One of my ancestors was Doc, from Cannery Row. Of course, that wasn't his real name. He was Thomas Ricketts, and Steinbeck basically put him in the book as "Doc." Same biological lab and everything.

There was some guy named Bruce the Great (rough translation) that served as a general or something during one of the crusades.
