Described himself as an 'ascendant master', wrote a spirituality book

Australian Sean Haywood named himself after Greek and Egyptian gods

This is 'Eros Ra Sunandra' – also known as Sean Haywood – the man accused of stabbing a security guard through the eye as he allegedly tried to deliver a letter to supermodel Miranda Kerr.

Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal the extraordinary and deeply spiritual background of the heavily tattooed 29-year-old man allegedly behind the bizarre incident at the Kerr family home in Malibu on October 14.

Haywood was seen around the world, prone, shirtless and covered in blood, after apparently being shot by a security guard at the Californian property. He had allegedly grabbed a guard's knife and slashed him in the face before being shot four times.

A buff athlete and scholar of 'ancient religions' from the Central Coast region north of Sydney, Haywood recently started using the names of the Greek god of lust, Eros, and Egyptian sun god, Ra.
