Who is your favorite historical figure?

I don’t really have a favorite historical figure. As much as I might find history fascinating from time to time, I tend not to think about it too much because I’m more focused on the present and the future.

Unfortunately, I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head that I COULD say is a favorite. At least, not a real person, anyway. Given my love of fantasy, though, I could definitely settle on a mythological historical figure. Merlin came to mind when I started thinking about it from that angle.

So, let’s roll with that. Merlin the wizard.
