Some authors borrow ideas. Others steal them outright. Regardless, one of the most common approaches is to steal from reality, inserting thinly disguised versions of historical personalities into a work of fiction. This trope exclusively refers to characters that reference historical figures (herein defined as people who are dead at the time the work was first exhibited to the public). From emperors based on Augustus, Nero, or Caligula through modern military dictators inspired by Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Hussein and their ilk, from revolutionaries based on Che Guevara and gangsters who homage Al Capone through pirates who owe something to Blackbeard (if male) or Anne Bonny (if female), to Howard Hughes style eccentric millionaires, fiction abounds with characters inspired by deceased real-life counterparts. This trope differs from Expy in that it refers to characters derived exclusively from real-life historical figures and not other fictional characters. It differs from No Celebrities Were Harmed because it does not describe figures who are contemporaries of the author at the time of writing, nor is it a Roman à Clef in which historical events are deliberately disguised. Rather it can be considered Historical Fiction or a Sidelong Glance Biopic with the Serial Numbers Filed Off to make a historical figure into someone fictional. The character need not exactly line up to the historical narrative in overall trajectory, and one shouldn't judge for accuracy since Dated History and Future Society, Present Values abound, and new evidence will occasionally arise to challenge preexisting conceptions. On occasion, an author may also utilize a Composite Character modeled on several different figures, or a Decomposite Character who divides a single historical figure's role among more than one character. So long as the character or characters are recognizably modeled on a historical figure or figures (or at least the public perception of that figure) this trope remains in play. Remember that almost every author bases characters on someone they know from life and reading. This is when explicit historical models supply the base, overall characteristic, themes and impressions of the character design. If the character model is fictional instead, then see Fountain of Expies. May crop up as part of a Fantasy Counterpart Culture. Contrast Historical Domain Character, where a version of the historical figure actually appears directly rather than having a fictional character based on him. |

Samurai Shodown series has various historical cameos in their characters: Hattori Hanzō, Yagyu Jubei, and Amakusa Shiro are portrayed straightly, so there're others with changed names like Haohmaru (Miyamoto Musashi) and Tachibana Ukyo (Sasaki Kojiro), not to mention an American called just as "Andrew." | |

Taken: In "Jacob and Jesse" and "High Hopes", the former Nazi rocket scientist Dr. Kreutz is based on Werner von Braun. Also in "Jacob and Jesse", Dr. Peter Quarrington is the author of the book My Life Inside of the Flying Saucers. He claims to have visited Venus multiple times and refers to the aliens as "Space Brothers." It turns out that he is secretly an agent of the UFO project who says whatever they tell him to say. Quarrington is based on George Adamski, who made similar claims about meeting friendly, peaceful aliens whom he called the Space Brothers and traveling around The Solar System. Adamski is now considered a con artist. |

Pharaoh Atem in Yu-Gi-Oh! is based on Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the famously-deceased boy king. Both died at a young age, his name of Atem is similar to Tut's birth name of Tutankhaten, and the story of him reclaiming his name is based on theories that Tutankhamun was forced to change his name to reflect Egypt's Top God. His father and uncle are named Akhenamkhanen and Akhenaden, which is similar to Tutankhamun's father Akhenaten. At one point in the manga, it was suggested that Atem's tomb had been discovered only recently and those who found it were mysteriously killed, a reference to the myths about the cursed tomb of Tutankhamun. Both also apparently lived during the 18th Dynasty, and both chose their successor to be a competent military leader who led major reforms. | |

Shin Angyo Onshi: Most of the characters are named after and based on figures from across Korean history, not just the 18th Century the series is set in. Most of the time the author simply removes the family names and combines the personal names into one — such as Munsu (Bak Mun-su), Wonsul (Gim Won-sul) and Yeongsil (Jang Yeong-sil) to name a few. | |

