If "What" is an unjust criminal execution + a "Why" being to save someones life, then the WHO can only be Christ or a Jesus-type figure. Gold. Again, put a truly honest, uncompromising, peaceful man into a totally corrupt situation where the stakes are high enough - then the only "What" can be that our truly honest men will be put to death. This happened in Nazi Germany - most people compromised, but the few who spoke out were put to death. What + Why = Who. As sure as the sun rises each morning. Thats gold my friend, pure gold.

There's also something to be said about preserving the mystery about a character, because an audience doesn't always need to know why. In fact, audiences are probably more drawn to characters because they're not given an explanation, ya know? I love that what + why = who. That's great, man. I knew I'd learn some good shit from you.
