Here is my idea for this page:
Historical Equivalents of Characters
- the actual historical characters who the fictional characters were based on
Does anyone have that list that was posted somewhere at some point that gave the names of all the people the characters were based on?

Uh.. all that goes on the actual article page, not on this talk page :-P Also, I remember that the book had a name list in it - did that also include a short bio/description of the character? --Kitsuno 10:11, 15 September 2006 (PDT)
