comment |
A fictional character is revealed to be related to someone non-fictional and famous. Sometimes, this is supposedly a distant ancestor (for instance, Alice claims that she is the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Napoléon Bonaparte) while at other times the relationship is much closer in terms of blood. If that non-fictional celebrity is still alive, they might actually turn up as a guest star playing themselves.
Not to be confused with Real-Life Relative (or Relatively Flimsy Excuse, which deals with in-universe fake relatives) or Fictional Fan, Real Celebrity, where a fictional person is connected to a known famous person, but through fandom rather than family. See also Historical Domain Character, Famous Ancestor, Same Surname Means Related, Crossover Relatives, History with Celebrity, and Beethoven Was an Alien Spy. |

Bones:
Angela is the daughter of Billy Gibbons, guitarist of ZZ Top, who guest stars as a fictional version of himself.
Booth meanwhile is a descendant of John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. This is a sore point for Booth, and a probable source of his desire to serve his country so much (first in the military and then in the FBI). |

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag subverts this: when the character James Kidd first appears, it's directly stated that he's the son of Captain Kidd, if the name wasn't enough of an indicator. The subversion is that not only is Kidd not really a Kidd, he's not fictional and isn't even a man—it's a persona played by the historical lady pirate Mary Read as part of her Assassin activities. |

The Three Musketeers' take on the Man in the Iron Mask is that it was the (real) king Louis XIV's (fictional) twin brother. Aramis learns of this and uses it to advance in the Jesuit ranks along with trying to replace Louis with his twin, hoping he'll be a better king. Note that the author was well aware this theory was highly fanciful, but it certainly made for a better story. |

Giuseppe the pizzeria manager in Irregular Webcomic! has a tendency to assert his expertise in something with the Mad Libs Catchphrase "I'm a direct descendent of [historical Italian known for that subject]! Italians invented [that thing]!" Assuming this is true, he's a direct descendent of Alessandro Volta, Giovanni Casanova, and Augusto Righ, making him an expert in electricity, love, and microwaves. |

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey has it that the player character, either Alexios or Kassandra depending on player choice, is the grandchild of King Leonidas — yes, that Leonidas, the one also featured in 300 — through his fictional daughter Myrrine, whereas in actual history Leonidas is only known to have had one child, a son named Pleistarchus; spotty historical records are used to justify this, like most liberties taken in Assassin's Creed. It's also eventually revealed that Alexios and Kassandra's biological father is actually Pythagoras, the famed Greek mathematician, not their recognized father Nikolaos as detailed early in the story, doubling-up on their known historical relatives. |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: In the episode "Werewolf", Mike and the bots are surprised to see that the film features Martin Sheen's lesser-known brother Joe Estevez. Inspired by this, they start discussing "Who would you cast in your werewolf movie?", and all of their choices are the (fictional) obscure relatives of real actors, like Burt Reynolds' brother Tim, and Don Knotts' brother Spike. And Tom Servo's last choice is Chip Hitler. |

Campion has an undisclosed source of wealth and is indicated to have some connection with the royal family. George V, like other members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/Windsor, had Albert among his names, and Campion's real name, Rupert, also fits in with the German origin of the family. |

Blackadder:
The first Blackadder himself is a fictional son of the mostly-fictional King Richard IV, who in real life may have been killed in the Tower as a boy by his uncle Richard III and at the very least was never King. It follows that all other Blackadders are descended from him, though each descendant's lot degrades over time: from prince to lord to butler (to prince) to soldier.
Edmund's "friend", Percy is a fictional member of the House of Percy, an English noble family that had great power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In the first series, Percy is identified as the Duke of Northumberland and in the second series, he's Lord Percy Percy, the heir to this title. In what is possibly a deliberate error, although the Percy family were Earls of Northumberland for a long time, the title of Duke of Northumberland didn't exist until the 1550s and no one with the last name of Percy held it until 1766. |

Asterix:
In Asterix in Spain, when Asterix is sent to the circus and forced to fight an auroch, a Roman noblewoman drops her red cloak into the arena, and Asterix's attempts to keep it from being dirtied lead to him defeating the Auroch. Impressed, the noblewoman demands Asterix is pardoned, and since she's Julius Caesar's half-sister of a cousin by marriage, the Roman general in charge of the circus cannot deny her request.
Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter introduces Adrenalin, the daughter of Vercingetorix. It's not know if Vercingetorix had a daughter, but she probably didn't have a Punny Name. |

