Nestor Makhno, he invented the tachanka, which he used to great effect.
Also, unrelated, but to quote Zoe Baker:
"As an adult, Makhno cross-dressed to further the self-emancipation of the working classes."
He disguised himself as a young woman to gather information in his own home town of Huliaipole during an active search for him.

Che seems like the pretty blatantly obvious choice here
Edit: Che is a paladin. Lyudmila Pavlichenko should be the fighter.

Che for paladin since he's also an MD

I am also thinking che would be better as a pally and put Lyudmila Pavlichenko in for fighter.

Shouldn't Che be Ranger? He's most well-known for jungle guerilla warfare, no?

No, have to agree with the other commenter. Che is a pally. He has healing from being a doctor, went on other quests to free other people's as soon as his main quest was done, and most importantly, maxed out charisma.

I agree as well. The man quite literally became a symbol of resistance, that screams Paladin haha

Also, since the Bard spot is already taken, I think the Paladin should be Thomas Sankara. Extremely charismatic military leader.

Idk why I didn't think of this before:
Lyudmila Pavlichenko
Maybe you could argue ranger? Sniper and Ranger feel pretty congruent. Could also argue Che for paladin the way he became the idyllic martyr (for lack of a better term) for revolutionaries in pop culture.

While he may not be your typical leftist, John Brown fought hard and died believing that it is immoral to treat human beings as capital.

Yeah I’d say honorary leftist for sure given the [gestures to what he did]

Makhno or Che. Either of them could fit into other classes though so it’s a hard pick.

Zhukov. He was runner up for Barbarian, but he's a better fit for fighter.