Assassin's Creed: Unity has two unusual examples: The Big Bad Francois-Thomas Germain shares a name and surface background with a highly obscure historical silversmith, but his overall character and persona, a leader of an Illuminati-esque cabal that ushers the Revolution and secretly being a reincarnation of an immortal is derived from the legend of Comte de Saint Germain, who often appeared periodically in many 19th Century stories by Alexandre Dumas and Aleksandr Pushkin as a Humanoid Abomination Evil Sorceror The Man Behind the Man manipulator much like his counterpart in the game. Likewise the Templar La Touche has a greater biographical and visual resemblance to Maximilien Robespierre than the game's own portrayal of Robespierre. He starts out as an honest bureaucrat who slowly resorts to violence, wears a pair of spectacles (much like the real man) and finally quotes a famous speech of Robespierre saying that Terror "is nothing but justice, prompt, severe and inflexible." |

An explicit Allohistorical Allusion has Kenway promising to cut Governor Torres' lips and stuff it down his throat, something the real-life Low actually did carry out. | |

The Godfather has a couple of characters who are clear stand-ins for historical people: Moe Greene is clearly the gangster Bugsy Siegel Jack Woltz, who is "convinced" to hire Johnny Fontaine in his movie, is based on Harry Cohn, head of Columbia Pictures, who it was believed gave Frank Sinatra a role in the movie "From Here to Eternity" due to pressure from the mafia. Frederick Keinszig, a Vatican banker who tries to swindle Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III, is based on Roberto Calvi, the chairman of a bank called Banco Ambrosiano which was involved in a huge scandal involving large amounts of money that went unaccounted and a secret group called Propaganda Due. To further the connection, both share the same nickname of "God's Banker", and both end up dead and hanging from a bridge. |

The movie A Night to Remember makes sure to not address the lesser noble characters in the film by name, as to avoid hurting their families. The snobby Lady and Lord Richard are obviously modeled after Sir Cosmo and Lady Lucile Duff-Gordon. The cowardly chairman is clearly Bruce Ismay. He’s only referred to as ‘mr chairman’ and ‘sir’. The rude sailor is Robert Hichens. Stanley Lord is only referred to as ‘Captain’. He was the only one still alive when the film came out. He saw the film and hated how he was portrayed. |

Once the truth behind his history is revealed, it becomes clear that Emperor Belos from The Owl House is based off of Matthew Hopkins. Both are Puritan Witch Hunters who used fake titles to give themselves a sense of authority (Belos' desire to be called "Witch Hunter General" even directly references Hopkins' "Witchfinder General" title). And given the fact that Belos/Philip is all but stated to have taken part in the Connecticut Witch Trials, it's very likely that he was directly inspired by Hopkins in-universe. | |

Berserk Supreme King Gaiseric: The founder of Midland alluded to in volume 10 was based on the actual King Gaiseric who ruled the Kingdom of the Vandals in the 5th century AD. He was famed as a brilliant general who was seen as a threat even to the Roman Empire. In the manga, Gaiseric is said to have created a vast empire, similar to the Romans, that was destroyed by God's wrath. He banded together his small tribe and brought them great fame as a kingdom that exercised its authority in the Mediterranean region. Emperor Ganishka: The man himself, working as Griffith's enemy in Berserk, was based on King Kanishka, who ruled over the actual Kushan Empire, a vast empire in India and Central Asia during the 2nd century. He was also a profound Buddhist and adorned his empire with its respective figures and promoted it vigorously. Like his real-life counterpart, Ganishka also decorates his palace with famous Buddhist and Hindu figures but has demonized them to suit his nature. Mozgus appears to be based on Ivan the Terrible, due to his daily routine of slamming his face into the ground during prayer and his biblical methods of execution. |

The Earth King in Avatar: The Last Airbender is an obvious analog for Puyi, the last emperor of China: like Puyi, he was installed on the throne at a young age as a Puppet King controlled by his advisors and spends a life so sheltered within his palace walls that he is unaware of the crimes and tyranny being committed in his name. He also looks similar, down to wearing spectacles and Manchu-based clothing (Puyi was an emperor of the Qing dynasty, which was ruled by the Manchus). | |

