He encountered upon Satan who claimed it was his time to die. He tricked Satan

coin and X put the coin n his wallet and shut with a cross which stripped Satan of
his power.
X agrees to free Satan only if he agrees never to take his soul. After a while the thief
died. Of course, his life had been too sinful for X to go to heaven; however, Satan had
promised not to take his soul, and so he was barred from hell as well. X now had

Satan mockingly tossed him an ember from the flames of Hades, that would never
burn out. Identify X in Halloween culture.
