Cool question!

1. Typhoid Mary is based off of a woman named Mary Mallon in New York who was quarentiened because she had... TYPHOID! coincidence? i think not... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Mallon
2. all the angles are named after real life myths, specifically celtic myths. the celtic goddess Ceridwen (which also happens to be my sisters name) is the RL goddess of magic, and is often pictured with a cauldron. the FfH Ceridwen, iirc is very magical oriented.
3. Yggdrasil is based off of the myth of the World Tree (also called Yggdrasil) from Norse mythology. the world tree was said to span all 3 layers of creation, tying the earth to Hell and heaven
4. Orthus is based off of the player character of one of kaels mates
i got nothin else

Prophecy of Ragnarok refers to the ending of the world according to Norse Mythos as well. But I don't think that our myths is what he means. I think he means more along the lines of your Typhoid Mary one, something that ACTUALLY exists.

Mahala is based on Mrs. Kael.
Edit- or her D&D character- I don't think in real life she's a barbarian warlord.

The giants you get from the pact of the Nilhorn are named after the three stooges.

Mulcarn is based off of US President Lyndon B Johnson.
...On a more serious note, under the "things" category, we have the Letum Frigus/Stonehenge and the Bone Palace/Taj Mahal.

given : 20 axemans, str 5 , player A
Player B, 1 certain unit X.
Things happening at Players B territories.(Player A attacking)
Player B using unit X disable for 2 turns 13 axemans, damage all of them (now they all str 3), and flee into heavy protected city.
Next turn he kills more 2 , damaging more 4 with same unit.
No more units involved.
Player A is shocked.
Question - who the f...k is that unit X.?

Psychic Llamas: Typhoid Mary is correct
Mythological names etc. don't count
Prophecy of Ragnarok is a bit too abstract, most religions have their prophecies
Mahala is AFAIK fictional character
The three stooges are humans, not giants
Letum Frigus and Bone Palace share graphics, but aren't otherwise similar
current situation: Psychic Llamas 1/4 (remember to tell me if you get sued for that)
hint: you *might* get sued for some I've thought of, but mostly not
hint2: Things?

(technically Typhoid Mary doesn't exist in FfH, she is now know as Mary Morbus).

well, the idea for Mary Morbus still came from Mary Malone didnt it
The Necronomicon is based off of a story by the real world writer H. P. Lovecraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon
The Trojan Horse is obviously a direct reference to the RL Trojan Horse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_Horse
the infernal Grimoir could refer the the Dictionnaire Infernal written by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionnaire_Infernal
The Hero Wilboman is named after Wilboman from the FfH Team.
The Hero Chalid Astrakan is named after Chalid from the FfH Team.
The Hero Alazkan the Assassin is named after Alazkan from the FfH Team.
there are more heros named after team members but i dont think that counts toward this question does it?

i loved to see my no-nosed, crazy skin pigmented freaks running around

The Trojan Horse is obvious
The Dictionnaire Infernal is a bit too vague, unless Kael says otherwise it doesn't count
Team members names don't count
so Psychic Llamas: 3/4
one still for you, weird that nobody has noticed this really obvious one...

Well, here are all four:
Guybrush Threepwood
Typhoid Mary
The Trojan Horse
The Necronomicon
Guybrush Threepwood
Typhoid Mary
The Trojan Horse
The Necronomicon
Well it was too difficult. Here's the answers I found:
Ethne the White (weird that nobody guessed that, an obvious Buddha plagiatry)
Mary Morbus (originally Typhoid Mary, Mary Mallon in real life)
The Trojan Horse
The Necronomicon
and a bit less obvious ones:
The Octopus Overlords (scientology; a twisted cult using mind control and ruled by madness, this is the one you get sued for)
Tebryn Arbandi (some american nutcase "christians")
anyone can guess now, as Guybrush Threepwood is in the same category as the giants

Let me try a different question. Who appears in 3 different pictures in FfH (not just different sizes of the same pic)?
