The man who asked "What is truth?" while standing inches away from the Truth incarnate is the eternal archetype of moral cowardice. As the Roman prefect, he chose the fleeting security of political favor over the undeniable innocence of a "king" not of this world. The attempt to wash hands of the blood of the Innocent is the most famous failed act of absolution in history. He represents the tragic reality that neutrality in the face of absolute good or evil is, in itself, a definitive choice. This name survives as a permanent marker of the moment God entered the gears of human bureaucracy.
