Guillotin

Guillotin was a French doctor whose name was given to the guillotine, known for its use during the French Revolution.

In 1914, a man in an iron mask spoke of Doctor Guillotin to Indiana Jones and his companions. The masked man praised Guillotin as a kindly doctor that had wished to make the death penalty as painless as possible and claimed that he had invented the device named after him.

Behind the scenes
The guillotine was actually devised in the 1700s by Antoine Louis and Tobias Schmidt though similar devices predate the guillotine by centuries.
