Saint Peter
Peter is the fisherman called first, the one who walks on the water and sinks, who confesses and denies, and to whom the keys are given - what is bound on earth is bound in heaven. He is the rock the church is built on and the keeper of the gate.
A saint, not a deity. The keys are the attribute and the practice.
