IRL parallel

Is this a mention of the famous Wandering Jew?

Ahasuerus

This is an ongoing discussion.

As I said in edit comments, there is no mention of Ahasuerus by name in AC, nor do any of the kings' pages have trivia mistaking them for either of the wandering men. Why, then, is that paragraph kept, since it's about the man the Wanderer parallels, and not the Wanderer himself? – Darman (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

We are allowed to include extra real world context for real world parallels. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 15:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Right, but the core comparison is the alleged biblical link, that's it. To me, this is going, "Here's the character's IRL parallel, and also, the parallel did this, too" when it's unrelated to the character. – Darman (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
