While I was compiling this summary, I realized that this could easily be someone who lived very recently (and who might even still be alive) but does not have a known birthdate.

SUMMARY

2,3. Real human (note that this was passed initially, although "human" without the "real" qualifier was always a "yes"), but not with a known birthdate after December 31, 1699
6. Not female
4,5,7,11. Not born before 1492, or in the 1500s
8. Not primarily known for being the perpetrator of a crime or crimes, or the victim of a crime or accident or disaster, or for the circumstances of their death
10. Not primarily known for involvement in events that took place in what is now the United States or Canada (this question was difficult to answer according to the QM)
9. Not a slave
1. Has an English Wikipedia article that starts with one of the letters in G R E E K S A L A D W I T H P I T A

Passed:

-Is this individual any of the following: a real human born in the Americas, an ancient Egyptian, a monarch, a monarch butterfly, a bird, or a fictional character with supernatural powers?
-Was this figure born in the Americas?
-Is this person a native speaker (or likely a native speaker) of English, Dutch, or French?

NOT:

Good catch on the birthday bit, I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve had a round where a QM lets something like that silently slip by unnoticed (generally because the questions don’t let that happen).

Edit: and because QMs sometimes offer up info themselves

Double edit: the above not meaning to be a slight against the questions asked thus far

Anyway, might as well dive one deeper in the food chain since there may not be a ton of biographical info on this one: Has an English Wikipedia article that starts with one of the letters in G R E E K?

We're at 18 questions, by the way. I can give a hint after 19 or 20 if people want.
