"Libertine" in Acts 6:9 does not name an individual but describes members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen in Jerusalem, a congregation of Jews or their descendants who had once been enslaved in Rome, likely deported there after Pompey's conquest of Judea in 63 BC, and later manumitted. Members of this synagogue were among those who disputed with Stephen and helped bring the false charges that led to his execution (Acts 6:9-14).
