IMC: Shadows of …

Arref and Paul mention some fictional characters who are shadows of the elders in their campaigns.

I tend to express the analogies between mythological characters and the Amberites who inspired them in the form of Ambertales. My favorite of these was actually the one I wrote in the original Amberway game, but I’m pretty fond of Hob’s tales and Ambrose’s tale, which are also mythologically sound.

And, of course, Jason Bourne is a shadow of Martin, but you guys already knew that.

If you want a good analogue for Benedict check out Marshal Gustav Mannerheim. He led Finland in it's fight against insuperable odds in the 1938/39 'Winter War' with Russia, but before this his whole life was dedicated to the art of war, starting in the Imperial Russian Army.
He even looked like an elderly Benedict might.

How about Stephen Hawking as a shadow of Dworkin?
