Zorro
The masked swordsman who crept into the hearts of millions of adoring fans thanks to his portrayal by Antonio Banderas on the silver screen has often been mistaken for a real life person. Although the character himself talks about the legend of Zorro being passed down from generation to generation, this is purely something that was created as part of the storyline. Zorro’s character is based on an 1800’s thief, but has no formal affiliation with a real person otherwise.

Ichabod Crane
Ichabod Crane is an unforgettable character from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, originally published back in 1820. Made out to be an olden day hero, the character has crept into the hearts of millions of readers over the years. Unfortunately, he isn’t a real person at all. Although character sketches are notoriously detailed across the short stories in the book, Ichabod is purely fictional, and never truly existed in the same way we all do.
