Classic: Who's Who 1

Classic Who's Who 1 (1999) presents noteworthy historical figures in GURPS terms, for use in games. Each "era" has a "Who Might Have Been?" section of people who didn't exist and whose presence are used as alternate history hooks. It also presented alternate histories for each of the historical characters as well.
There was another book in this series: Classic: Who's Who 2
==Important Note==
Due to the changes of 4th edition the Classic point totals given are no longer correct and some skill levels change as half points for a skill no longer exists. Also some skills now have prerequisites and these skills are also added to the conversions. Changes in Strength makes encumbrance much higher than in Classic.
Talents for the most part didn't exist in Classic and so the conversions stick to the original attributes even if using a talent would reduce the point cost.
