If I keep the burns, it appeases the God of Fire and he will keep the God of Sharp Things at bay. Id rather burn than bleed

This sounds theologically sound to me. Gaius Mucius Scaevola, just to keep things Italian, can be your patron saint.

I dont think patron saints and multiple gods go together, he can be a prophet. Me and another guy there are both fairly well versed in Greek mythology and we mock our chef for his hubris to the point he has caught on and said 'im going hubris mode!'. It's fun to overstate people's accomplishments in a dead end job and using The Classics as a reference is fun.
