IRL parallel

Is this a mention of the famous Wandering Jew?

Ahasuerus

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)

I disagree. Given the multiple instancing of Sages I think the Wandering Jew being connected to other identities is very pertinent to the Wanderer being a Sage and should be noted. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 17:11, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Matter resolved in Discord on 31 January 2025, with 4 votes in favor of removing information on Ahasuerus (myself, VilkaIsBack, Soranin, and Sol) and 3 votes against (Lacrosse, TylerFB2000, and Nstav13). – Darman (talk) 14:25, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
