Post-Reveal, it has been often said that the character of Robinson Crusoe, created by English writer Daniel Defoe, was a composite of the life experiences and attitudes of two different persons: Alexander Selkirk and Peter. The latter met Defoe personally during the early 18th century and told him about his adventures in the Pacific, including the experience of being marooned on a deserted island for several years. If Defoe really based Crusoe not just on Selkirk, it would explain why Crusoe came from a merchant background (mirroring Peter's then-identity of a Dutch or German merchant).

And contrary to popular belief of some Jane Austen fans, his friendship with Jane did not influence the portrayal of any of the male characters in her works.
