NPC Codex (Historical)

By Mychal'el, in Genesys

Time travel and historical fiction RPGs sound fun.

When players bump into real famous people from along the way, that's even better!

Share stats of famous historical NPCs here!

* One NPC per post please

Maybe to get the ball rolling we could start with famous historical people featured in:

  • Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
  • Dr. Who
  • Timeless

Or Legends of Tomorrow ?

The Time Machine or Back to the Future?

Sure, but not living people like George Lucas. Tolkien is ok though.

I watched some of the first season and didn't realize they included anyone other than DC characters.

I don't think those works feature any historical figures. This thread isn't for a list of works about time travel. I edited my original post to hopefully limit further confusion.
