I'd say even more literally who but I actually know about him, and he's kind of boring

Nader Shah Ashfar Khan, probably one of the most successful (as in practically flawless) military commanders and ruler of all time.

It will never happen because of people bitching about the ethnicity of whatever actors they cast.

yeah, that's why Shakespeare was such an under-appreciated playwright, right?

Nigger, he restored Persia's old borders and without him there wouldn't be a Persia anymore.

Also, the entire West has been buttmad since 1979 that they can't get Persian oil. Also, Iran is engaged in a proxy war against the West and Saudi Arabia. I'd say they're pretty fucking relevant.

desu I'd say Napoleon could be considered a victory since even though he died on a shitty isle in the middle of nowhere he radically and permanently changed the European power structure and system

Wouldn't Alexandre Dumas have a better history?
He was poor but smart, suffered racism.
His father was a huge war hero, but that he hardly knew.
Then, there is the history of his mother, that had to raise him alone.
Eventually became one of the greatest French writers ever.

This is pretty much the recipe of "Oscar Winning movie".
