So 612 definitly had some Hamlet allusions, here's what I got so far, including reasoning as to why:

Hamlet = David (allusion) - Hamlet and David both struggle with weather or not they should avenge the death of there father, see their father's ghost, and wind up as the "son" of a ruthless king who killed their father

Cladius = George (allusion) - a ruthless king who kills Hamlet/David's father (George ordered Robert to be killed, and did not know Hook did it instead), and wind up as "father" to Hamlet/David

Hamlet's father (Ghost) = Robert (allusion) - A good man who is killed by a ruthless king who he shares a connection with (Hamlet's father is Cladius's brother and Robert's son, James, is given to George), and appears as a ghost to his son

Francisco = Francisco (George's knight) - A knight/solider and has the same name

Gertrude = Ruth (allusion), George's wife (allusion) - Gertrude is wife to Hamlet's father and then Cladius mother to Hamlet, and dies via poison; Ruth is wife to Robert and father to David and James and is killed by a poisoned arrow; George's wife was his wife and James's "mother" and was poisoned with an infertility potion and is dead by the time David assumes James's place

Here's the wikipedia article that also links to all the main characters articles:

Did I miss anything? And we should definitly do a story page, right?
