  Simon Templar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon Templar is a fictional character better known as The Saint in a long-running series of books by Leslie Charteris published between 1928 and 1963.
Simon Templar is known as The Saint because of his initials (ST), and also because of his heroic exploits that fly in the face of an otherwise nefarious reputation.
Templar also on occasion would break the fourth wall in an almost metafictional sense, making occasional references to being part of a story, and mentioning in one early story how he cannot be killed off so early on; later, the 1960s television series would also have Templar similarly break the fourth wall and address viewers.
