Michael Collins is it. The Big Fella rose in the ranks of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and was sent to negotiate the treaty that ended the Irish war for independence. Upon signing the treaty that partitioned Ireland, he remarked, "I may have signed my death warrant." The treaty sparked a Civil War and Collins was assassinated in 1922. I often wondered if my grandfather had known the man as my grandfather also carried a British price on his head during the revolution.
As for Michal Collins the American, as a six year old, I felt bad for him because he flew all the way to the moon and they left him in the car.
