Christiana
Evangelist gets Christian on the path to repentance and salvation. In answer to Christian’s distress, Evangelist gives him a parchment roll that reads, “Fly from the wrath to come” and directs him to the Wicket-Gate. He reappears when Christian falls prey to Worldly Wiseman’s misdirection and gets Christian back on the right path. He also prophesies Faithful’s martyrdom in Vanity Fair.

Then [Evangelist] gave him a Parchment-roll, and there was written within, Fly from the wrath to come.
The Man therefore read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly? Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, Do you see yonder Wicket-gate? The Man said, No. Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining Light? He said, I think I do. Then said Evangelist, Keep that Light in your eye, and go up directly thereto: so shalt thou see the Gate; at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do.
