To answer the question I totally missed since I stopped paying attention to the thread why I would want a historical accurate portrayal from a fictional character- Its one of those cases where you have a fictional character or ten completely surrounded by real world events and people. Forest Gump is a great example. Forest is complete fictional but he lives just about as exciting of a life during that period as you can. Robin Hood was marketed as that kind of movie. Hell, it was filmed as that kind of movie. They planted a fictional character into a historical piece and usually that works very well. Then they screwed up the convention with having Maid Marian on the battle field.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.
