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.
