Governor Pilate

Governor Pilate is the character who appears in the song "Kill The Hero" as the man to decide Hero's fate when Chief Rabbi Kai brings him before the governor, charged with the crime of committing sedition against the state. Governor Pilate saw no evidence to support the chief rabbi's claim of such and instead has Hero sent back to Brooklyn to have the Jews deal with him, washing his hands of any responsibility for Hero's fate.

Governor Pilate is the analog of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea who sentenced Jesus Christ to death by crucifixion in the Bible.

Governor Pilate is played by Bob Farrell in the !HERO: The Rock Opera album.
