Where did you guys get the trivia that Wynert was based on a historical figure? I saw that this was added by a user back in 2015, but the trivia listed was no citation and any search online yields no results to a real life figure going by this name.--'''[[User:NinjaSheik|<span style="color:#FBEC5D;">Ninja</span>]][[User talk:NinjaSheik|<span style="color:#87CEFA;">Sheik</span>]]''' 21:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Seconding this. Where did this come from? The closest that I can find to this online is that Adam Worth had an associate named Johnny Curtin, who seduced his wife. But nowhere is that linked to Ned??? The linked interview that discusses Ned heavily doesn't reference him as a historical character at all... Personally, I would say he is more based likely based on James Barry, who was a real life male surgeon of the time, who rose to the second-highest medical office in the British Army, and who was discovered after death to be biologically female.

Based on Historical Figure?

Where did you guys get the trivia that Wynert was based on a historical figure? I saw that this was added by a user back in 2015, but the trivia listed was no citation and any search online yields no results to a real life figure going by this name.--NinjaSheik 21:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
