History Characters / InternetHistorian

* IronicAllergy: When a friendly bee approaches him, Honey Man calls for his EpiPen. It cuts to him on the floor with his wife shocking him with a defibrillator, implying he’s severely allergic to bees.

[[folder:Honey man?]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared briefly at the beginning of the ad section in "[=TheVarus=] Strakes Buck." Has yet to show up in an actual sponsor video of his own, but will presumably be the avatar for Honey if they ever decide to sponsor IH again.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: IH's character is………odd to say the least:
** He steals a bell from the Costa Concordia just to throw it into the ocean a few years later

-->'''IH''' "Why do they call them all buildings when they are no longer in construction? They should be called 'builts'! And why do they always use that blue paper for plans? And why is nobody outside? And why can't I get into this house? And why are they calling the cops? And why won't the voices in my head stop? And who gave me this gun?

* CommutingOnABus: She only appears ''very'' sparingly, either as a female voice or whenever Historian feels like he needs her around for whatever funny FramingDevice his videos has.

A businessman who represents the marketing agencies of companies that try to use the internet for free marketing, he always manages to fail spectacularly at whatever he's doing and never learns from these mistakes. He makes a return in "[=TheVarus=] Strakes Buck" to help the celebrities keep the public entertained and happy. It goes as well as you expect.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He plays this trope straight once he realizes that the celebrities have no hope of rallying the public during the lockdown because of their disconnect with them.

* SomethingPerson: [=NordVPN=] Man (and more recently, Nordman).

* AbusiveParents: While at first Raycon's father seems rather nice, he does use his last breath to emotionally traumatise his son by shouting "why, son, why? You're responsible for this!"

* FreudianExcuse: When his father's wired earphones get stuck in a branch, it [[OffWithHisHead decapitates]] him while Raycon watches. This event severely traumatizes him and influences him to go on a quest to replace as many wires as he can with Raycon earbuds.

* AwfulWeddedLife: The basis of Bonnet's turning to pirating was largely through taking all his wife's yells of "STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDE!" attributed to the debts and various troubles in his farmstead.

* HypercompetentSidekick: One of the few people who knows the ropes at sea. Him being demoted to one-eighth master in favor of Ignatius Pell really put the crew into a string of bad luck. Then when Bonnet returns to save him and the crew from dying of starvation at the sandbar, he helped Bonnet become an effective captain.
* IWarnedYou: The quartermaster warns Bonnet about Blackbeard early on. [[spoiler: When Bonnet’s crew is left marooned on a sandbar, the quartermaster says “Well, that’s what we get for trusting Blackbeard, ey men?”]]

--->'''Quartermaster''': Captain, I don't want to have to break this moment but I'm gonna need you to trust me, I've had your back since day 1 and we've been on a lot of adventures together now and I know you don't listen to my advice too often, but to be fair, Stede…… oh my god you get everything wrong, how did you how can you do this? [[SanitySlippage (breaking composure out of sheer absurdity)]] ''Every time! You just fuck shit up! (laughs) You're dumb! You dumb boy! ''

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Very much this, and when asked why he was still here, the quartermaster described him as "a no-nonsense guy with a heart of a captain and a great sense of humor."

* HypercompetentSidekick: One of the few people who knows the ropes at sea. Him being demoted to one-eighth master in favor of Ignatius Pell really put the crew into a string of bad luck. Then when Bonnet returns to save him and the crew from dying of starvation at the sand bar, he helped Bonnet become an effective captain.

* GassHole: He takes poops that shoots out of him fast like a gun shooting, implying he had a lot of gas built up behind it, the poop itself also stinks so badly the neighbours got together to discuss what to do about it.

* {{Animesque}}: [=NordVPN=] Man has his own anime opening in "mythology." where he battles a hacker.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Has yet to show up in an actual sponsor video of his own, but will presumably be the avatar for Honey if they ever decide to sponsor IH again.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After ratting on Bonnet, he then testified against him. Only when at the docket, actually defended Bonnet's character and said that the quartermaster holds the decisions. The judge ignored it, saying that Pell said otherwise in writing and sentenced Bonnet to death anyways. Pell became distraught, and after catching wind of a letter from Governor Johnson, rushed to deliver it to Colonel Rhett before Bonnet would die in the gallows... [[YankTheDogsChain only for the said letter to not be a pardon, but approval of the execution]].]]

