Because everybody needs to know who this guy is:

This dude, ladies and gents, is the last Roman Emperor.
His name was Constantine XI Paleologos. At a time when the Byzantine Empire was reduced to one collection of mud huts behind a powerful series of walls, he reigned. When the Ottomans took over, he did what a true Roman should do and was last seen trading physical punches.
Now that's being a bad-ass.
