Well, since you did CPR on the thread, I'll post one (This would make for an interesting ATL):

Pope Benedict XV (born Henry Benedict Maria Clement Thomas Francis Xavier Stuart) - Born March 6, 1725 in Rome and baptized the same day by Pope Benedict XIII. Upon the death of his brother in 1788 he became known by Jacobites, and within his personal entourage, as Henry IX of Great Britain & Ireland, though he never claimed or rejected the title in life. He spent his entire life in the Papal States (as an ethnic Scotsman he was the first non-Italian pope in several hundred years) and had a long career in the clergy of the Roman Catholic, rising to the papacy in 1799, succeeding Pope Pius VI. He is best remembered for his resistance to the advancing army of Emperor Napoleon. He died on May 16, 1809 in Rome.



The Thread.....IT LIIIIIIIIVES!!!!!!!!
 
Hunter Thompson - Journalist, writer, and Confederate politician. Gained success and popularity as an uncompromising journalist in tumultuous racially-charged Confederate San Juan, experiences he would later further recount in his acclaimed memoir, Kingdom of Fear and Loathing. Pursued a brief career in radio as an iconoclastic announcer and DJ, most prominently in his satirical in-character program The Duke and Gonzo Show. Long at odds with the Confederate government over his numerous and vitriolic criticisms of policy, Thompson claimed to have been a frequent target of intimidation by Confederate agents, including (alleged by Thompson) at least one assassination attempt.

Thompson's victory in his campaign for a local Florida sheriff office came as an incredible surprise at least as much to Thompson as to anyone else. Against his original intentions, Thompson chose to continue his political career, eventually becoming elected to the Florida state senate and ultimately to the Confederate House of Representatives, where he would become a champion of the Confederate reform-movement of the 1980's.
