Is there some sense of these people being Iconoclasts in some regard?
At least in the sense for questioning the dogma of the day.
Another characteristic would be unafraid to speak what they believed the truth to be. Sometimes Kanye fits that category.
Another characteristic would be a freethinker.
The freethought movement of like the 1800s was kind of cool. Rejecting a lot of dogmatic religious thought (which had become more dogmatic at that time, not that religious thought is always bad) and determining some of their own. Robert G Ingersoll from that era had a quote, "I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men."
