Included are the 'outsiders' of religion. John the Baptist, Elisha/Elijah, Jesus to name a few in the Judaic-Christian tradition.
Same is true within Buddhist tradition of the monk in the forest who gives the ceremonial bowl to the next 'head' of the school. He himself the judge, then goes back to the 'neutrality of the forest (grey).
Reflected also in the military tradition of the farmer who takes up his axe and martials forces to defend the homeland and then return to the farm as again 'neutral'.

Each book of the Old Testament is a 'turning' of the cycle and becomes the actual lesson of the middle arm of the cross.
