Ignatius Timoty Trebisch-Lincoln came to Montreal in around 1900 after kicking around Europe.
He was born Jewish but switched to Protestantism and was involved in a local Presbyterian movement aimed at turning Jews into Christians.
He left after a few years and became a British MP and then moved to Asian and became a Buddhist monk, all the while engaging in various spying and counter-spying stuff. He lived in Montreal from about 1900-1903 but I haven't seen the books about him.
