Nathan Hale
An asterisk ("*", see also splat, ASCII).
Notionally, from "I regret that I have only one asterisk for
my country!" ("life to give" -> "ass to risk" -> "asterisk"),
a misquote of the famous remark uttered by Nathan Hale just
before he was hanged. Hale was a (failed) spy for the rebels
in the American War of Independence.
