Gil-Martin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gil-Martin is the zealous religious instructor who leads Robert Wringham to commit a string of heinous crimes and eventual suicide in James Hogg's gothic novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.

The exact character and nature of Gil-Martin is complex and difficult to pin down, but it is fairly clear that he is the Devil, and is only there to wreak havoc and destroy souls.
