If you look carefully at the expression on the elephant's face, you can see they appear to be judging the viewer of the painting, quite rightly, I might add.

Interpreting this as "borders the Pacific Ocean, or borders India".

No.

Is this figure a real human who was born in the quadrilateral formed by the birthplaces of the subjects of round 111, 222, 333, and 444? (sadly i cannot supply the map this time)
For the record: this would actually be a concave quadrilateral, so there's some ambiguity as to how it would be drawn. Therefore, I'll just say that this person was NOT born inside the triangle formed by Reading (Pennsylvania), Rome, and St. Petersburg. Since the (current) US and Canada are already eliminated, here's a closeup of the eastern portion of the triangle.

Was this person born in either Europe or a part of the Ottoman Empire in 1683?

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire#/media/File:OttomanEmpireMain.png; both the light green and the dark green count, but not the striped green.)

No, although Brazil was already eliminated because it borders France.

I'm actually going to refund that question, because I would have counted Thailand and Argentina as bordering the Pacific Ocean, or at least passed on the Pacific Ocean question. So you get free info that this person was not born in what is now Iran or India.

Eh, no need to refund, I was considering Iran and India mainly anyway when asking that question.

Many questions in and we know little about this person

Primarily famous for politics, government, religion, or the military?

Technically the non-European, non-African, non-Russia bordering parts of the Ottoman Empire are alive if the person was born in a year other than 1683
