Re: Link an historical character to the cited advantage
Feel free to share your opinions even if they go back to characters from ancient Egypt and there is no reliable method to check them. I prefer to have ten potentially successful opinions than none. Thank you.

Of course, if its that easy to pick up, its likely that some famous navigator or sailor had it. Between Columbus, Vespucci, and De Gama, I suspect you have at least one instance. Of course, I have no historical evidence to show which, or prove it at all.

Re: Link an historical character to the cited advantage
Ideally, youīd look for someone who has demonstrated an extraordinarily high intellectual capabulity in several unrelated areas (to differentiate from a high Talent) before any academic training (to exclude simply high skills).
For example, Carl Friedrich Gauss, demonstrated astounding mathematical capability as a child, but only in that area, though, making him a contender for Talent. The same is true for DX.

Re: Link an historical character to the cited advantage
Vincent Edward "Bo" Jackson. Known for his raw athleticism and ability to just pick up sports and excel in them. A true generalist. Competed in both MLB and NFL, and rejected a career in track and field after competing at the national level. He was said to just make difficult tasks look natural. You could build him with a talent for sports, but I suspect he's best built with a huge pile of RAW DX.
