Damn, this game moved fast when I was away from the boards. For completeness, the people in my IQs were Sebastian Shaw (Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi), Steve Howe, and Zac Starkey (through Alan White). I don’t have anything else to offer right now, but figured I should at least come clean on my questions.
Previous IQs:
Were you captain of the NSEA Protector? - Peter Quincy Taggart in Galaxy Quest.
Were you “the Rock of Chickamauga”? - George Henry Thomas, from the Civil War.
Were you an early American diplomat to Paris? - Yes, Thomas Jefferson.
Hmmm. Stumped as to who this person is.
DQ:
Philosopher/thinker?
IQ:
Did you climb Mt. Everest with just one other person?
I already got a DQ for Sir Terry…

One DQ reserved.

Gah … don’t know this guy’s name … but you won’t need the DQ you’ve gotten.
Yes … yes I did 
With Edmund Hillary in 1953. We were the first two up there, as a matter of fact.
I am … Tenzing Norgay.
I like how you posted this, and then nailed the answer two sentences later in the same post 
Very good job, EH! I’ve heard of the guy but would never have come up with him.
Thich Quang Duc was the famously photographed immolated monk.
This was actually a tricky DQ for Tenzing Norgay. His place of birth is not definitively known – it’s either in NE Nepal or just across the border in Tibet. Luckily, most of Tibet and all of Nepal is closer to the equator than Baghdad, which I didn’t know strictly from memory.
Thanks, all! And a good mystery person, bordelond.
Yeah, I’m pretty impressive that way. Heheheheh.