In The Prince of Thieves, Baron Tristan is the nephew of Prince John. From the way people talk, he is not King Richard's nephew (or son), meaning he could only be a nephew of John's wife Isabella, Countess of Gloucester, who had three elder siblings. |

The Count of Monte Cristo:
The (real) general Quesnel is given a fictional son (Franz) so as to provide a You Killed My Father moment (in real life, his death was unsolved). In the book, he's killed in a duel with Villefort's father Noirtier, with Noirtier keeping this interesting little tidbit as a trump card to prevent Franz' marriage with his granddaughter Valentine.
Haydee is the daughter of the historical Ali Tebelin and Kyra Vassiliki, and she serves a major role in revealing Fernand's crimes (in the novel, he betrayed Ali to the Turks and sold both Kyra and Haydee into slavery), leading to his downfall. |

In Grand Theft Auto IV and 5, two fictional grandchildren of Elizabeth II have bit parts, one being an unnamed prince and the other Princess Georgina. It's unclear if they're supposed to be the children of one of her four real-life children, or some fictional fifth child. |

Touhou likes this one:
Remilia Scarlet claims to be descended from Vlad Tepes. (Her stage theme is even called "The Young Descendant of Tepes.") It's complete BS, however: if anything she's old enough to have been his daughter.
Yuyuko Saigyouji is implied to be the daughter of the famous Japanese poet Saigyou.
Byakuren Hijiki is the sister of the historical Buddhist priest Myouren Hijiri.
Fujiwara no Mokou was the daughter of a Fujiwara noble of high enough rank to be a princess's suitor.note The most likely candidate is considered by fans to be Fujiwara no Fuhito, son of the Fujiwara clan's founder. Which in turn would mean that the founding heads of each of the Fujiwara clan's primary branch families were Mokou's brothers. There's no historical record of the name of Fuhito's fifth and youngest daughter, meaning there's no evidence she wasn't Mokou. However, due to the princess humiliating her father by refusing his proposal, Mokou swore revenge, drank the Hourai elixir she was supposed to destroy, and now fights Kaguya whenever she can (since both are immortal).
The relation between Yukari Yakumo (one of the oldest and most powerful youkai in Gensokyo, able to do whatever the hell she wants with boundaries) and Maribel Hearn (a young girl who can see boundaries) is uncertain, but fanon generally accepts that Yukari was Maribel very (very) long ago, despite existing in the same time period (which, admittedly, means very little in Gensokyo). When asked about this, Zun only said "There once was a man named Lafcadio Hearn" (Lafcadio being a 19th-century Irishman who eventually settled in Japan ad collected traditional ghost stories, taking the name Koizumi Yakumo). |

In The Mask of Zorro, the second Zorro (Antonio Banderas) is named Alejandro Murrieta, the younger brother of real-life Mexican bandit Joaquin Murrieta. The incident where Joaquin Murrieta is killed by Captain Harrison Love and his head put on display in a jar is also depicted, albeit a decade or so earlier before the real-life Joaquin died. |

In Botched, twins Sonya and Alex believe they are descendants of Ivan the Terrible. It is not established if this is true or merely a delusion on their part, but, if it is true, then Groznyi is as well, as he is their brother. |

Assassin's Creed:
In Assassin's Creed II, Ezio's teenage girlfriend, Cristina Vespucci, is the cousin of explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag subverts this: when the character James Kidd first appears, it's directly stated that he's the son of Captain Kidd, if the name wasn't enough of an indicator. The subversion is that not only is Kidd not really a Kidd, he's not fictional and isn't even a man—it's a persona played by the historical lady pirate Mary Read as part of her Assassin activities.
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey has it that the player character, either Alexios or Kassandra depending on player choice, is the grandchild of King Leonidas — yes, that Leonidas, the one also featured in 300 — through his fictional daughter Myrrine, whereas in actual history Leonidas is only known to have had one child, a son named Pleistarchus; spotty historical records are used to justify this, like most liberties taken in Assassin's Creed. It's also eventually revealed that Alexios and Kassandra's biological father is actually Pythagoras, the famed Greek mathematician, not their recognized father Nikolaos as detailed early in the story, doubling-up on their known historical relatives. |
