Previous IQs: Did you call a truce during a war for a foe’s wedding night? - I don’t remember Robb Stark doing that, but I’ll rephrase. Were you the victor of the Battle of Cedar Creek? - Not Stonewall Jackson; he was dead by then. This was Phil Sheridan. Was your middle name McMasters? - Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s SECWAR. DQs: Is known to use a gun? Generally considered a good guy? IQs: You are a real person. Did you call a truce during a war for a foe’s wedding night? Did your husband go deeper into space whenever he thought of you? Did you play the Antichrist, a spy and a scientist?