Andrew Ryan in BioShock is based on Ayn Rand, while visually he's Mr. Alt Disney. His ideology of classical liberalism, private ownership, and anti-altruism is essentially Objectivism, with his paranoid and authoritarian control over his subordinates derived from Rand's own domineering leadership of Objectivist circles. | |

The Shinsengumi in Gintama are all based on the members of the historical Shinsengumi; however, they have slightly different names (for example, Sougo Okita is based on Souji Okita) and their personalities and behavior are very much their own and not based on historical fact. They also wear black military uniforms instead of the historical Shinsengumi's well-known blue and white haori. | |

Bad Times at the El Royale's McGuffin is a piece of film, created by the FBI, showing a well-known figure doing something scandalous in a room at the eponymous motel. All we're told about the film's subject is that he's recently dead, and with the movie set in 1969, the most obvious candidates are John F. Kennedy (probably dead too long at this point, and his philanderings already well-recorded), Martin Luther King, Jr. (who had indeed been the target of an FBI campaign hoping to discredit him, but most of what they had had already been made public by the time the movie is set) and Bobby Kennedy (the most likely subject). Also in the same movie, Chris Hemsworth's Serial Killer cult leader character is very clearly modeled on Charles Manson. |

GoodFellas: All the gangsters were based on Real Life gangsters: Henry Hill was based on the gangster of the same name. Paul Cicero was based on Paul Vario. Jimmy Conway was based on James Burke, while Tommy DeVito was based on Thomas DeSimone. The disturbing part comes when you realize that these people, Burke and DeSimone, were even more Ax-Crazy than their film counterparts. |

Requiem Vampire Knight is no stranger to using outright using historical characters though a couple of characters are heavily inspired by them such as: Queen Perfidia resembles Elizabeth I in more than one way, since her whole nation being a hellish version of the British Empire. Mother Terror is strongly hinted to have been Mother Teresa, reflecting various real-life controversies surrounding her, such as the poor care given in her hospitals and misappropriation of the donations she received. The Arch-Hierophante is the supreme master of the Archaeologists and was said to be a specialist at human vivisection in real life. One of the possible people he may have been inspired by is Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi doctor who performed many gruesome human experiments. |

The Elder Scrolls: Tiber Septim to Charlemagne and Julius Caesar as a great conqueror and unificator. Wolf Queen Potema is Margaret of Anjou if her negative traits were cranked up to eleven. A beautiful, ambitious and ruthless queen that wanted to put her son on the throne, fought a war in the attempt and ended up outliving her offspring in the process. Uriel Septim V has some mild parallels to Alexander the Great as a conquering European emperor who drove his armies far past the edge of the "known world" at the time and died under mysterious circumstances, though Uriel fell in battle. Emperor Pelagius the Mad is not only an example of The Caligula, but he is also very clearly based on Caligula himself. General Tullius is also based off of Julius Caesar in both appearance and his reputation as a brilliant commander dealing with barbarians (with Ulfric Stormcloak as a rough equivalent to Vercingetorix). |

