I've recenntly been wanting to put Don Quixote of La Mancha in as eihter a character or possible names or both, and as for the character, which scenario should I put him in, what skills should he have, and what traits should he have. The list of traits I have for him already are as follows:

Misguided Warrior
Arbitrary
Maniac

For his skills:

Martial: 6
Diplomacy: 8
Intrigue: 3
Stewardship: 1

Anymore help would be appreciated greatly.

He's a fictional character, so he shouldn't be in historically accurate scenario. :)

A quick read on the Wiki entry of him would indicate that he is later than CK era character too, since he (Quixote) is inspired by writings of Feliciano de Silva and de Silva lived in early 16th century.

Well, did it say what time period the stories took place in. Because that might be in the CK timeframe. If not, I'd still like to create a character for him though.

His adventures take place in the late XVIth century, early XVIIth. Yet having read too much books about medieval errand knights he saw himself as one. That's (partly) why the book is funny.
You can create him anyway but a true errand knight should have no court. :)

Well, the entry said that Don Quixote, the character himself, was being inspired to adventuring by reading de Silva. So if that is true, then he definetly could not be CK era, since de Silva is already outside CK era.

Ok. Thank you. I have to read the Book 1 for school and have read about to the 20th chapter. It would just be interesting to have him in there.

Of course you can add him there. Since he's a fictional character anyway, I don't think that it's so critical that he is in correct time. There already is "of La Mancha" dynasty, number 100178.
