This thread got me thinking about some of the easter eggs and sources of inspiration that have helped form the Thay PW. As mentioned, some of ideas have their beginnings in popular (or not) movies, books, other games, etc. Examples from that thread include:
1. Bvlgari, the pompous jerk in Eltabbar’s Canalaside who got his name from the real-life Italian fashion designer
2. Gregane the Mountain and Priest Staark in Pyarados came from Game of Thrones/ASOIAF
3. Wei Dong’s Last Resort which was inspired by the American restaurant chain ‘Dick’s Last Resort’
4. Captain Sparrow in Murbant and the Black Pearl ship running from the Alaor came from Pirates of the Caribbean.

5. Whitfield - Identified by Pleiade
6. Sworingin - Identified by WillowWhite
7. Statue of Ser William Wallace - Identified by WillowWhite

So I thought as a bit of fun I’d start a little game here in which I give a few clues about the source of inspiration, and people can guess who/what it is in-game. Play along if you like. :)
Here goes with the first hint:
I played a warrior in a brutal time. I’m damn good looking, and not afraid to show off my assets. Sadly, despite being in fantastic shape, I was taken far too young by something I could not fight with my swords. So I’m here in Thay as a tribute to the real-life man. Who am I? Where can you find me?
