Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus was a superintendent of customs; a chief tax-gatherer (Latin: publicanus) at Jericho (Luke 19:1-10).
Because the lucrative production and export of balsam was centered in Jericho, his position carried both importance and wealth[1][2]. Being a short man, he arrived before the crowd who were later to meet with Jesus as he passed through Jericho on his way to Jerusalem. The tax collector climbed up a sycamore tree so that he might be able to see him. When Christ reached the spot he looked up into the branches, addressed Zacchaeus by name, and told him to come down. Jesus told the man, who was a hated tax collector, that he intended to visit his house. The crowd was shocked that Christ would sully himself by being a guest of a tax collector.
This led to the remarkable interview recorded by the evangelist, recounting Zacchaeus' repentance and vow to make restitution for his sins, and leads naturally into the striking parable of the Ten Talents (Luke 19:11-27).

Zaccheus, because the bible described him as a short man that had to climb a tree so that he can see Jesus through a crowd.