Game of Thrones: House Targaryen of the House of Normandy and also, The House of Plantagenet, the longest ruling dynasty of England. Aerys Targaryen: To the French King Charles VI the Mad who was initially seen as a good and wise King but eventually became mentally ill. Charles VI was famously paranoid, believed he was made of glass, would randomly attack and kill pageboys and knights and in the infamous Ball of the Burning Men, he and a bunch of people covered themselves in inflammable resin which accidentally caught fire. The attendants rushed to protect the King and four people died in the process. His idea of burning down King's Landing together with himself rather than surrender it to the Rebellion's armies? Surprise! It's the same idea Adolf Hitler had in his last days when Germany was pretty much expected to fall. Roman emperor Nero might be an inspiration as well. He was reputedly mad and cruel, and he is said to have caused the Great Fire of Rome himself. Rhaegar Targaryen to Edward the Black Prince. He was seen as the ultimate embodiment of medieval chivalry and subject to a great deal of romance in his life and after his death, and regarded as the ultimate Great-King-That-Never-Was, at least by his supporters. Varys as seen in "Stormborn" is a kind of fantasy take on Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, an official who claimed to be Loyal to the Position while boasting Vetinari Job Security, serving multiple administrations loyally while secretly working to undermine and/or replace it when he dislikes it. The resemblances is more in career and profile rather than biographical or visual similarity (Talleyrand was well-known sybarite while Varys is a celibate eunuch). The line he mentions to Tyrion about how he paddles along while storms come and go echoes Talleyrand's famous line "Regimes may fall and fail, but I do not". His interview with Dany in Season 7 echoes his meeting with King Louis Philippe of the July Monarchy who wondered if Talleyrand would serve him or eventually try and replace him as well. Robert Baratheon: To King Edward IV, of the House of York (who also inspired Robb Stark), a brave warrior king who became a fat man harassed by schemers at court. His having led a rebellion against a megalomaniac sovereign also evokes the fictionalized Henry Bolingbroke in William Shakespeare's Richard II. Interestingly, the monarchs they overthrew even have the same numerical. Renly Baratheon serves as the parallel to George, Duke of Clarence, brother to Edward IV and Richard III — having been a King-claimant at odds with his siblings. It's probably appropriate to note, however, that Renly in the show appeared way more circumspect, well-meaning and better-connected compared to Clarence's open and ill-conceived power grab—which makes his assassination by Stannis less well-deserved (as Clarence was eventually executed by Edward IV for another treason accusation) and more genuinely tragic. Renly also has a bit of Richard I in him, being a gay guy who is great as a military leader but lacks the temperament for kingship. |

Disco Elysium has Kras Mazov, the Father of Scientific Communism. As the founder of the setting's version of communism, Mazov is clearly meant to be a stand-in for Karl Marx, right down to his name, initials, and even his appearance: full beard, balding in the front, hair longer in the back. There are also several other allusions to other historical characters contained within him, such as the fact that he actually led a communist revolution instead of merely theorizing about it, which clearly evokes Vladimir Lenin. There is also his popularity as icon amongst youth culture, which has clear parallels to Che Guevara, while his ignominious bunker suicide on the eve of the Revolution's defeat resembles the death of Hitler. | |

Specifically: John Monroe is modeled after Thurber. Magazine editor Hamilton Greeley, a recurring character, is based on New Yorker managing editor Harold Ross. Writer Phil Jensen, a recurring character, is very similar to American humorist Robert Benchley. Writer Dorothy Carter in "The Wooing of Mr. Monroe" is modeled after American writer Dorothy Parker. |

Warhammer 40,000: Ursakar Creed for Winston Churchill, down to the enormous cigar. Solar Macharius for Alexander the Great, including being stopped mid-conquest because his men demanded they turn around (although in this case, it's because going further would more than likely have resulted in becoming lost in the Warp). Many armies are based on historical army uniforms and equipment: the Praetorians are Anglo-Zulu War-era British troops (red uniforms, pith helmets and glorious mustaches), Kriegers are Gas Mask Mooks who specialize in WWI trench warfare, the Vostroyans are Tsarist Russian soldiers, the Valhallans are (the Western vision of) Soviet conscripts... According to some, the ork warlord Ghazghull Mag Uruk Thraka is a Take That! to Margaret Thatcher, by virtue of entirely destroying an industrial planet. Jaghatai Khan for Genghis Khan and Mogul Kamir for Attila the Hun. The actual Genghis Khan is implied to now be the oldest and most powerful of Khorne's daemon princes, Doombreed. Roboute Guilliman is Julius Caesar IN SPACE. Angron is basically Spartacus, being a gladiator turned rebel leader. |

