A blind beggar who sat on the road outside Jericho. When he heard Jesus was passing through, he started shouting 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' The crowd told him to shut up but he yelled even louder. Jesus stopped, called him over, and asked what he wanted. Bartimaeus said 'I want to see' — and Jesus restored his sight on the spot (Mark 10:46-52, Luke 18:35-43).
