothing written about Judas Iscariot was real.
