Longinus is one of the most interesting Moriones characters. He is the principal figure in the Pinugutan, which is preceded by a chase. During the chase he climbs trees, runs into buildings, and goes through the marketplace. He uses the audience as a shield against the centurions who are out to get him, which is an art in itself and is always part of the spectacle. He normally gets banged about during the ritual chase, that is why his mask always gets damaged.
