Looking for Famous Historical Characters
I'm looking for examples of famous historic people as GURPs characters. Specifically I would like to see Alexander the Great, Achilles, Hatshepsut, Ramesses II, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Wu Zetian, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Ivan the Terrible, Montezuma, Darius, Askia, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Catherine de' Medici, Peter the Great, Kamehameha, Harun al-Rashid, Cardinal Richelieu, Napoleon, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Rasputin, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Winston Churchill, T.E. Lawrence, and any other historical people that were particularly heroic or villainous or some combination there of. Point level is not an issue. I want them to be arguably historically accurate, but they may be exaggerated or idealized.
Thank you for your help, Laura |

Re: Looking for Famous Historical Characters
You want GURPS Who's Who 1 and GURPS Who's Who 2, which contain many of those people. They're 3rd edition rather than 4e, but the differences aren't huge.

Of the GURPS Who's Who books I pointed to.

That's really easy, thanks to e23: Who's Who 1 Who's Who 2. The free previews include the contents listings, so you can see who's described.
