Colonel Richard Henry Meinertzhagen
Baddass Colonial British Officer. Pretty much everything he did required a whole lot of "gumption". Took on witchdoctors. Killed Germans in both World Wars with his warclub. Signifcant force in the formation of Israel.
Even more badass is that history holds him in different lights. I've read two books about him; one made him pretty damn tough and heroic, the other made him a fraud and a murderer. All sources from each biography considered, I err on the side of both. He killed a servant in India that mistreated his horse. His wife died an accidental death while cleaning his guns. He was a bird guy. Orthin(whaterver)olgist, who may have stolen some of his speciems. Shrug. Tough, Bad, Real Life.