Warhammer: Sigmar Heldenhammer has some similarities to Charlemagne, albeit Charlemagne spiced up with a bit of Conan the Barbarian and Thor. Like Charlemagne, Sigmar forms an Empire by conquering a number of Germanic-esque tribes. His later deification by the Empire might be a reference to Charlemagne's (illegitimate and later revoked) recognition as a Saint. Luthor Huss is a Composite Character of both Martin Luther and Jan Hus, both of whom were late medieval preachers from Central Europe known for starting religious movements that challenged the Catholic Church. Louen Leoncouer, the current King of Bretonnia, is clearly modeled after Richard the Lionheart. Not only does his heraldry bear a lion on red and blue, but his name is a French rendition of his inspiration's epithet (Leon — Lion; Couer — Heart). He is actually much closer to his inspiration's cultural identity than most other depictions, as the real Richard identified himself more as French than English, and Bretonnia is set in the Warhammer world's equivalent of France. Repanse de Lyonesse is the setting's version of Joan of Arc, though she repelled Chaos invaders rather than the English (or the elves that correspond with England's location). Leonardo of Miragliano, inventor of the Steam Tank, is an obvious one of Leonardo da Vinci. Lucrezzia Belladonna, a noblewoman known for her skill in using poison to dispose of inconvenient people, is based on Lucrezia Borgia, a Renaissance noblewoman reputed to have made liberal use of poison to remove her political enemies. Marco Colombo, an explorer who discovered the New World continent of Lustria, is based on Christopher Columbus, an Italian navigator who accidentally landed in the Caribbean during his voyage to Asia. Likewise, Losteriksson is a dead ringer for Leif Erikson, the first European to discover North America. He also has a dash of Thorfinn Karlsefni with his daughter Skeggi Losteriksson basically a gender-flipped Snorri Thorfinnsson. Isabella Von Carstein is modeled after Elizabeth Báthory, even wielding an unholy chalice named after her inspiration. Her husband Vlad has a more obvious inspiration. Settra the Imperishable can be seen as the setting's equivalent to Ramses II, being the greatest king of Nehekhara. He also has some elements from both Alexander the Great (being an ancient conqueror) and Gilgamesh (being a Middle-Eastern king known for his futile quest for immortality). Nehekharan queens Khalida and Neferata were respectively based on real-life Egyptian queens Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII, the former being an independent female ruler while the latter is frequently stereotyped as an infamous seductresses. Tamurkhan is basically the setting's equivalent to Timur the Lame, as both are steppe leaders turned conquerors (the former's name is meant to evoke the latter). The Dogs of War character Al-Muktar is basically T. E. Lawrence, being a western man who leads an army of bedouins. Supreme Patriarch Kostaltyn of the Great Orthodoxy of Kislev is a dead ringer for Rasputin the Mad Monk, even sharing his inspiration's alleged near-unkillability. |

The seasons in Conqueror's Blade are all based closely on historical wars or armies, usually with only minor changes to names of people and places. Thus we have clones of Suleiman the Magnificent (Fatiyh Suleiman), Joan of Arc (Gabrielle-Maelys), Harald Hardrada (Harald the Slaughterer), King Edward I of England (King Edmund of Loegria), and Robin Hood (the Wildwood Ranger). And then there's the Sanada clan from the Sengoku season - whose names aren't even changed at all. |

The Red Star: The comic takes place in a Magitek version of the USSR, so some stand-ins for historical figures pop up. In particular, the former leader Imbohl is a stand-in for Joseph Stalin, as he was once a revolutionary sorcerer whose lust for power drove him to become a Sorcerous Overlord. | |

The 4400: In "The Marked", Curtis Peck, a filmmaker who developed a cult following because of extremely low budget films starring his friends, is an Affectionate Parody of Ed Wood. The episode also features a Shout-Out to Wood as Marco has the poster for his best-known film Plan 9 from Outer Space in his apartment. | |

