Alan Turing I've always found him attractive. Considered the father of modern computer science and artificial intelligence. He helped the Allies win World War II by developing techniques for breaking German ciphers, including Enigma. He suffered criminal prosecution for being gay, which was illegal in the UK at the time. He died in 1954 of cyanide poisoning, by eating a poisoned apple. In 2009, the British Prime Minister apologized on behalf of the British government for the treatment he received after the war, but the British government still refuses to pardon him.
