Joe Buckley (real life)

Joe Buckley is the founder of the website The Fifth Imperium, which collects information on various works published by Baen Books.
The ill-fated Honorverse characters Joe Buckley from Ashes of Victory and Joseph Buckley from Mission of Honor are named after him, as are other characters with similarly ill fates in the works of other Baen authors.
Buckley's likeness is found in David Mattingly's cover art for Flag in Exile, as two different steadholders in the crowd.David Weber Forum entry (pages 2 and 3 of the thread)
