Judas Iscariot (Empath stories)

Judas Iscariot is a character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. He is Biblical apostle of Jesus Christ who betrayed Him for thirty pieces of silver. In the EMPATH stories, he is somehow related to the evil wizard Gargamel, and his heart has already been corrupted by power and money, seeing that he was only interested in following Jesus Christ for monetary gain in the present age rather than the promised eternal inheritance. In the story "The Passion Of The Smurfs", Judas Iscariot noticed the Smurfs following him as he was making his secret rendezvous with the high priests who wanted Jesus Christ dead. On the night before Jesus' crucifixion, when Judas tried to repeal the decision to have Him handed over to the high priests and was rejected, causing him to throw his money at the high priests' feet, Judas spotted the Smurfs and chased after them. However, he accidentally ran himself off a ledge and fell to his death, impaled and hanging on a sharp rock near a field below the ledge.