The Legend of Korra: Several characters are fantastic expies of real-life figures: Hiroshi Sato is an expy of Henry Ford, a famous industrialist best known for mass production of cars. Varrick is this universe's Howard Hughes — an eccentric businessman involved in aviation and film with a love of cookies. President Raiko is similar in appearance to Sun Yat-Sen, China's first president. Earth Queen Hou-Ting looks remarkably similar to Empress Dowager Cixi. Kuvira's life rather closely resembles that of Napoléon Bonaparte, in that she is a brilliant military leader who rises to power during a chaotic revolutionary movement for the ostensible reason of restoring order. Like Napoleon, she then seizes absolute power and crowns herself Emperor of a newly militaristic and expansionist empire that answers to her alone while her megalomania gradually grows to dangerous proportions. |

Honoo no Alpen Rose: Robert Lewis is based on Robert Capa, a Hungarian-American photographer considered by some to be the greatest combat and adventure photographer in history because of the photos he took during World War II. Like his namesake, Lewis is a photographer who takes photos of the Nazis' crimes and broadcasts them around the world. In the manga, Heinrich tries to unsuccessfully kill Hitler and is sentenced to execution by the Austrian government as a result, which is similar to the fate of Claus von Stauffenberg. |

Mobile Suit Gundam's Principality of Zeon is essentially a mashup of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, and their leader, Gihren Zabi is what happens when Adolf Hitler is given Hideki Tojo's job. The parallels to Hitler are acknowledged in-universe by both Gihren and his beleaguered, near-powerless father, Sovereign Degwin, who as a helpless figurehead dominated by Gihren, is playing the role of Emperor Hirohito (or Hirohito as depicted in the seventies and eighties). | |

Rurouni Kenshin: Several characters are based on historical figures of the Japanese Meiji period or the preceding civil war (when they aren't outright Historical Domain Characters such as Saitou Hajime). This includes protagonist Himura Kenshin, whose former persona as the assassin Hitokiri Battousai was, per mangaka Nobuhiro Watsuki, based on the historical pro-revolutionary assassin Kawakami Gensai (though their fates diverged after the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate). | |

The Sherlock Holmes novel Cry of the Innocent by Cavan Scott revolves around the legend of the seemingly undecomposing body of 18th century Bristol merchant Edwyn Warwick, which some say is evidence of divine grace towards a local philanthropist, and others say prove that this slave-trader had dealings with the devil. The controversy, and to a certain extent the legend, are based on Edward Colston. | |

Assassin's Creed III uses Decomposite Character to divide the historical Charles Lee into a character that is mostly In Name Only in both looks and background, while Haytham Kenway, the true Big Bad shares more in common with the real Lee, namely his romance with a Mohawk chieftain's daughter resulting in the birth of a son (the Player Character Connor).note The writers admitted they did this because they didn't want to actually have a fictional character be related to a historical one since it created problems for its DNA-based Myth Arc | |

The Sopranos: The DiMeos were based on the Real Life DeCavalcante crime family, which controls much of central New Jersey (South New Jersey is part of the Philly Mob's turf, while northern New Jersey is controlled by the Five Families, especially the Genovese and Lucchese families). Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo, the crime family's namesake, was based on Simone "Samuel" DeCavalcante, who was nicknamed "Sam the Plumber" because he owned and operated from a heating and plumbing company in Kenilworth, NJ. But he loathed that nickname, and preferred to be called "the Count" because he often claimed that he was of Blue Blood. Tony Soprano was based on real-life New Jersey mobster Vincent "Vinny Ocean" Palermo, who later became the DeCavalcante crime family's acting boss (acting on behalf of Giovanni Riggi) before becoming an FBI informant in 2003. Elements of Sam DeCavalcante were also added to Tony Soprano. Corrado "Junior" Soprano was based on Giovanni "John the Eagle" Riggi, who became boss of the DeCavalcante crime family after Sam DeCavalcante stepped down in 1982. |