A businessman who represents the marketing agencies of companies that try to use the internet for free marketing, he always manages to fail spectacularly at whatever he's doing and never learns from these mistakes. He makes a return in "[=TheVarus=] Strakes Back" to help the celebrities keep the public entertained and happy. It goes as well as you expect.

[[caption-width-right:350:Thank you, Thank you all of my children.]]

The CEO of Tesla and [=SpaceX=], Elon Musk leads the remnants of humanity after [[EarthThatWas Earth was rendered uninhabitable]] due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He has colonized Mars and is now willing to send humans back to Earth. [[spoiler: He turns out to be infected with Covid-19.]]

* AfterTheEnd: Elon Musk leads what's left of humanity after Covid-19 ravaged Earth.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Has become one of the symptoms for Covid-19. [[spoiler: This how Elon finds out he's been infected with Covid-19.]]

* Cliffhanger: [[spoiler: Subjected to this at the end of "Varus Strakes Buck", where he finds out he has been infected with Covid-19.]]
* HomeworldEvacuation: Pulled this after Covid-19 got out of control and too much for humanity to handle.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Elon Musk in our timeline is a businessman who is instrumental in the invention of Electric cars and Private Space Travel. In IHE's timeline however, Elon is a MessianicArchetype who is responsible for the survival of humanity and the HomeworldEvacuation of Earth.
* Uncertain Doom: [[spoiler: Due to the nature of "Varus Strakes Buck" ending on a cliffhanger, Elon's fate remains unknown.]]

* NoNameGiven: Since the real name of Bonnet's quartermaster was never discovered, the quartermaster is never given a name.

* CloudCuckooLander: IH's character is………odd to say the least:

-->'''IH''' "Why do they call them all buildings when they are no longer in construction, they should be called 'builts' and why do they always use that blue paper for plans? And why is nobody outside? And why can't I get into this house? And why are they calling the cops? And why won't the voices in my head stop? And who gave me this gun?

* AbusiveParents: While at first Raycon's father seems rather nice, he does use his last breath to emotionally traumatise his son by shouting "why son why? You're responsible for this".

* DeathByOriginStory: Raycon's father dies in his origin by being decapitated with wired headphones [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment with wires]].

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Took a cannonball shot while at the standoff in Cape Fear River. And then Bonnet tried to fruitlessly cram his guts back in.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: The quartermaster never raises his voice and speaks in a calm tone at all times; even when informing Stede Bonnet that an enemy cannonball had just cut him in half.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After ratting on Bonnet, he then testified against him. Only when at the docket, actually defended Bonnet's character and said that the quartermaster holds the decisions. The judge ignored it, saying that Pell said otherwise in writing and sentenced Bonnet to death anyways. Pell became distraught, and after catching wind of a letter from Governor Johnson, rushed to deliver it to Colonel Rhett before Bonnet would die in the gallows... [[YankTheDogsChain only for the said letter to not be a pardon, but approval of the execution]].

* BaitAndSwitch: It seemed that he would grant the pardon to Bonnet when his letter got to gallows just in time... only for it to be an explicit approval of the execution order. Given historical contexts, it's a ForegoneConclusion.

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Nobody knows why he was still there on Bonnet's ship after they were rescued, the subtitles mention "He just kind of hung around"

** [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny He gets distracted by a Frisbee after Fyre Festival collapses in flames and decides to live like a caveman for the next few years, on a massively populated island in the Bahamas]]
** [[KickTheDog He lock's Internet Herstorian out of his bunker during the Y2K apocalypse even though its a two person bunker]]

Because of this, Shadow Man's children become orphans due to the death of both of their parents. Hell, we aren't even sure if The Right Opinion will give Shadow Man a proper burial considering how he neglected the rest of his prisoners.]] Poor Shadow Man.
