Game and Story Use
- In a historical or time travel campaign, Weishaupt could be an interesting NPC to meet, either as a Patron, or as an enemy Mastermind.
- It's been claimed that portraits of Weishaupt look remarkably like the portrait of George Washington on the One Dollar Bill. Washington is known to have been a Freemason. Did Weishaupt actually kill Washington and take his place?
