I always thought Paul Morphy was a very interesting person.  His eight game simultaneous blindfold chess match was pretty awesome.  At the end of his show, everybody in the cafe went berserk, as they had never really encountered a person who could do that.  In addition, via research done by David Lawson, I also admired Morphy's kind, humble, and peaceful nature: he was very small and diminutive in size; yet, he was an intellectual giant.
