This is Richard Wagner.  He is the winner of Classical music.
Wagner wrote most of those immediately recognizable pieces of classical music that you hear in movies all the time but don't know what they're called.
The hat he wears in the picture was magic.  He could pull objects out of it as he needed them, kind of like Mary Poppins' bag.  Wagner was often known to pull swords, flagons of ale, human bones, fish dinners, gold, and live gnomes from his hat absent mindedly while he composed music.
Wagner was once bff's with the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.  They had a fight about something or other and then weren't bff's anymore.  Now Wagner is one of the greatest classical composers, and Nietzsche is quoted out of context by hipsters trying to sound deep.  Clear winner: Wagner.
Wagner's nose was in fact not a nose at all, but the head of a living, lizard-like creature which lived in a hollow cavity in his head.  When Wagner grew angry, he released his nose, which would leap down, run to the person who was angering Wagner, and eat their feet off.  People quickly learned not to anger Wagner.
Wagner wrote that piece of music that plays when a bride walks down the aisle.  Interestingly, in the opera it was used for, Lohengrin, it is actually foreshadowing to some brutal murder.  So yeah, I guess it's a darkly appropriate start to most marriages.
Contrary to popular belief, it was Wagner who invented break dancing.  He invented it on a spur of the moment one day when he was berating some orphans for having the gall to ask him for change.  He proceeded to breakdance better than anyone ever has since for three days straight.  The awesomeness of his break dancing performance accidentally opened up a wormhole and teleported his invention through time and space into the mind of whoever it was you thought invented break dancing.
Wagner did not die, but retreated to live underground.  There he lives to this day, growing angrier and angrier at ever teeny-pop album released.  One day he shall emerge again, and when he does, it is foretold that he will eat Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus alive.  Then he shall break dance.
