Hello, all :D
So basically, I'd like to start writing a book, and it deals with historical figures (with an agenda of their own) living in Heaven or Hell, depending on their life.
To do this, however, I need people with a shady past or mysterious circumstances surrounding them, like the man in the iron mask, Jack the Ripper, and so on.
So please, does anyone have any idea whom I could use? :D (possibly with a website link)
Thanks.

Hades.
The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried? (29:2)

Sherlock Holmes actually didn't exist, just an fyi. The guy he was based on, if you're looking for him, is Dr. Joseph Bell.

Nur Jahan, the first Emperor of China, Cleopatra, Lozen, Matahari, others on this list and the related Google search.

Also, Shakespeare. Especially when authorship comes into question.
