Judas

Detailed explanation-1: -Dante saw that Satan had three mouths in which he had the three greatest traitors of human history: Brutus and Cassius, two Roman traitors, and Judas Iscariot.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Judas that Dante writes about in the Inferno is Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Jesus by giving him over to people who would crucify him.
Detailed explanation-3: -In his three mouths, he chews on Judas Iscariot, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. Scholars consider Satan to be “a once splendid being (the most perfect of God’s creatures) from whom all personality has now drained away".
Detailed explanation-4: -Suffering even more than Brutus and Cassius, Dante’s Judas is placed head-first inside Lucifer’s central mouth, with his back skinned by the devil’s claws (Inf. 34.58-63).
Detailed explanation-5: -Why is Judas unable to speak? His tongue is a writhing snake.
