Name that historical figure!

[Grymloq]

Anyone can take my turn

[FrancMor13]

Ok, so if you don't want your turn I'll accept I give you +rep by the way and thanks.
So here you have, this is an easy one!

[Visna]

Don't think I've ever seen that picture before, but the beard, hairdo and staring eyes look like Lucius Brutus.

[FrancMor13]

No, but it is Roman too, you are pretty close and they share the first name! Ch'mon I'm givin' you a lot of clues!

I'm pretty sure that Visna is spot on with her guess, since the picture you've provided is actually Lucius Iunius Brutus, to whom Visna was referring too.

[FrancMor13]

God Damn It and Bloody Hell! I found the picture as Lucius Tarquin Superbus but in the french search (and no, Iam not french) as Tarquin le Superbe
(here is the link: http://voyagesenduo.com/italie/rome_..._histoire.html )
Well I will give +rep for both and, if Aikanár doesn't mind, the turn will be for Visna

[Aikanár]

Happens to the best of us, so don't worry please. Also, no problem at all, of course the turn is Visna's

[Visna]

Don't know how obscure he is, but a hint is that he's one of the few people whose name has turned into a noun. "He's a...." for example. It has previously been used in verb form too.

[Abdülmecid I]

Oh, that's easy, I'm pretty sure he's Mr. Quisling, the famous Norwegian collaborator. Nice fellow.

[Visna]

Indeed.

[Abdülmecid I]

Alright, who's the man with the shifty smile?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[GarretJax]

General Manuel Goded Llopis from Spain. Failed to lead a successful insurrection in Barcelona and was executed.

[Abdülmecid I]

Yes, that's Goded, the less known member of the fascist triad, together with Mola and Franco. When the fascist responsible for the coup d'etat in Barcelona chickened out, Goded immediately replaced him, a brave act that got him executed. It's a pity that Franco and the rest of his gang didn't follow Goded's example.

[GarretJax]

[Grymloq]

Alexios I Komnenos

[GarretJax]
