[DarthPorg36]

Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Mongolian?

[Hanging Rook]

Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Mongolian?

Do you really want me to answer this, as we already had not born in Asia?

No, no I don't. I must've missed that question in my brief scan

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Has an “E” in their full first name?

[DarthPorg36]

Also, could you clarify something for us?
We know the person was not born in Southern Europe or Northern Europe. By this logic, would you say that this person was not born in Europe in its entirety, or that Western, Central, and Eastern Europe are still possibilities of birth?

[Hanging Rook]

Yes— an "e" is in their first name — whatever you hope to learn from this

What I can say is that according to none of the definitions in the first three graphs here they are either born in Northern or Southern Europe:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Europe

Actually the UN geoscheme is sufficient as it is the broadest in that regard.

[cdngooner]

That was some bad question-asking by us the Players. It is useless to ask if one lives in a region whose borders are uncertain. We wasted a few questions on the assumption that if not born in either Northern or Southern Europe, he must be born outside Europe entirely.

We can deduce he is from Eastern or Western Europe (as defined by the Wikipedia page Hanging Rook referred us to); or (if not Hannibal, probably unlikely) North Africa.

I think we are at 14 questions.

Did this person fight in a war in the army of the Holy Roman Empire (as it was constituted at the time of at least one of his wars)?

And if so, I use my free guess for Barbarossa.

If not, I will withhold my free guess (I understand this is allowed).

Not Barbarossa though.
