Let's say I know of a real a squatter in the mountains of the Yukon named Klaus from Austria who fancies himself a grizzly bear researcher and has found funding from private sources to finance his "research," despite not being a biologist or possessing any real scientific qualifications. But he has found real credibility with the bear hugger crowd.
Now let's imagine I create a character named Oscar from Norway who is essentially doing what I described above and in my story ends up in a collision of purposes with a real scientific observation team sent out by a university with official government approval.
Is Oscar too obviously modeled on Klaus?
