* CompleteMonster: [[TheEmperor The Saran of Gaza]] is the emperor of the Philistines and conqueror of Israel. He oppressed the Hebrews with harsh laws, [[IllegalReligion banning Judaism]] and allowing Philistine soldiers to rape and brutalize with impunity. When a strongman named [[WorldsStrongestMan Samson]] starts fighting his rule, the Saran has the people taxed into starvation to make them give him up. Later, he has [[TheVamp Delilah]] marry Samson to discover his weaknesses, meanwhile ordering a total purge of Hebrew firstborns. After Delilah manages to depower and capture Samson, the Saran has him [[EyeScream blinded]], enslaved and starved before having him tortured before a live audience into [[JoinOrDie bowing before his God or dying]].

The messenger is played by Creator/GeorgeReeves.
