That definitely falls under the umbrella of 'too important' that we try to avoid; because it's highly probable that they would one day come into direct conflict with canon.

War heroes, however, would be a different story. Very few of those men and women who distinguish themselves in battle are particularly influential; and yet the world knows them.

Take Bull Allen for example. An Australian soldier during WW2. He was a stretcher bearer. Under heavy enemy fire, he single handedly carried a dozen wounded US soldiers to safety.

Franz Stigler, a German pilot, flew underneath a badly damaged B-17, escorting the pilot safely out of German air space and into neutral territory over open waters.

THAT is the kind of historical character we have no issue with. Not leaders, but heroes.
