Agreed!

Certainly. I'm just a little surprised that there is no readily findable definitive answer in this age of google and wikipedia.
When I did a Google search, I got lots of hits about the book. It may be that there is info out there about the actual historical figure, but it's buried on page 197 of Google hits. Or, it may be that no one has bothered to post info about him on the internet, but you might find references in dusty old history books in libraries.
In this age of readily available info, it's easy to assume that every iota of data has been uploaded to the internet. But not necessarily. Undoubtedly there is still a massive amount of data preserved in books that no one has yet transferred to electronic format.
