Do you have any characters that are based off real people?

Moonbeam~queen of the fangirls~total bookworm asked S.D. Smith:

Hey Mr. Sam!!! My family and I just watched your Prince Lander book launch, and loved it!!! The one question that you seemed to avoid, though, was the question of who is the Pilgrim! (My dad was one of the people consistently asking that question.) Do you know who the Pilgrim is yet, and if so, is he a character that we have seen in any book??? Thanks!!!! I love your books so much!!! -Anna <3
