I believe you are referring to Judas, the rogue Apostle who betrayed Jesus. Yes, in betraying his teacher, he did set into motion events that would lead to, what many Christians believe to be, the salvation of millions and the illumination of spiritual truths. However, at the core of Christianity, all people are assessed by the intent of their actions, and not the result. If you read any of the criticism Jesus had for the Pharisees, he primarily faulted them not for deviating from Jewish law, but for abiding by the law with the wrong frame of mind and for the wrong intentions.
It is often said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Actually, from a Christian point of view nothing could be further from the truth. The road to hell is paved with an outward conformance to moral precepts without truly believing it in your heart. Intent is in fact everything, and is the key to heaven.
So Judas is not a hero for being a catalyst for Jesus' Passion. If it is God's will for Jesus to die in this way, it would have been done with or without Judas.

I think you mean Judas. And his intent was selfish and evil. Can't make him into a hero for that.

Little knowledge is dangerous. You do not know exactly the story of what you are asking. It seems that you are making your own story.
