1st gen mercenaries are real people from history

I'm just once again amazed at how witty and creative Valve were, when they were creating TF2 and its lore. "The 2nd generation are mercenaries from the classics, and who then is the 1st generation…OH LET'S MAKE ALL OF THEM REAL HISTORICAL PEOPLE!"

So we have:

"Billy the Kid" (an American outlaw and gunfighter of the Old West ) - Scout

 Stonewall Jackson (was a general officer in the Confederate States Army) - Soldier

Abraham Lincoln (you know) - Pyro

Alfred Nobel (inventor of dynamite) - Demo

John Henry (an American folk hero) - Heavy

Nikola Tesla (inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist) - Engineer

Sigmund Freud (yeah)- Medic

Davy Crockett - Sniper

Fu Manchu (cinema. media character; an archetype of the evil criminal genius) - Spy

For a long time, I ignored the first generation mercenaries, thinking that they were just anonymous people with no history. Later I found out that Abraham Lincoln was canonically a mercenary in TF2 and thought how funny it was. But I didn’t even realize that ALL the mercs of the first generation were real historical figures. This is most likely due to the fact that they are(mostly) figures of American folklore and history (and I’m not American).

In short, I just really like this idea: to make a team entirely consisting of references to folklore characters or real people.

i love you.
