Wow - well that was actually a coincidence, DarkRanger. I had no idea there was a real person who existed by that name. But alot of the names in-game are taken from other sources of inspiration as Bishop kind of figured. Some are obvious (Captain Sparrow and the Black Pearl being two blatant rip-offs), but some are a bit more subtle -
Gregane the Mountain (Game of Thrones)
Priest Staark (Game of Thrones)
Wei Dong's Last Resort (Dick's Last Resort)
etc
There are many easter eggs and names either from or based from other sources throughout the gameworld. In this case, Bvlgari was actually made a reality when I told the Mrs. (Heidi) 'I need a Roman-esque name for a stuck-up overpriced merchant in what's supposed to be the fanciest establishment in Thay'. She was flipping through one of her girly magazines and a Bvlgari ad popped up. The rest, as they say, is history. ;)