Assassin's Creed enjoys using actual Historical Domain Character most of the time, but when it can't find history interesting enough, it creates fictional characters directly patterned on historical figures. Assassin's Creed III uses Decomposite Character to divide the historical Charles Lee into a character that is mostly In Name Only in both looks and background, while Haytham Kenway, the true Big Bad shares more in common with the real Lee, namely his romance with a Mohawk chieftain's daughter resulting in the birth of a son (the Player Character Connor).note The writers admitted they did this because they didn't want to actually have a fictional character be related to a historical one since it created problems for its DNA-based Myth Arc Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is Historical Fiction of real-life pirates in the Caribbean, but the main Player Character Edward Kenway is based on Edward Low, with similarities mirroring the pirate (his troubled marriage, affection for his daughter). An explicit Allohistorical Allusion has Kenway promising to cut Governor Torres' lips and stuff it down his throat, something the real-life Low actually did carry out. Assassin's Creed: Unity has two unusual examples: The Big Bad Francois-Thomas Germain shares a name and surface background with a highly obscure historical silversmith, but his overall character and persona, a leader of an Illuminati-esque cabal that ushers the Revolution and secretly being a reincarnation of an immortal is derived from the legend of Comte de Saint Germain, who often appeared periodically in many 19th Century stories by Alexandre Dumas and Aleksandr Pushkin as a Humanoid Abomination Evil Sorceror The Man Behind the Man manipulator much like his counterpart in the game. Likewise the Templar La Touche has a greater biographical and visual resemblance to Maximilien Robespierre than the game's own portrayal of Robespierre. He starts out as an honest bureaucrat who slowly resorts to violence, wears a pair of spectacles (much like the real man) and finally quotes a famous speech of Robespierre saying that Terror "is nothing but justice, prompt, severe and inflexible." |

Voltes V: Savvy viewers may have picked up on Prince Heinel's similarities to Napoléon Bonaparte. Both are descended from noble bloodnote Napoleon was descended from minor Tuscan nobility, Heinel is the son of La Gohl, both led wars with the purpose of colonizing land, both have fathers they considered "traitors"note Carlo Buenoparte was involved in the Corsican independent revolution, while Heinel's father manufactured weapons for multiple slave rebellions he led over the years, both were noted to be excellent in schoolnote Heinel graduated as the top cadet at the Boazanian Institute of Military Sciences and Warfare, Napoleon was noted to be excellent at history, both were bullied heavily growing up by their fellow aristocratsnote Heinel for being the son of a traitor, Napoleon for his Corsican accent and inability to speak French and even their swords are similar. It's also another nod to how the Boazanian Empire is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to France. The main differences between the two are that Napoleon isn't a bishounen, Napoleon actually won at least one war, and Heinel went out through Redemption Equals Death. | |

The Man in the High Castle, which isn't afraid to use Historical Domain Characters with many high-ranking Nazis making appearances in the series, curiously chose to use the fictional Martin Heussmann as something of a stand-in for Albert Speer. Like the latter, Heussmann is an architect and a close friend of Hitler and is chosen as Hitler's successor because he was believed to be a lesser threat compared to the rest of Hitler's inner circle. He could even be seen as something of a Take That! directed at Speer, who is nowadays viewed to have attempted a Historical Villain Downgrade on himself. Heusmann is more bureaucratic and rational than most of his peers, but he undeniably embraces the genocidal tenets of naziism. | |

Babylon (2022)'s cast is inspired by real early Hollywood figures: Nellie LaRoy is primarily based on Clara Bownote in fact, early reports about the film announced that the character would be Bow herself before the role was fictionalized: a boisterous and hard-partying silent film it girl who did not transition gracefully to talkies. Nellie also shares with Bow a mentally unwell mother (Bow's had schizophrenia), and an anecdote that during the shooting of her first talkie, Bow's boisterous Brooklyn voice blew all the valves. As a renowned columnist who reports on 1920s films and actors, Elinor St. John is a stand-in for Louella Parsons, Hollywood's original gossip columnist. Jack Conrad is primarily based on John Gilbert (a romantic leading man of the 1920s and Serial Spouse who had a rumored affair with Greta Garbo and eventually fell out of favor with the studios). Word of God also cites Douglas Fairbanks (another worldly actor with a filmography full of costume dramas) and Clark Gable as inspirations. |
