Alternate Biographies of the Well Known

[Xen]

We need a new alternate biographies timeline; the others have died after enormous success. Like Puget Sound’s the same idea applies

The idea behind this thread is that you post what famous people ended in a single group alternate timeline. Remember, all posts are part of the same alternate timeline.

I will get us started
