For a historical example of just how incredibly devious, vile and downright evil a corporation can be, look no further than the East India Company's undisputed reign of terror. You may recognise these foes as the non-magical, mercantile, malevolent force two of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and unsurprisingly they are so much worse than is portrayed in a Disney movie (or two.) So get ready for some capital colonialism and listen to the tale of the EIC.

111. Chevaliere d'Eon - The 18th Century French Trans Spy

Starting off Pride month with an Ace historical figure! There is so little ace/aroace representation out there from history to even now, I wanted to ensure we start Pride right, sharing the sometimes batty life of Sir Isaac Newton. If you only know him as the man who discovered gravity, oh there is so much more and it is brilliant!

110. Sir Isaac Newton - Ace of Reason

What's this? A good news story from history??? Officially referred to as the 1925 Nome Serum Run, the Great Race of Mercy was an Alaskan dogsled relay that quite literally saved an entire village of children suffering from diphtheria. Yes, yes, we know about Balto, but this story is so much wilder than the cartoon entails, I assure you. Also... Justice for Togo!!!
